Frenkel's entropy-exchange mechanism in monodisperse, nearly hard-sphere colloids: minimal perturbations to access fluid-crystal coexistence

J. Galen Wang, Umesh Dhumal, Monica E. A. Zakhari +1

Entropically driven fluid-solid transitions in monodisperse, purely repulsive hard spheres (MPRHS) are well established in theory, simulation, and experiment for atomic and colloid…
