Effective interactions in soft condensed matter physics

CN Likos - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
In this work, we present a review of recently achieved progress in the field of soft condensed
matter physics, and in particular on the study of the static properties of solutions or …

Hard-body models of bulk liquid crystals

L Mederos, E Velasco… - Journal of Physics …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Hard models for particle interactions have played a crucial role in the understanding of the
structure of condensed matter. In particular, they help to explain the formation of oriented …

Phase equilibria and glass transition in colloidal systems with short-ranged attractive interactions: application to protein crystallization

G Foffi, GD McCullagh, A Lawlor, E Zaccarelli… - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
We have studied a model of a complex fluid consisting of particles interacting through a hard-
core and short-range attractive potential of both Yukawa and square-well form. Using a …

Density functional theory and the asymptotic high density expansion of the free energy of classical solids and fluids

Y Rosenfeld, P Tarazona - Molecular Physics, 1998 - Taylor & Francis
On the basis of the fundamental-measure free energy functional for hard spheres and
thermodynamic perturbation theory, a unified analytical description of classical bulk solids …

Confirmation of anomalous dynamical arrest in attractive colloids: A molecular dynamics study

E Zaccarelli, G Foffi, KA Dawson, SV Buldyrev… - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
Previous theoretical simulation and experimental studies have indicated that particles with a
short-ranged attraction exhibit a range of dynamical arrest phenomena. These include very …

Phase behavior of short-range square-well model

DL Pagan, JD Gunton - The Journal of chemical physics, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
Various Monte Carlo techniques are used to determine the complete phase diagrams of the
square-well model for the attractive ranges λ= 1.15 and λ= 1.25⁠. The results for the latter …

Global equation of state of two-dimensional hard sphere systems

S Luding - Physical Review E, 2001 - APS
Hard sphere systems in two dimensions are examined for arbitrary density. Simulation
results are compared to the theoretical predictions for both the low-and the high-density limit …

Solid‐fluid equilibrium: Insights from simple molecular models

PA Monson, DA Kofke - Advances in Chemical Physics, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
One of the most remarkable phenomena in nature is the collective organization of atoms and
molecules into crystalline solids. That molecules arrange themselves in this fashion-with …

Solid-phase structures of the Dzugutov pair potential

J Roth, AR Denton - Physical Review E, 2000 - APS
In recent computer simulations of a simple monatomic system interacting via the Dzugutov
pair potential, freezing of the fluid into an equilibrium dodecagonal quasicrystal has been …

Stability of colloidal quasicrystals

AR Denton, H Löwen - Physical review letters, 1998 - APS
Freezing of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions and relative stabilities of crystals and
quasicrystals are studied using thermodynamic perturbation theory. Macroion interactions …
