Precursor-mediated crystallization process in suspensions of hard spheres
T. Schilling, H. J. Schope, M. Oettel +2
We report on a large scale computer simulation study of crystal nucleation in hard spheres. Through a combined analysis of real and reciprocal space data, a picture of a two-step c…
Effective interactions and melting of a one dimensional defect lattice within a two-dimensional confined colloidal solid
Yu-Hang Chui, Surajit Sengupta, Ian K. Snook +1
We report Monte Carlo studies of a two-dimensional soft colloidal crystal confined in a strip geometry by parallel walls. The wall-particle interaction has corrugations along the l…
The Observation of Formation and Annihilation of Solitons and Standing Strain Wave Superstructures in a Two-Dimensional Colloidal Crystal
Yu-Hang Chui, Surajit Sengupta, Ian K. Snook +1
Confining a colloidal crystal within a long narrow channel produced by two parallel walls can be used to impose a meso-scale superstructure of a predominantly mechanical elastic ch…
Evaluation of the Permutational Structure of the Canonical Ensemble Partition Function
Ryan Springall, Manolo Per, Ian K. Snook
Proposed is an alternative method for permutational sampling in quantum gases using the path integral formulation of statistical mechanics. It is shown that in principle we are abl…
