Two-dimensional colloidal fluids exhibiting pattern formation
Blesson Chacko, Christopher Chalmers, Andrew J. Archer
Fluids with competing short range attraction and long range repulsive interactions between the particles can exhibit a variety of microphase separated structures. We develop a latt…
Soft-core particles freezing to form a quasicrystal and a crystal-liquid phase
A. J. Archer, A. M. Rucklidge, E. Knobloch
Systems of soft-core particles interacting via a two-scale potential are studied. The potential is responsible for peaks in the structure factor of the liquid state at two differen…
Generation of defects and disorder from deeply quenching a liquid to form a solid
A. J. Archer, M. C. Walters, U. Thiele +1
We show how deeply quenching a liquid to temperatures where it is linearly unstable and the crystal is the equilibrium phase often produces crystalline structures with defects and…
Liquid drops on a surface: using density functional theory to calculate the binding potential and drop profiles and comparing with results from mesoscopic modelling
Adam P. Hughes, Uwe Thiele, Andrew J. Archer
The contribution to the free energy for a film of liquid of thickness on a solid surface, due to the interactions between the solid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces is given by…
