Colloidal Janus spheres in water (one hemisphere attractive and the other repulsive)
assemble into two-dimensional hexagonal crystals with orientational order controlled by …

One of the major features of glass forming ultraviscous liquids is the decoupling between
translational and orientational dynamics. This paper presents studies of this phenomenon in …

Dielectric properties are evaluated by means of molecular dynamics simulations on two
model systems made up of dipolar molecules. One of them mimics methanol, whereas the …

Rotational diffusion has been investigated in methanol by means of molecular dynamics
simulations at several temperatures, approaching the supercooled state. Angular velocity …

Thermodynamic properties for a system composed of dipolar molecules are computed. Free
energy is evaluated by means of the thermodynamic integration technique, and it is also …

Because the geodesic pathways that a liquid follows through its potential energy landscape
govern its slow, diffusive motion, we suggest that these pathways are logical candidates for …

Using molecular dynamics we studied the role of the anisotropy on the phase boundary of
250 dimeric particles interacting by a core-softened potential. This study led us to an …

Free energy and entropy have been evaluated for a supercooled dipolar model liquid, and
their connections with structure and dynamics on the supercooled state have been explored …

Orientational and translational decouplings in ultraviscous glass forming glycerol and its
nanocolloid based on Ag nanoparticles, as the function of temperature and pressure up to …

One of the major features of glass forming ultraviscous liquids is the decoupling between
translational and orientational dynamics. This paper presents studies of this phenomenon in …
