Abstract: | The freezing transition of two-dimensional colloid
system is studied by the density functional theory (DFT). The
liquid direct-pair correlation function (DPCF) is simulated by
molecular dynamics simulations. With the DPCF, the freezing
transition is determined using DFT with the Fourier components of
the density ρ K as the order parameters. The DFT
results are consistent with the simulation results if ρ
Ks of the lowest three shells of reciprocal lattice vector
(RLV) are used in the DFT calculation. The first order freezing
transition takes place at DPCF ρ0 C(ka) = 0.788 on the first
RLV shell. The laser induced freezing of colloid system is also
studied using the DFT. |
