Efficient method for predicting crystal structures at finite temperature: variable box shape simulations.
Laura Filion,Matthieu Marechal,Bas van Oorschot,Daniël M. Pelt,Frank Smallenburg,Marjolein Dijkstra +5 more
TL;DR: An efficient and robust method based on Monte Carlo simulations for predicting crystal structures at finite temperature for hard, attractive, and anisotropic interactions, and predicts new crystal structures for hard asymmetric dumbbell particles, bowl-like particles and hard oblate cylinders.
Crystal-structure prediction via the floppy-box Monte Carlo algorithm: method and application to hard (non)convex particles.
TL;DR: The way to set up the floppy-box Monte Carlo (FBMC) method to predict crystal-structure candidates for colloidal particles is described and the results for the dense crystal structures predicted using the FBMC method for 159 (non)convex faceted particles are presented.
Packing Confined Hard Spheres Denser with Adaptive Prism Phases
Erdal C. Oğuz,Matthieu Marechal,Fernando Ramiro-Manzano,I. Rodriguez,I. Rodriguez,René Messina,René Messina,Francisco Meseguer,Francisco Meseguer,Hartmut Löwen +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that hard spheres confined between two parallel hard plates pack denser with periodic adaptive prismatic structures which are composed of alternating prisms of spheres.
Freezing of parallel hard cubes with rounded edges.
TL;DR: In this paper, the freezing transition in a classical three-dimensional system of hard cubes with fixed, equal orientations is studied by computer simulation and fundamental-measure density functional theory, and the equilibrium phase diagram of rounded parallel hard cubes is computed as a function of their volume fraction and the rounding parameter s.
Density functional theory for hard polyhedra.
Matthieu Marechal,Hartmut Löwen +1 more
TL;DR: A classical density functional for hard polyhedra and their mixtures is developed and applied to inhomogeneous fluids of Platonic solids near a hard wall and can be verified in real-space experiments on polyhedral colloids.
