How Real are Liquid Groundstates? Ultra-Fast Crystal Growth and the Susceptibility of Energy Minima in Liquids
Gang Sun, Peter Harrowell
We calculate the degree to which the final structure of the local groundstate in a liquid is a function of the strength of a perturbing potential applied during energy minimization…
The Role of Interfacial Inherent Structures in the Fast Crystal Growth from Molten Salts and Metals
Alexander Hawken, Gang Sun, Peter Harrowell
Molecular dynamics simulations of the temperature dependent crystal growth rates of the salts, NaCl and ZnS, from their melts are reported, along with those of a number of pure met…
The Mechanism of the Ultra-Fast Crystal Growth of Pure Metals from their Melts
Gang Sun, Jenny Xu, Peter Harrowell
A crystal of pure nickel grows from its melt at a rate that reaches 70 meters per second. This extraordinary growth rate has led to the suggestion that metallic crystals might prov…
The Structural Origin of Enhanced Dynamics at the Surface of a Glassy Alloy
Gang Sun, Shibu Saw, Ian Douglass +1
The enhancement of mobility at the surface of an amorphous alloy is studied using a combination of molecular dynamic simulations and normal mode analysis of the non-uniform distrib…
