硬椭球中的固-固相变

Solid-solid phase transition in hard ellipsoids

M. Radu, P. Pfleiderer, T. Schilling

摘要:

我们提出了一个计算机模拟研究的结晶相硬椭球的旋转。先前的研究[Phys. Rev. E,\textbf{75},020402(2007)]表明,对于纵横比$a/b\ge 3$,先前提出的拉伸fcc相[Mol.物理、\textbf{55},1171(1985)]相对于每个晶胞具有两个不同取向的椭球的简单单斜相(SM 2)是不稳定的。为了研究这些结晶相在不同的纵横比和密度的函数的稳定性,我们计算了它们的自由能的热力学积分。集成路径采用扩展集成方法进行采样,其中权重由Wang-Landau算法进行调整。我们发现,对于纵横比$a/b\ge 2.0$的SM 2结构是更稳定的比拉伸面心立方结构的所有密度以上的固体-石墨共存。在$a/b=1.55$和$a/b=2.0$之间,我们的计算揭示了固-固相变。

英文摘要:

We present a computer simulation study of the crystalline phases of hard ellipsoids of revolution. A previous study [Phys. Rev. E, \textbf{75}, 020402 (2007)] showed that for aspect ratios $a/b\ge 3$ the previously suggested stretched-fcc phase [Mol. Phys., \textbf{55}, 1171 (1985)] is unstable with respect to a simple monoclinic phase with two ellipsoids of different orientations per unit cell (SM2). In order to study the stability of these crystalline phases at different aspect ratios and as a function of density we have calculated their free energies by thermodynamic integration. The integration path was sampled by an expanded ensemble method in which the weights were adjusted by the Wang-Landau algorithm. We show that for aspect ratios $a/b\ge 2.0$ the SM2 structure is more stable than the stretched-fcc structure for all densities above solid-nematic coexistence. Between $a/b=1.55$ and $a/b=2.0$ our calculations reveal a solid-solid phase transition.
