Hexatic phase and cluster crystals of two-dimensional GEM4 spheres
Santi Prestipino, Franz Saija
Two-dimensional crystals of classical particles are very peculiar in that melting may occur in two steps, in a continuous fashion, via an intermediate hexatic fluid phase exhibitin…
Cluster phases of penetrable rods on a line
S. Prestipino
Phase transitions are uncommon among homogenous one-dimensional fluids of classical particles owing to a general non-existence result due to van Hove. A way to circumvent van Hove'…
Phase behavior of a double-Gaussian fluid displaying water-like features
C. Speranza, S. Prestipino, G. Malescio +1
Pair potentials that are bounded at the origin provide an accurate description of the effective interaction for many systems of dissolved soft macromolecules (e.g., flexible dendri…
Twofold reentrant melting in a double-Gaussian fluid
S. Prestipino, C. Speranza, G. Malescio +1
Isotropic pair potentials that are bounded at the origin have been proposed from time to time as models of the effective interaction between macromolecules of interest in the chemi…
Shape and area fluctuation effects on nucleation theory
Santi Prestipino, Alessandro Laio, Erio Tosatti
In standard nucleation theory, the nucleation process is characterized by computing , the reversible work required to form a cluster of volume of the stable phase inside…
