Phase diagram of Hertzian spheres
Josep C. Pàmies, Angelo Cacciuto, Daan Frenkel
We report the phase diagram of interpenetrating Hertzian spheres. The Hertz potential is purely repulsive, bounded at zero separation, and decreases monotonically as a power law wi…
Confinement-driven translocation of a flexible polymer
Angelo Cacciuto, Erik Luijten
We consider the escape of a flexible, self-avoiding polymer chain out of a confined geometry. By means of simulations, we demonstrate that the translocation time can be described b…
Crystalline Particle Packings on a Sphere with Long Range Power Law Potentials
Mark J. Bowick, Angelo Cacciuto, David R. Nelson +1
The original Thomson problem of "spherical crystallography" seeks the ground state of electron shells interacting via the Coulomb potential; however one can also study crystalline…
Grain Boundary Scars and Spherical Crystallography
A. R. Bausch, M. J. Bowick, A. Cacciuto +6
We describe experimental investigations of the structure of two-dimensional spherical crystals. The crystals, formed by beads self-assembled on water droplets in oil, serve as mode…
