We review the depinning and nonequilibrium phases of collectively interacting particle
systems driven over random or periodic substrates. This type of system is relevant to vortices …

Two decades after the first publication on quasicrystals in aluminum manganese alloys by
Shechtman et al., a “soft quasicrystal” was found in nature. Since then a number of materials …

In this work, an extension is proposed to the standard iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI)
method used to derive coarse-grained potentials. It is shown that the inclusion of target data …

The two-dimensional self-assembly of colloidal particles serves as a model system for
fundamental studies of structure formation and as a powerful tool to fabricate functional …

A transition from a square to a hexagonal lattice is studied in a 2D system of particles
interacting via a core-softened potential. Due to the presence of two length scales of …

We report direct evidence of the field-dependent character of the interaction between
individual magnetic skyrmions as well as between skyrmions and edges in B 20-type FeGe …

As computers get faster, researchers—not hardware or algorithms—become the bottleneck
in scientific discovery. Computational study of colloidal self‐assembly is one area that is …

We demonstrate the accuracy of the hypernetted chain closure and of the mean-field
approximation for the calculation of the fluid-state properties of systems interacting by means …

We report a computer-simulation study of the equilibrium phase diagram of a three-
dimensional system of particles with a repulsive-step potential. Using free-energy …

A two-dimensional system of soft particles interacting via a two-length-scale potential is
studied. Density functional theory and Brownian dynamics simulations reveal a fluid phase …
