Phasonic Diffusion and Self-confinement of Decagonal Quasicrystals in Hyperspace
Johannes Hielscher, Miriam Martinsons, Michael Schmiedeberg +1
We introduce a novel simulation method that is designed to explore fluctuations of the phasonic degrees of freedom in decagonal colloidal quasicrystals. Specifically, we attain and…
Event-chain Monte Carlo simulations of the liquid to solid transition of two-dimensional decagonal colloidal quasicrystals
M. Martinsons, J. Hielscher, S. C. Kapfer +1
In event-chain Monte Carlo simulations we model colloidal particles in two dimensions that interact according to an isotropic short-ranged pair potential which supports the two typ…
A kinetic-Monte Carlo perspective on active matter
Juliane U. Klamser, Sebastian C. Kapfer, Werner Krauth
We study non-equilibrium phases for interacting two-dimensional self-propelled particles with isotropic pair-wise interactions using a persistent kinetic Monte Carlo (MC) approach.…
Non-equilibrium steady states, coexistence and criticality in driven quasi-two-dimensional granular matter
Thomas Schindler, Sebastian C. Kapfer
Nonequilibrium steady states of vibrated inelastic frictionless spheres are investigated in quasi-two-dimensional confinement via molecular dynamics simulations. The phase diagram…
Cuddling Ellipsoids: Densest local structures of uniaxial ellipsoids
Fabian M. Schaller, Robert F. B. Weigel, Sebastian C. Kapfer
Connecting the collective behavior of disordered systems with local structure on the particle scale is an important challenge, for example in granular and glassy systems. Compoundi…
Non-universal Voronoi cell shapes in amorphous ellipsoid packings
Fabian M. Schaller, Sebastian C. Kapfer, James E. Hilton +8
In particulate systems with short-range interactions, such as granular matter or simple fluids, local structure plays a pivotal role in determining the macroscopic physical propert…
