Emergence of Wulff-Crystals from atomistic systems on the FCC and HCP lattices

Marco Cicalese, Leonard Kreutz, Gian Paolo Leonardi

We consider a system of $N$ hard spheres sitting on the nodes of either the $\mathrm{FCC}$ or $\mathrm{HCP}$ lattice and interacting via a sticky-disk potential. As $N$ tends to in…
