Monte Carlo simulation of abnormal grain growth in two dimensions
Rene Messina, Michele Soucail, Ladislas Kubin
Abnormal grain growth in the presence of second phase particles is investigated with the help of a two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation. An aggregate of equiaxed grains is consid…
Effect of colloidal charge discretization in the primitive model
Rene Messina, Christian Holm, Kurt Kremer
The effect of fixed discrete colloidal charges in the primitive model is investigated for spherical macroions. Instead of considering a central bare charge, as it is traditionally…
Ground state of two unlike charged colloids: An analogy with ionic bonding
Rene Messina, Christian Holm, Kurt Kremer
In this letter, we study the ground state of two spherical macroions of identical radius, but asymmetric bare charge ((Q_{A}>Q_{B})). Electroneutrality of the system is insured by…
Strong Attraction between Charged Spheres due to Metastable Ionized States
Rene Messina, Christian Holm, Kurt Kremer
We report a mechanism which can lead to long range attractions between like-charged spherical macroions, stemming from the existence of metastable ionized states. We show that the…
