Pair interactions between complex mesoscopic particles from Widom's particle-insertion method
Bianca M. Mladek, Daan Frenkel
We demonstrate that Widom's particle insertion technique provides a convenient and efficient method to determine the effective pair interaction between complex, composite soft-matt…
Computer Assembly of Cluster-Forming Amphiphilic Dendrimers
Bianca M. Mladek, Gerhard Kahl, Christos N. Likos
Recent theoretical studies have predicted a new clustering mechanism for soft matter particles that interact via a certain kind of purely repulsive, bounded potentials. At sufficie…
Phase coexistence of cluster crystals: beyond the Gibbs phase rule
Bianca M. Mladek, Patrick Charbonneau, Daan Frenkel
We report a study of the phase behavior of multiple-occupancy crystals through simulation. We argue that in order to reproduce the equilibrium behavior of such crystals it is essen…
Why do ultrasoft repulsive particles cluster and crystallize? Analytical results from density functional theory
Christos N. Likos, Bianca M. Mladek, Dieter Gottwald +1
We demonstrate the accuracy of the hypernetted chain closure and of the mean-field approximation for the calculation of the fluid-state properties of systems interacting by means o…
Formation of Polymorphic Cluster Phases for Purely Repulsive Soft Spheres
Bianca M. Mladek, Dieter Gottwald, Gerhard Kahl +2
We present results from density functional theory and computer simulations that unambiguously predict the occurrence of first-order freezing transitions for a large class of ultras…
