The nucleation of crystals in liquids is one of nature's most ubiquitous phenomena, playing
an important role in areas such as climate change and the production of drugs. As the early …

Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

In many colloidal suspensions, the micrometer-sized particles behave like hard spheres, but
when non-adsorbing polymers are added to the solution a depletion attraction (of entropic …

Ongoing scientific interest is aimed at the properties and structure of electric double layers
(EDLs), which are crucial for capacitive energy storage, water treatment, and energy …

We present recent advances in phase-field crystal (PFC) modeling of crystal nucleation in
simple undercooled liquids, where dynamics is based on hydrodynamic density relaxation …

We introduce a versatile bottom-up derivation of a formal theoretical framework to describe
(passive) soft-matter systems out of equilibrium subject tofluctuations. We provide a unique …

We explore the growth of two-dimensional quasicrystals, ie, aperiodic structures that
possess long-range order, from two seeds at various distances and with different …

Over the last few decades, classical density-functional theory (DFT) and its dynamic
extensions (DDFTs) have become powerful tools in the study of colloidal fluids. Recently …

We explore the growth of colloidal quasicrystals with dodecagonal symmetry in two
dimensions by employing Brownian dynamics simulations. On the one hand, we study the …

We explore the behavior of two-dimensional patchy colloidal particles with 8 or 10
symmetrically arranged patches by employing Monte Carlo simulations. The particles …
