Isotropic-nematic interfacial tension of hard and soft rods: application of advanced grand canonical biased sampling techniques
R. L. C. Vink, S. Wolfsheimer, T. Schilling
Coexistence between the isotropic and the nematic phase in suspensions of rods is studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations with a bias on the nematic order parameter.…
Accurate description of bulk and interfacial properties in colloid-polymer mixtures
R. L. C. Vink, A. Jusufi, J. Dzubiella +1
Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of a phase-separating colloid-polymer mixture are performed and compared to recent experiments. The approach is based on effective interaction p…
Interfacial tension of the isotropic--nematic interface in suspensions of soft spherocylinders
R. L. C. Vink, T. Schilling
The isotropic to nematic transition in a system of soft spherocylinders is studied by means of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The probability distribution of the particle…
Simulation and theory of fluid demixing and interfacial tension of mixtures of colloids and non-ideal polymers
R. L. C. Vink, M. Schmidt
An extension of the Asakura-Oosawa-Vrij model of hard sphere colloids and non-adsorbing polymers, that takes polymer non-ideality into account through a repulsive stepfunction pair…
Capillary Waves in a Colloid-Polymer Interface
R. L. C. Vink, J. Horbach, K. Binder
The structure and the statistical fluctuations of interfaces between coexisting phases in the Asakura-Oosawa (AO) model for a colloid--polymer mixture are analyzed by extensive Mon…
Critical phenomena in colloid-polymer mixtures: interfacial tension, order parameter, susceptibility and coexistence diameter
R. L. C. Vink, J. Horbach, K. Binder
The critical behavior of a model colloid-polymer mixture, the so-called AO model, is studied using computer simulations and finite size scaling techniques. Investigated are the int…
