再论硬椭球的phase diagram
Revisiting the phase diagram of hard ellipsoids
摘要:
在这项工作中,著名的Frenkel-Mulder相图的硬椭球的革命[分子。55,1171(1985)]的副本交换蒙特卡罗模拟的方式重新访问。该方法提供了良好的采样稠密系统,因此,固相可以访问,而不需要强加一个给定的结构。在高密度下,我们发现了塑性固体和fcc状晶体的半球形椭球体(prolates和oblates),和SM 2结构[物理评论E 75,020402(2007)]的x:1-prolates和1:x-oblates与x>=3。修正后的流体-晶体和各向同性-晶体的转变与Frenkel-Mulder图中的结果相当一致。一个有趣的结果是,对于小的系统尺寸(100个粒子),我们得到了2:1和1.5:1-无跃迁的长形状态方程,而在大密度下则发展了某种秩序。此外,对称扁圆的情况下也不愿意形成有序相。
英文摘要:
In this work the well-known Frenkel-Mulder phase diagram of hard ellipsoids of revolution [Mol. Phys. 55, 1171 (1985)] is revisited by means of replica exchange Monte Carlo simulations. The method provides good sampling of dense systems and so, solid phases can be accessed without the need of imposing a given structure. At high densities, we found plastic solids and fcc-like crystals for semi-spherical ellipsoids (prolates and oblates), and SM2 structures [Phys. Rev. E 75, 020402 (2007)] for x:1-prolates and 1:x-oblates with x>=3. The revised fluid-crystal and isotropic-nematic transitions reasonably agree with those presented in the Frenkel-Mulder diagram. An interesting result is that, for small system sizes (100 particles), we obtained 2:1 and 1.5:1-prolate equations of state without transitions, while some order is developed at large densities. Furthermore, the symmetric oblate cases are also reluctant to form ordered phases.
