Large-scale computational molecular models provide scientists a means to investigate the
effect of microscopic details on emergent mesoscopic behavior. Elucidating the relationship …

We review the random first-order transition theory of the glass transition, emphasizing the
experimental tests of the theory. Many distinct phenomena are quantitatively predicted or …

The optimized cluster expansion methods developed in the first article of this series (I) are
generalized to apply to molecular fluids. These methods make use of summations of ring …

A microscopic theory is developed which can describe many of the structural and
thermodynamic properties of infinitely dilute solutions of apolar solutes in liquid water. The …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

This article gives an overview of excess-entropy scaling, the 1977 discovery by Rosenfeld
that entropy determines properties of liquids like viscosity, diffusion constant, and heat …

The van der Waals picture focuses on the differing roles of the strong short-ranged repulsive
intermolecular forces and the longer ranged attractions in determining the structure and …

We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass
transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …

We propose an extension of the law of corresponding states that can be applied to systems—
such as colloidal suspensions—that have widely different ranges of attractive interactions …

This note supplements our recent publication'(I) on the role of repulsive forces in
determining the structure of simple liquids. The ideas presented in I are a basis for a rapidly …
