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 …

Abstract Characterization of the morphology, identification of patterns and quantification of
order encountered in colloidal assemblies is essential for several reasons. First of all, it is …

We study the melting of quasi-two-dimensional colloidal hard spheres by considering a tilted
monolayer of particles in sedimentation-diffusion equilibrium. In particular, we measure the …

Because of their aperiodic nature, quasicrystals are one of the least understood phases in
statistical physics. One significant complication they present in comparison to their periodic …

Hard disks are one of the simplest interacting many-body model system in two dimensions
(2D). Here, we present a comprehensive set of measurements of the static structure factors …

Nearly monodisperse nanoparticle (NP) spheres attached to a nonvolatile ionic liquid
surface were tracked by in situ scanning electron microscopy to obtain the tracer diffusion …

A model system of identical particles interacting via a hard-sphere potential is essential in
condensed matter physics; it helps to understand in and out of equilibrium phenomena in …

Evidence suggests that the transport rate of a passive particle at long time scales is
enhanced due to interactions with the surrounding active ones in a size-and composition …

Using dynamical density functional theory (DDFT), we theoretically study Brownian self-
diffusion and structural relaxation of hard disks and compare to experimental results on …

We describe experimentally observed collective dynamics in colloidal suspensions of model
hard-sphere particles using a modified mode coupling theory (MCT). This rescaled MCT is …
