How to Compute Density Fluctuations at the Nanoscale.

J Chem Theory Comput

December 2024

Materials Science Department, Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba 263-8522, Japan.

The standard definition of particle number fluctuations based on point-like particles neglects the excluded volume effect. This leads to a large and systematic finite-size scaling and an unphysical surface term in the isothermal compressibility. We correct these errors by introducing a modified pair distribution function that takes account of the finite size of the particles.

Scalable Reshaping of Diamond Particles via Programmable Nanosculpting.

ACS Nano

December 2024

Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong 999077, China.

Diamond particles have many interesting properties and possible applications. However, producing diamond particles with well-defined shapes on a large scale is challenging because diamonds are chemically inert and extremely hard. Here, we show that air oxidation, a routine method for purifying diamonds, can be used to precisely shape diamond particles at scale.

We calculate the shear relaxation times in four important simple monatomic model fluids: Lennard-Jones, Yukawa, soft-sphere, and hard-sphere fluids. It is observed that in properly reduced units, the shear relaxation times exhibit quasiuniversal behavior when the density increases from the gaslike low values to the high-density regime near crystallization. They first decrease with density at low densities, reach minima at moderate densities, and then increase toward the freezing point.

To obtain materials or metamaterials with desired elastic properties that are tailor-made for a particular application, it is necessary to design a new material or composite (which may be cumbersome) or to modify the structure of existing materials in order to change their properties in the desired direction. The latter approach, although also not easy, seems favourable with respect to parameters like costs and time-to-market. Despite the fact that elastic properties are one of the oldest studied physical parameters of matter, our understanding of the processes at the microstructural level, that are behind these properties, is still far from being complete.
