The configurational entropy of colloidal particles in a confined space
Duanduan Wan
Abstract:We calculate the configurational entropy of colloidal particles in a confined geometry interacting as hard disks using Monte Carlo integration method. In particular, we consider systems with three kinds of boundary conditions: hard, periodic and spherical. For small to moderate packing fraction φ values, we find the entropies per particle for systems with the periodic and spherical boundary conditions tend to reach a same value with the increase of the particle number N , while that for the system with the har… Show more
