Comment on “The elusive fluid‐and‐crystal coexistence state in simulations of monodisperse, hard‐sphere colloids”

Abstract

Abstract In a recent article [1], Wang et al. discuss the absence of simulations of monodisperse hard spheres in which a metastable fluid spontaneously nucleates into a stable fluid‐crystal coexistence. Here, we show that such a simulation can be readily accomplished with standard simulation methods.
