Equilibrium Phase Behavior of a Continuous-Space Microphase Former
Yuan Zhuang, Kai Zhang, Patrick Charbonneau
Periodic microphases universally emerge in systems for which short-range inter-particle attraction is frustrated by long-range repulsion. The morphological richness of these phases…
[N]pT ensemble and finite-size scaling study of the GEM-4 critical isostructural transition
Kai Zhang, Patrick Charbonneau
First-order transitions of system where both lattice site occupancy and lattice spacing fluctuate, such as cluster crystals, cannot be efficiently studied by traditional simulation…
[N]pT Monte Carlo Simulations of the Cluster-Crystal-Forming Penetrable Sphere Model
Kai Zhang, Patrick Charbonneau
Certain models with purely repulsive pair interactions can form cluster crystals with multiply-occupied lattice sites. Simulating these models' equilibrium properties is, however,…
Reentrant and Isostructural Transitions in a Cluster-Crystal Former
Kai Zhang, Patrick Charbonneau, Bianca M. Mladek
We study the low-temperature behavior of a simple cluster-crystal forming system through simulation. The phase behavior is found to be hybrid between the Gaussian core and penetrab…
