The phase diagram of two-dimensional continuous particle systems is studied using Event-Chain Monte Carlo. For soft disks with repulsive power-law interactions $\propto r^{-n}$ with $n \gtrsim 6$, the recently established hard-disk melting…
We numerically calculate the configurational entropy S_conf of a binary mixture of hard spheres, by using a perturbed Hamiltonian method trapping the system inside a given state, which requires less assumptions than the previous methods…
Ji et al. report performing X-ray diffraction on hydrogen compressed to over 250 GPa (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1565-9). It is a remarkable technical achievement. However, the experimental data presented and discussed in the paper…
Hard spheres are an important benchmark of our understanding of natural and synthetic systems. In this work, colloidal experiments and Monte Carlo simulations examine the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium assembly of hard spheres of…
Media composed of colliding hard disks (2D) or hard spheres (3D) serve as good approximations for the collective hydrodynamic description of gases, liquids and granular media. In the present study, the compressible hydrodynamics and shock…
The pressure and the viscosity in two-dimensional sheared granular assemblies are investigated numerically. The behavior of both pressure and viscosity is smoothly changing qualitatively when starting from a mono-disperse hard-disk system…
The smooth emergence of shear elasticity is an hallmark of the liquid to glass transition. In a liquid, viscous stresses arise from local structural rearrangements. In the solid, Eshelby has shown that stresses around an inclusion decay as…
We consider the stationary state of a fluid comprised of inelastic hard spheres or disks under the influence of a random, momentum-conserving external force. Starting from the microscopic description of the dynamics, we derive a nonlinear…
We find that both continuous and discontinuous hexatic-liquid transitions can happen in the melting of two-dimensional solids of soft-core disks. For three typical model systems, Hertzian, harmonic, and Gaussian-core models, we observe the…
Using a fundamental measure density functional theory we investigate both bulk and inhomogeneous systems of the binary non-additive hard sphere model. For sufficiently large (positive) non-additivity the mixture phase separates into two…
For over 30 years, mode-coupling theory (MCT) has been the de facto theoretic description of dense fluids and the liquid-glass transition. MCT, however, is limited by its ad hoc construction and lacks a mechanism to institute corrections.…
We present a first step toward a microscopic theory for the glass transition in systems with trivial static correlations. As an example we have chosen N infinitely thin hard rods with length L, fixed with their centers on a periodic lattice…
Hyperuniformity, whereby the static structure factor (or density correlator) obeys $S(q)\sim q^{\varsigma}$ with $\varsigma> 0$, emerges at criticality in systems having multiple absorbing states, such as periodically sheared suspensions.…
We present molecular dynamics simulations of the motion of a single rigid rod in a disordered static 2d-array of disk-like obstacles. Two different configurations have been used for the latter: A completely random one, and which thus has an…
When liquids are classified using Tg -scaled Arrhenius plots of relaxation times (or relative rates of entropy increase above Tg) across a "strong-fragile" spectrum of behaviors, the "strong" liquids have always appeared rather…
To understand the pressure-induced changes in the electronic structure and the electron-phonon interaction in yttrium, we have studied hexagonal close-packed (hcp) yttrium, stable at ambient pressure and double hexagonal close-packed (dhcp)…
We study the one-dimensional hard-core Bose-Hubbard model with three-body interactions. In previous work[1], the two-thirds filling solid with both bond-wave order (BOW) and charge-density wave order (CDW) is found and it undergoes a second…
We use a series of molecular dynamics simulations, and analytical theory, to demonstrate that a system of hard spheres confined to a narrow cylindrical channel exhibits a continuous phase transition from an isotropic fluid at low densities,…
We report large-scale computer simulations of the hard-disk system at high densities in the region of the melting transition. Our simulations reproduce the equation of state, previously obtained using the event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm,…
We present simulations of the motion of a single rigid rod in a disordered static 2d-array of disk-like obstacles. The rotational, $D_{\rm R}$, and center-of-mass translational, $D_{\rm CM}$, diffusion constants are calculated for a wide…
