Effects of patch size and number within a simple model of patchy colloids
Achille Giacometti, Fred Lado, Julio Largo +2
We report on a computer simulation and integral equation study of a simple model of patchy spheres, each of whose surfaces is decorated with two opposite attractive caps, as a func…
Phase diagram and structural properties of a simple model for one-patch particles
Achille Giacometti, Fred Lado, Julio Largo +2
We study the thermodynamic and structural properties of a simple, one-patch fluid model using the reference hypernetted-chain (RHNC) integral equation and specialized Monte Carlo s…
Thermodynamic Properties of Model Solids with Short-ranged Potentials from Monte Carlo Simulations and Perturbation Theory
A. Diez, J. Largo, J. R. Solana
Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to determine the excess energy and the equation of state of fcc solids with Sutherland potentials for wide ranges of temperatures, densi…
Effective non-additive pair potential for lock-and-key interacting particles: the role of the limited valence
Julio Largo, Piero Tartaglia, Francesco Sciortino
Theoretical studies of self-assembly processes and condensed phases in colloidal systems are often based on effective inter-particle potentials. Here we show that developing an eff…
Phase diagram of patchy colloids: towards empty liquids
Emanuela Bianchi, Julio Largo, Piero Tartaglia +2
We report theoretical and numerical evaluations of the phase diagram for patchy colloidal particles of new generation. We show that the reduction of the number of bonded nearest ne…
Influence of polydispersity on the critical parameters of an effective potential model for asymmetric hard sphere mixtures
Julio Largo, Nigel B. Wilding
We report a Monte Carlo simulation study of the properties of highly asymmetric binary hard sphere mixtures. This system is treated within an effective fluid approximation in which…
