硬球玻璃的析晶

Crystallization of hard-sphere glasses

摘要:

我们用分子动力学研究了在硬球中停滞和结晶之间的相互作用。对于体积分数($0.54 \leq phi \leq 0.63$)和多分散性($0 \leq s \leq 0.085$)平面中的状态点,我们描绘了自发结晶的状态。对于非结晶(或预结晶)样品,我们发现等扩散线与理想的玻璃化转变在$ϕ_g \approx 0.585$,独立的$s$。尽管如此,对于$s<0.05$,结晶发生在$ϕ> ϕ_g$。这发生在系统老化的时间尺度上,并且未达到均方位移的扩散状态;根据这些标准,系统是玻璃。因此,与胶体文献中的普遍假设相反,在大块非晶态中发生自发结晶并不能证明这种状态是遍历流体而不是玻璃。

英文摘要:

We study by molecular dynamics the interplay between arrest and crystallization in hard spheres. For state points in the plane of volume fraction ($0.54 \leq phi \leq 0.63$) and polydispersity ($0 \leq s \leq 0.085$), we delineate states that spontaneously crystallize from those that do not. For noncrystallizing (or precrystallization) samples we find isodiffusivity lines consistent with an ideal glass transition at $ϕ_g \approx 0.585$, independent of $s$. Despite this, for $s<0.05$, crystallization occurs at $ϕ> ϕ_g$. This happens on time scales for which the system is aging, and a diffusive regime in the mean square displacement is not reached; by those criteria, the system is a glass. Hence, contrary to a widespread assumption in the colloid literature, the occurrence of spontaneous crystallization within a bulk amorphous state does not prove that this state was an ergodic fluid rather than a glass.
