What Lies Between Crystal and Randomly Packed Structures? A General Characterization of Non-Periodic Order
Ian Douglass, Peter Harrowell
In this paper we address the characterization of the structure of condensed materials, periodic and non-periodic. Carrying out an extensive study of over 7000 different groundstate…
Structural Diversity in Condensed Matter: A General Characterization of Crystals, Amorphous Solids and the Structures Between
Yueran Wang, Peter Harrowell
A definition of structural diversity, adapted from the biodiversity literature, is introduced to provide a general characterization of structures of condensed matter. Using the Fav…
The Structural Difference Between Strong and Fragile Liquids
Gang Sun, Peter Harrowell
A structural order parameter for disordered configurations is defined, based, not on local topologies, but on the degree of local restraint imposed on each atom. This restraint par…
Translation-Rotation Coupling and the Kinematics of Non-Slip Boundary Conditions: A Rough Sphere between Two Sliding Walls
Yueran Wang, Peter Harrowell
A non-slip constraint between a particle and a wall is applied at the microscopic level of collision dynamics using the rough sphere model. We analyse the consequences of the trans…
Amorphous Solidification of a Supercooled Liquid in the Limit of Rapid Cooling
Gang Sun, Peter Harrowell
We monitor the transformation of a liquid into an amorphous solid in simulations of a glass forming liquid by measuring the variation of a structural order parameter with either ch…
Crystal Growth Rates from Molecular Liquids: The Kinetics of Entropy Loss
Richard K Bowles, Peter Harrowell
It has been established empirically that the rate of addition of molecules to the crystal during crystal growth from the melt is proportional to exp(-|ΔS_fus|/R) where ΔS_fus is th…
