Monte Carlo simulations of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in Ising/lattice gas
models are reviewed with an emphasis on the general insight gained on the mechanisms by …

Combining three numerical methods (forward flux sampling, seeding of droplets, and finite-
size droplets), we probe the crystallization of hard spheres over the full range from close to …

ABSTRACT A recently developed method where one analyses the finite size effects
associated with liquid–solid phase equilibria including vapour–crystal coexistence is briefly …

Colloidal systems possess unique features to investigate the governing principles behind
liquid-to-solid transitions. The phase diagram and crystallization landscape of colloidal …

A general class of nonadditive sticky-hard-sphere binary mixtures, where small and large
spheres represent the solvent and the solute, respectively, is introduced. The solute-solute …

Monte Carlo simulations of crystal nuclei coexisting with the fluid phase in thermal
equilibrium in finite volumes are presented and analyzed, for fluid densities from dense …

This study presents a method of external fields to determine thermodynamic characteristics
of rigid crystalline phases in the framework of a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm. The method is …

Orientational ordering is a well-known feature of polyatomic molecules in contact layers on
solid surfaces. The majority of reported results refer to systems significantly depended on …

The problem of scattering by spherically asymmetric potentials is considered where angular
momentum not only ceases to be a conserved quantity but is also not a convenient basis for …

We investigate a density functional for the Asakura–Oosawa model of colloid-polymer
mixtures, describing both fluid and crystal phases. It is derived by linearizing the two …
