Crystallization of hard-sphere glasses
E. Zaccarelli, C. Valeriani, E. Sanz +3
We study by molecular dynamics the interplay between arrest and crystallization in hard spheres. For state points in the plane of volume fraction () and po…

Hard Spheres: Crystallization and Glass Formation
P. N. Pusey, E. Zaccarelli, C. Valeriani +3
Motivated by old experiments on colloidal suspensions, we report molecular dynamics simulations of assemblies of hard spheres, addressing crystallization and glass formation. The s…

Rate of Homogeneous Crystal Nucleation in molten NaCl
C. Valeriani, E. Sanz, D. Frenkel
We report a numerical simulation of the rate of crystal nucleation of sodium chloride from its melt at moderate supercooling. In this regime nucleation is too slow to be studied wi…
