Glass formation in a mixture of hard disks and hard ellipses
Wen-Sheng Xu, Xiaozheng Duan, Zhao-Yan Sun +1
We present an event-driven molecular dynamics study of glass formation in two-dimensional binary mixtures composed of hard disks and hard ellipses, where both types of particles ha…
Relaxation dynamics in a binary hard-ellipse liquid
Wen-Sheng Xu, Zhao-Yan Sun, Li-Jia An
Structural relaxation in binary hard spherical particles has been shown recently to exhibit a wealth of remarkable features when size disparity or mixture's composition is varied.…
Hard ellipses: Equation of state, structure and self-diffusion
Wen-Sheng Xu, Yan-Wei Li, Zhao-Yan Sun +1
We present an event-driven molecular dynamics study for hard ellipses and assess the effects of aspect ratio and area fraction on their physical properties. For state points in the…
Effect of attractions on correlation length scales in a glass-forming liquid
Wen-Sheng Xu, Zhao-Yan Sun, Li-Jia An
There is growing evidence that slow dynamics and dynamic heterogeneity possess structural signatures in glass-forming liquids. However, even in the weakly frustrated glass-forming…
Structure, compressibility factor and dynamics of highly size-asymmetric binary hard-disk liquids
Wen-Sheng Xu, Zhao-Yan Sun, Li-Jia An
By using event-driven molecular dynamics simulation, we investigate effects of varying the area fraction of the smaller component on structure, compressibility factor and dynamics…
Dynamics and correlation length scales of a glass-forming liquid in quiescent and sheared conditions
Wen-Sheng Xu, Zhao-Yan Sun, Li-Jia An
We numerically study dynamics and correlation length scales of a colloidal liquid in both quiescent and sheared conditions to further understand the origin of slow dynamics and dyn…
Diffusive redistribution of small spheres in crystallization of highly asymmetric binary hard-sphere mixtures
Wen-Sheng Xu, Zhao-Yan Sun, Li-Jia An
We report a molecular dynamics study of crystallization in highly asymmetric binary hard-sphere mixtures, in which the large spheres can form a crystal phase while the small ones r…
