Crystal nucleation in a vapor deposited Lennard-Jones mixture
Fabio Leoni, Hajime Tanaka, John Russo
Understanding the pathways to crystallization during the deposition of a vapor phase on a cold solid substrate is of great interest in industry, e.g., for the realization of electr…
Colloidal Hard Spheres: Triumphs, Challenges and Mysteries
C. Patrick Royall, Patrick Charbonneau, Marjolein Dijkstra +4
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static an…
Structural signatures of ultrastability in a deposited glassformer
Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli, C. Patrick Royall +1
Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics si…
Design strategies for the self-assembly of polyhedral shells
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc, Francesco Sciortino +1
The control over the self-assembly of complex structures is a long-standing challenge of material science, especially at the colloidal scale, as the desired assembly pathway is oft…
Two-step nucleation in a binary mixture of Patchy Particles
Camilla Beneduce, Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc +2
Nucleation in systems with a metastable liquid-gas critical point is the prototypical example of a two-step nucleation process, in which the appearance of the critical nucleus is p…
From ultra-fast growth to avalanche growth in devitrifying glasses
Taiki Yanagishima, John Russo, Roel P A Dullens +1
During devitrification, pre-existing crystallites grow by adding particles to their surface via a process that is either thermally activated (diffusive mode) or happens without kin…
