Entropic magnetic interlayer coupling
William Huddie, Laura Filion, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
Nanomagnetism concerns the engineering of magnetic interactions in heterostructures that consist of layers of magnetic and non-magnetic materials. Mostly, these interactions are do…
Defects Enhance Stability in 12-fold Symmetric Soft-Matter Quasicrystals
Alptuğ Ulugöl, Robert J. Hardeman, Frank Smallenburg +1
Quasicrystals are materials that exhibit long-range order without translational periodicity. In soft matter, the most commonly observed quasicrystal has 12-fold symmetry and consis…
Phase behavior and crystal nucleation of hard triangular prisms
Marjolein de Jager, Nena Slaats, Laura Filion
The interplay between densification and positional ordering during the process of crystal nucleation is a greatly investigated topic. Even for the simplest colloidal model -- hard…
Statistical mechanics of crystal nuclei of hard spheres
Marjolein de Jager, Carlos Vega, Pablo Montero de Hijes +2
In the study of crystal nucleation via computer simulations, hard spheres are arguably the most extensively explored model system. Nonetheless, even in this simple model system, th…
Fast event-driven simulations for soft spheres: from dynamics to Laves phase nucleation
Antoine Castagnède, Laura Filion, Frank Smallenburg
Conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations struggle when simulating particles with steeply varying interaction potentials, due to the need to use a very short time step. Here…
A simple and accurate method to determine fluid-crystal phase boundaries from direct coexistence simulations
Frank Smallenburg, Giovanni Del Monte, Marjolein de Jager +1
One method for computationally determining phase boundaries is to explicitly simulate a direct coexistence between the two phases of interest. Although this approach works very wel…
