  • Title: Solid-solid transition of the size-polydisperse hard sphere system.
    Author: Yang M, Ma H.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2009 Jan 21; 130(3):031103. PubMed ID: 19173503.
    Abstract:
    The solid-solid coexistence of a polydisperse hard sphere system is studied by using the Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that for large enough polydispersity the solid-solid coexistence state is more stable than the single-phase solid. The two coexisting solids have different composition distributions but the same crystal structure. Moreover, there is evidence that the solid-solid transition terminates in a critical point as in the case of the fluid-fluid transition.
