Local structure of liquid carbon controls diamond nucleation
L. M. Ghiringhelli, C. Valeriani, E. J. Meijer +1
Diamonds melt at temperatures above 4000 K. There are no measurements of the steady-state rate of the reverse process: diamond nucleation from the melt, because experiments are dif…
Colloid-polymer mixtures in the protein limit
Peter G. Bolhuis, Evert Jan Meijer, Ard A. Louis
We computed the phase-separation behavior and effective interactions of colloid-polymer mixtures in the "protein limit", where the polymer radius of gyration is much larger than th…
Polymer induced depletion potentials in polymer-colloid mixtures
A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis, E. J. Meijer +1
The depletion interactions between two colloidal plates or between two colloidal spheres, induced by interacting polymers in a good solvent, are calculated theoretically and by com…
Coarse-graining polymers as soft colloids
A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis, R. Finken +3
We show how to coarse grain polymers in a good solvent as single particles, interacting with density-independent or density-dependent interactions. These interactions can be betwee…
Density profiles and surface tensions of polymers near colloidal surfaces
A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis, E. J. Meijer +1
The surface tension of interacting polymers in a good solvent is calculated theoretically and by computer simulations for a planar wall geometry and for the insertion of a single c…
Accurate effective pair potentials for polymer solutions
P. G. Bolhuis, A. A. Louis, J. P. Hansen +1
Dilute or semi-dilute solutions of non-intersecting self-avoiding walk (SAW) polymer chains are mapped onto a fluid of ``soft'' particles interacting via an effective pair potentia…
