“Binary Mixtures of Charged Colloids: a Potential Route to Synthesize Disordered Hyperuniform Materials” is published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Disordered hyperuniform materials are a new, exotic class of amorphous matter that exhibits crystal-like behavior, in the sense that volume-fraction fluctuations are suppressed at large length scales, and yet they are isotropic and do not display diffraction Bragg peaks. These materials are endowed with novel … Continue Reading “Binary Mixtures of Charged Colloids: a Potential Route to Synthesize Disordered Hyperuniform Materials” is published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics
“Searching for Crystal-ice Domains in Amorphous Ices” is published in Physical Review Materials Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here We employ classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the molecular-level structure of water during the isothermal compression of hexagonal ice (Ih) and low-density amorphous (LDA) ice at low temperatures. In both cases, the system transforms to high-density amorphous ice (HDA) via a first-order-like phase transition. We employ a sensitive local … Continue Reading “Searching for Crystal-ice Domains in Amorphous Ices” is published in Physical Review Materials
