Glassy dynamics and a growing structural length scale in supercooled nanoparticles
Weikai Qi, Shreya Tiwary, Richard K. Bowles
We use molecular dynamics simulation to study the relationship between structure and dynamics in supercooled binary Lennard--Jones nanoparticles over a range of particle sizes. The…

Crystal Growth Rates from Molecular Liquids: The Kinetics of Entropy Loss
Richard K Bowles, Peter Harrowell
It has been established empirically that the rate of addition of molecules to the crystal during crystal growth from the melt is proportional to exp(-|ΔS_fus|/R) where ΔS_fus is th…

An orientationally ordered helical fluid phase in a quasi-one-dimensional system of confined hard spheres
Mahdi Zaeifi Yamchi, Richard K. Bowles
We use a series of molecular dynamics simulations, and analytical theory, to demonstrate that a system of hard spheres confined to a narrow cylindrical channel exhibits a continuou…
