TETRATIC PHASE IN THE PLANAR HARD SQUARE SYSTEM?
System of hard squares in two dimensions (2D) has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations indicate that the isotropic fluid phase in this system does not freeze into a 2D ‘crystalline’ phase (of square lattice and quasi-long-range translational order) but transforms i ...
Free Volume Approximation and Equation of State for the fcc Phase of Polydisperse Hard Spheres
Monte Carlo simulations of the fcc phase of polydisperse hard spheres near close packing are reported. An experimental equation of state (EoS) is determined numerically in the NpT ensemble with variable shape of the periodic box. The close packing volume extrapolated from the obtained data shows ...
