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 …

The last decade has brought a number of new results related to the thermodynamic
fundamentals of surface science. Increasing the generality and rigor of known methods and …

Active colloids constitute a novel class of materials composed of colloidal-scale particles
locally converting chemical energy into motility, mimicking micro-organisms. Evolving far …

Although the effects of kinetics on crystal growth are well understood, the role of substrate
curvature is not yet established. We studied rigid, two-dimensional colloidal crystals growing …

A geometrically based fundamental-measure free-energy density functional unified the
scaled-particle and Percus-Yevick theories for the hard-sphere fluid mixture. It has been …

A hard sphere system confined between two parallel hard plates is investigated
theoretically. Using extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations, the phase diagram is …

We experimentally study the mechanical pressure exerted by a set of respectively passive
isotropic and self-propelled polar disks onto two different flexible unidimensional …

We use both mean-field methods and numerical simulation to study the phase diagram of
classical particles interacting with a hard core and repulsive, soft shoulder. Despite the …

Applied Analysis of Composite Media: Analytical and Computational Approaches presents
formulas and techniques that can used to study 2D and 3D problems in composites and …

We investigate motility-induced phase separation of active Brownian particles, which are
modeled as purely repulsive spheres that move due to a constant swim force with freely …
