The equation of state of hard spheres and the approach to random closest packing

Y Song, RM Stratt, EA Mason - The Journal of chemical physics, 1988 - pubs.aip.org
Data on the internal pressure of hard‐sphere and hard‐disk fluids have been available for
some time from computer simulations, even at densities above the freezing density. These …

Path integral formulation of dynamical density functional equation for dense fluids

K Kawasaki, S Miyazima - Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter, 1997 - Springer

Heterogeneities in supercooled liquids: A density-functional study

C Kaur, SP Das - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS

density-functional theory (DFT). This free energy minimum, located through the proper …

Aging, jamming, and the limits of stability of amorphous solids

V Lubchenko, PG Wolynes - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2017 - ACS Publications
Apart from not having crystallized, supercooled liquids can be considered as being properly
equilibrated and thus can be described by a few thermodynamic control variables. In …

Self-learning metabasin escape algorithm for supercooled liquids

P Cao, M Li, RJ Heugle, HS Park, X Lin - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2012 - APS
A generic history-penalized metabasin escape algorithm that contains no predetermined
