Dynamical solid-liquid transition through oscillatory shear
Eric Brillaux, Francesco Turci
Starting from an ideal crystalline state, we numerically study a nonequilibrium dynamical order- disorder transition promoted by the application of a periodic shearing protocol at…
Coupling of sedimentation and liquid structure: influence on hard sphere nucleation
Nicholas Wood, John Russo, Francesco Turci +1
The discrepancy in nucleation rate densities between simulated and experimental hard spheres remains staggering and unexplained. Suggestively, more strongly sedimenting colloidal s…
Morphometric approach to many-body correlations in hard spheres
Joshua F. Robinson, Francesco Turci, Roland Roth +1
We model the thermodynamics of local structures within the hard sphere liquid at arbitrary volume fractions through the \textit{morphometric} calculation of -body correlations.…
Devitrification of the Kob-Andersen glass former: Competition with the locally favored structure
Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall, Thomas Speck
Supercooled liquids are kinetically trapped materials in which the transition to a thermodynamically more stable state with long-range order is strongly suppressed. To assess the g…
Structural-dynamical transition in the Wahnström mixture
Francesco Turci, Thomas Speck, C. Patrick Royall
In trajectory space, dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids correspond to the emergence of a dynamical phase transition between an active phase poor in local structure…
Experimental Determination of Configurational Entropy in a Two-Dimensional Liquid under Random Pinning
Ian Williams, Francesco Turci, James E. Hallett +4
A quasi two-dimensional colloidal suspension is studied under the influence of immobilisation (pinning) of a random fraction of its particles. We introduce a novel experimental met…
