Formation of a Columnar Liquid Crystal in a Simple One-Component System of Particles
Alfredo Metere, Tomas Oppelstrup, Sten Sarman +1
We report a molecular dynamics simulation demonstrating that a columnar liquid crystal, commonly formed by disc-shaped molecules, can be formed by identical particles interacting v…
Formation of the Smectic-B Crystal from a Simple Monatomic Liquid
A. Metere, T. Oppelstrup, S. Sarman +2
We report a molecular dynamics simulation demonstrating that the Smectic B crystalline phase (Cr-B), commonly observed in mesogenic systems of anisotropic molecules, can be formed…
A simple monatomic ideal glass former: the glass transition by a first-order phase transition above the melting point
Måns Elenius, Tomas Oppelstrup, Mikhail Dzugutov
A liquid can form under cooling a glassy state either as a result of a continuous slowing down or by a first order polyamorphous phase transition. The second scenario has so far al…
Anomalous diffusion in supercooled liquids: a long-range localisation in particle trajectories
Tomas Oppelstrup, Mikhail Dzugutov
A statistical analysis of the geometries of particle trajectories in the supercooled liquid state is reported. We examine two structurally different fragile glass-forming liquids s…
Universality of liquid dynamics
Tomas Oppelstrup, Babak Sadigh, Srikanth Sastry +1
We investigate the origin of the Stokes-Einstein relation in liquids. The hard-sphere dynamics is analyzed using a new measure of structural relaxation - the minimum Euclidean dist…
