The present understanding of how dipolar forces affect the structure and phase behaviour of
classical fluids is reviewed. We focus mainly on the apparent absence of a liquid-vapour …

Electrostatic correlations play an important role in physics, chemistry and biology. In
plasmas they result in thermodynamic instability similar to the liquid–gas phase transition of …

We discuss recent developments and present new findings on the structural and phase
properties of dipolar model fluids influenced by various external perturbations. We …

A defect-induced, critical phase separation in dipolar fluids is predicted, which replaces the
usual liquid-gas transition that is driven by the isotropic aggregation of particles and is …

Dipolar particles are fundamental building blocks in nature and technology, yet the effect of
particle anisotropy is seldom explored. Here, we fabricate colloidal silica rods coated with a …

The authors numerically study a simple fluid composed of particles having a hard-core
repulsion, complemented by two short-ranged attractive (sticky) spots at the particle poles …

Phase behavior is strongly affected by dipolar interactions in a wide range of systems
including those containing ketones, aldehydes, ethers, and esters. Multiple polar sites are …

We present results from molecular simulation and statistical mechanics based theory for
dipolar hard sphere chains. We consider tangent hard sphere chains with dipoles on …

The theory of particle association in flexible chains in dilute ferrofluids is generalized to the
case of an arbitrarily strengthened magnetic field. The chain distribution in dynamic …

We review equilibrium thermodynamic properties of systems of magnetic particles like
ferrofluids in which dipolar interactions play an important role. The review is focused on two …
