Compositional fluctuations and polymorph selection in crystallization of model soft colloids
Abhilasha Kumari, Gadha Ramesh, Debasish Koner +2
Understanding polymorph selection in atomic and molecular systems and its control through thermodynamic conditions and external factors (such as seed characteristics) is fundamenta…
Manifestations of the possible thermodynamic origin of water's anomalies in non-classical vapor nucleation at negative pressures
Yuvraj Singh, Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh
Over the years, various scenarios -- such as the stability-limit conjecture (SLC), two critical point (TCP), critical point-free (CPF), and singularity-free (SF) -- have been propo…
Effects of quenched disorder on the kinetics and pathways of phase transition in a soft colloidal system
Gadha Ramesh, Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh
Although impurities are unavoidable in real-world and experimental systems, most numerical studies on nucleation focus on pure (impurity-free) systems. As a result, the role of imp…
Anomalous Vapor and Ice Nucleation in Water at Negative Pressures: A Classical Density Functional Theory Study
Yuvraj Singh, Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh
In contrast to the abundance of work on the anomalous behavior of water, the relationship between the water's thermodynamic anomalies and kinetics of phase transition from metastab…
Polymorph selection during crystallization of a model colloidal fluid with a free energy landscape containing a metastable solid
Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh, Biman Bagchi
The free energy landscape responsible for crystallization can be complex even for relatively simple systems like hard sphere and charged stabilized colloids. In this work, using ha…
Terminal polydispersity in the crystallization of polydisperse Lennard-Jones liquid
Sarmistha Sarkar, Mantu Santra, Biman Bagchi
We find through computer simulations that the fractional volume change on freezing of polydisperse Lennard-Jones liquid decreases with increasing polydispersity and approaches zero…
