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…
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…
In search of a precursor for crystal nucleation of hard and charged colloids
Marjolein de Jager, Frank Smallenburg, Laura Filion
The interplay between crystal nucleation and the structure of the metastable fluid has been a topic of significant debate over recent years. In particular, it has been suggested th…
Crystal Nucleation of Highly-Screened Charged Colloids
Marjolein de Jager, Laura Filion
We study the nucleation of nearly-hard charged colloidal particles. We use Monte Carlo simulations in combination with free-energy calculations to accurately predict the phase diag…
