A parameter-free, solid-angle based, nearest-neighbor algorithm
Jacobus A. van Meel, Laura Filion, Chantal Valeriani +1
We propose a parameter-free algorithm for the identification of nearest neighbors. The algorithm is very easy to use and has a number of advantages over existing algorithms to iden…
Nucleation in a sheared Ising model: effects of external field
Rosalind J. Allen, Chantal Valeriani, Sorin Tanase-Nicola
Simulations using the Forward Flux Sampling method have shown a nonmonotonic de- pendence of the homogeneous nucleation rate on the shear rate for a sheared two dimensional Ising m…
Ion association in low-polarity solvents: comparisons between theory, simulation, and experiment
Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken +2
The association of ions in electrolyte solutions at very low concentration and low temperature is studied using computer simulations and quasi-chemical ion-pairing theory. The spec…
Computer simulations of the restricted primitive model at very low temperature and density
Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken +2
The problem of successfully simulating ionic fluids at low temperature and low density states is well known in the simulation literature: using conventional methods, the system is…
Homogeneous Bubble Nucleation driven by local hot spots: a Molecular Dynamics Study
Zun-Jing Wang, Chantal Valeriani, Daan Frenkel
We report a Molecular Dynamics study of homogenous bubble nucleation in a Lennard-Jones fluid. The rate of bubble nucleation is estimated using forward-flux sampling (FFS). We find…
Out-of-equilibrium processes in suspensions of oppositely charged colloids: liquid-to-crystal nucleation and gel formation
Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Teun Vissers +5
We study the kinetics of the liquid-to-crystal transformation and of gel formation in colloidal suspensions of oppositely charged particles. We analyse, by means of both computer s…
