3 Motivation Event Driven Molecular Dynamics Time Driven MD simulation vs. Event Driven MD simulation V(r) = { if r < σ 0 if r σ free flight between collisions NVE ensemble. τ = σ2 D sets the timescale B. J. Alder and T. E. Wainwright, J. Chem. Phys., 27, 1208 (1957).
4 Phasediagram for Hard Spheres Md. Rintoul and S. Torquato, PRL 77, 20, (1996).
5 Definition of the order parameter Observables for the Local Bond Ordering: In 3d: q 6m (i) := 1 n(i) Y 6m ( r ij ),r ij < 1.4 n(i) j=1 where Y 6m ( r ij ) are the spherical harmonics (with l=6). P. J. Steinhardt, D. R. Nelson, and M. Ronchetti. Phys. Rev. B, 28(2) (1983)
6 Detecting emerging crystallites If particle i and n b neighbouring particle j satisfy q 6 (i) q 6 (j) > 0.7 Crystalline particles (colorcoded green ), n b > 10. Low symmetry cluster (LSC)(colorcoded light brown ), n b > 5.
7 Nucleation rates MD and MC simulations produce rates match the experimental results T. Schilling, S. Dorosz et al. JPCM, 23, 19, (2011).
8 Precursor nucleation Effective two step process. Precursor mediated nucleation T. Schilling, S. Dorosz et al. JPCM, 23, 19, (2011).
9 Motivation Will the substrate induce different nucleation pathways? Where does the nucleation happen? What are the consequences of the mismatch between substrate and equilibrium crystal lattice constant? What is the crystal structure of the nucleus? How does the substrate change the nucleation rate?
