Colloidal gels assembled via a temporary interfacial scaffold
Eduardo Sanz, Kathryn A. White, Paul S. Clegg +1
The liquid-liquid phase separation of a binary solvent can be arrested by colloidal particles trapped at the interface [K. Stratford et al., Science 309, 5744 (2005)]. We show expe…
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…
Non-Markovian melting: a novel procedure to generate initial liquid like phases for small molecules for use in computer simulation studies
Carl McBride, Carlos Vega, Eduardo Sanz
Computer simulations of liquid phases require an initial configuration from which to begin. The preparation of such an initial configuration or `snapshot' often involves the meltin…
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…
The range of meta stability of ice-water melting for two simple models of water
Carl McBride, Carlos Vega, Eduardo Sanz +2
A number of crystal structures of water have been `superheated' in Monte Carlo simulations. Two well known models for water were considered; namely the TIP4P model and the SPC/E mo…
Determination of phase diagrams via computer simulation: Methodology and applications to water, electrolytes and proteins
C. Vega, E. Sanz, J. L. F. Abascal +1
In this review we focus on the determination of phase diagrams by computer simulation with particular attention to the fluid-solid and solid-solid equilibria. The calculation of th…
