Inherent Structures for Soft Long-Range Interactions in Two-Dimensional Many-Particle Systems
Robert D. Batten, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
We generate inherent structures, local potential-energy minima, of the "-space overlap potential" in two-dimensional many-particle systems using a cooling and quenching simulati…
Novel Ground-State Crystals with Controlled Vacancy Concentrations: From Kagomé to Honeycomb to Stripes
Robert D. Batten, David A. Huse, Frank H. Stillinger +1
We introduce a one-parameter family, , of pair potential functions with a single relative energy minimum that stabilize a range of vacancy-riddled crystals as grou…
Phase Behavior of Colloidal Superballs: Shape Interpolation from Spheres to Cubes
Robert D. Batten, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
The phase behavior of hard superballs is examined using molecular dynamics within a deformable periodic simulation box. A superball's interior is defined by the inequality $|x|^{2q…
Novel Low-Temperature Behavior in Classical Many-Particle Systems
Robert D. Batten, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
We show that classical many-particle systems interacting with certain soft pair interactions in two dimensions exhibit novel low-temperature behaviors. Ground states span from diso…
Classical Disordered Ground States: Super-Ideal Gases, and Stealth and Equi-Luminous Materials
Robert D. Batten, Frank H. Stillinger, Salvatore Torquato
Using a collective coordinate numerical optimization procedure, we construct ground-state configurations of interacting particle systems in various space dimensions so that the sca…
