@article{ISI:000233826100075, abstract = {The phase diagram of a polydisperse hard-sphere system is examined by numerical minimization of a discretized form of the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff free-energy functional. Crystalline and glassy local minima of the free energy are located and the phase diagram in the density-polydispersity plane is mapped out by comparing the free energies of different local minima. The crystalline phase disappears and the glass becomes the equilibrium phase beyond a ``terminal″ value of the polydispersity. A crystal-to-glass transition is also observed as the density is increased at high polydispersity. The phase diagram obtained in our study is qualitatively similar to that of hard spheres in a quenched random potential.}, article-number = {248301}, author = {Chaudhuri, P and Karmakar, S and Dasgupta, C and Krishnamurthy, HR and Sood, AK}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.248301}, eissn = {1079-7114}, issn = {0031-9007}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, month = {DEC 9}, number = {24}, orcid-numbers = {Dasgupta, Chandan/0000-0002-0302-1881 Karmakar, Smarajit/0000-0002-5653-6328}, researcherid-numbers = {Chaudhuri, Pinaki/A-2673-2009 }, times-cited = {41}, title = {Equilibrium glassy phase in a polydisperse hard-sphere system}, unique-id = {ISI:000233826100075}, volume = {95}, year = {2005} }
