Theoretical calculations of phase diagrams and self-assembly in patchy colloids
Achille Giacometti, Flavio Romano, Francesco Sciortino
Review paper. Chapter 6 in Janus Particles Synthesis, Self-Assembly, and Applications pages 108-137, Edited by Steve Granick and Shan Jiang (RCS Publishing 2012) http://www.rsc.org…
Free energy surface of ST2 water near the liquid-liquid phase transition
Peter H. Poole, Richard K. Bowles, Ivan Saika-Voivod +1
We carry out umbrella sampling Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the free energy surface of the ST2 model of water as a function two order parameters, the density and a bond-orie…
Generalized Fluctuation-Dissipation Relation and Effective Temperature upon Heating a Deeply Supercooled Liquid
Nicoletta Gnan, Claudio Maggi, Giorgio Parisi +1
We show that a generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation applies upon instantaneously increasing the temperature of a deeply supercooled liquid. This has the same two-step shape…
Properties of patchy colloidal particles close to a surface: a Monte Carlo and density functional study
Nicoletta Gnan, Daniel de las Heras, José Maria Tavares +2
We investigate the behavior of a patchy particle model close to a hard-wall via Monte Carlo simulation and density functional theory (DFT). Two DFT approaches, based on the homogen…
Tuning effective interactions close to the critical point in colloidal suspensions
Nicoletta Gnan, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Francesco Sciortino
We report a numerical investigation of two colloids immersed in a critical solvent, with the aim of quantifying the effective colloid-colloid interaction potential. By turning on a…
Critical Casimir forces and colloidal aggregation: A numerical study
Nicoletta Gnan, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Piero Tartaglia +1
We present a numerical study of the effective potential between two hard-sphere colloids dispersed in a solvent of interacting particles, for several values of tem…
