Kinetic phase diagram for two-step nucleation in colloid-polymer mixtures
Willem Gispen, Peter G. Bolhuis, Marjolein Dijkstra
Two-step crystallization via a metastable intermediate phase is often regarded as a non-classical process that lies beyond the framework of classical nucleation theory (CNT). In th…
Inverse Design of Crystals and Quasicrystals in a Non-Additive Binary Mixture of Hard Disks
Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel, Jochem T. Lange, Alberto Pérez de Alba Ortíz +1
The development of new materials typically involves a process of trial and error, guided by insights from past experimental and theoretical findings. The inverse design approach fo…
Variational Umbrella Seeding for Calculating Nucleation Barriers
Willem Gispen, Jorge R. Espinosa, Eduardo Sanz +2
In this work, we introduce Variational Umbrella Seeding, a novel technique for computing nucleation barriers. This new method, a refinement of the original seeding approach, is far…
Finding the Differences: Classical Nucleation Perspective on Homogeneous Melting and Freezing of Hard Spheres
Willem Gispen, Marjolein Dijkstra
By employing brute-force molecular dynamics, umbrella sampling, and seeding simulations, we investigate homogeneous nucleation during melting and freezing of hard spheres. We provi…
