Crystal nucleation of colloidal hard dumbbells
Ran Ni, Marjolein Dijkstra
Using computer simulations we investigate the homogeneous crystal nucleation in suspensions of colloidal hard dumbbells. The free energy barriers are determined by Monte Carlo simu…

Glassy dynamics, spinodal fluctuations, and the kinetic limit of hard-rod nucleation
Ran Ni, Simone Belli, Rene van Roij +1
Using simulations we identify three dynamic regimes in supersaturated isotropic fluid states of short hard rods: (i) for moderate supersaturations we observe nucleation of multi-la…
