P5.62Wed 711:<strong>10</strong>-14:00Phase behaviour of polyhedral particlesAnjan P Gantapara 1 and Marjolein Dijkstra 11 Debye Institute for Nano Materials Science, Ornstein Lab, Princetonlaan 5 3584 CC,Utrecht, NetherlandsEntropy driven phase transitions have attracted huge interests in recent times. Here we presenta detailed study of the phase behaviour of anisotropic particles, namely: octahedra, truncatedocathedra, and rhombic dodecahedra. These polyhedral particles undergo an entropic phase transitionfrom fluid to crystal phase with increasing pressure. All the studies are made by employingMonte Carlo methods. The preliminary results show a rich phase diagram for these polyhedralparticles.62
