Do liquids exhibit local fivefold symmetry at interfaces?

Martin Heni1, Hartmut Löwen.   

Abstract

We calculate the layer-resolved local fivefold symmetry of liquids near interfaces using computer simulation of hard sphere fluids on structured substrates. In the first few adjacent liquid layers, the presence of a surface suppresses local icosahedral packing while the magnitude of local fivefold symmetry in the next layers depends on details of the particle-substrate interaction. For a strong particle-substrate attraction, the local fivefold symmetry in these layers is higher than in the bulk liquid.
