Modern theories of melting of two-dimensional systems are discussed that are mainly based
on the concepts of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) theory of phase transitions in …

The most accepted origin for the water anomalous behavior is the phase transition between
two liquids (LLPT) in the supercooled regime connected to the glassy first order phase …

In this paper, we investigate the phase diagram of a dumbbell model composed of two hard-
core soft-corona beads through NpT simulations. We chose this particular system due to its …

In this paper we analyze the structural behavior of two species of core-softened colloids:
spherical and dumbbell shaped molecules with distinct separations from almost complete …

Using molecular dynamics simulation we have investigated the influence of random pinning
on the phase diagram and melting scenarios of a two-dimensional system with the Hertz …

Geometrical constraints offer a promising strategy for assembling colloidal crystal structures
that are not typically observed in bulk or under 2D conditions. Core-softened colloids, in …

The interaction between hard core–soft shell colloids are characterized by having two
characteristic distances: one associated with the penetrable, soft corona and another one …

Water is the most anomalous material on Earth, with a long list of thermodynamic, dynamic
and structural behaviors that deviate from what is expected. Recent studies have indicated …

This article aims to investigate the effects of a small amount of ionic liquid on the effective
electrostatic potential between two charged plates immersed in an organic solvent. Utilizing …

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to gain insights into the density anomaly
and excess thermodynamic properties of a binary mixture composed of a solvent resembling …
