Crystal structures and freezing of dipolar fluids
B. Groh, S. Dietrich
We investigate the crystal structure of classical systems of spherical particles with an embedded point dipole at T=0. The ferroelectric ground state energy is calculated using gen…
Hard-sphere solids near close packing: Testing theories for crystallization
Benito Groh, Bela Mulder
The freezing transition of hard spheres has been well described by various versions of density-functional theory (DFT). These theories should possess the close-packed crystal as a…
Vesicles in solutions of hard rods
B. Groh
The surface free energy of ideal hard rods near curved hard surfaces is determined to second order in curvature for surfaces of general shape. In accordance with previous results f…
Fluids of rod-like particles near curved surfaces
B. Groh, S. Dietrich
We study fluids of hard rods in the vicinity of hard spherical and cylindrical surfaces at densities below the isotropic-nematic transition. The Onsager second virial approximation…
Inhomogeneous magnetization in dipolar ferromagnetic liquids
B. Groh, S. Dietrich
At high densities fluids of strongly dipolar spherical particles exhibit spontaneous long-ranged orientational order. Typically, due to demagnetization effects induced by the long…
