Phase behavior of colloidal superballs: shape interpolation from spheres to cubes
The phase behavior of hard superballs is examined using molecular dynamics within a deformable periodic simulation box. A superball's interior is defined by the inequality |x|(2q)+|y|(2q)+|z|(2q)≤1 , which provides a versatile family of convex particles (q≥0.5) with cubelike and octahedronlike...

| Zusammenfassung: | The phase behavior of hard superballs is examined using molecular dynamics within a deformable periodic simulation box. A superball's interior is defined by the inequality |x|(2q)+|y|(2q)+|z|(2q)≤1 , which provides a versatile family of convex particles (q≥0.5) with cubelike and octahedronlike shapes as well as concave particles (q |
