We review what is known, unknown, and expected about the mathematical properties of
Coulomb and Riesz gases. Those describe infinite configurations of points in R d interacting …

This topical review discusses the quasiuniversality of simple liquids' structure and dynamics
and two possible justifications of it. The traditional one is based on the van der Waals picture …

Local bond order parameters based on spherical harmonics, also known as Steinhardt order
parameters, are often used to determine crystal structures in molecular simulations. Here we …

We use monodisperse poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) microgels as a model system
for soft repulsive colloids and study their density dependent structural ordering and phase …

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 …

For the homogeneous crystal nucleation process in a soft-core colloid model, we identify
optimal reaction coordinates from a set of novel order parameters based on the local …

We describe a combined experimental, theoretical, and simulation study of the structural
correlations between cross-linked highly monodisperse and swollen Poly (N …

This book presents an authoritative and in-depth treatment of potential energy landscape
theory, a powerful analytical approach to describing the atomic and molecular interactions in …

The Ornstein-Zernike equation is a powerful tool in liquid state theory for predicting structural
and thermodynamic properties of fluids. Combined with a suitable closure, it has been …

Complex plasma is the plasma state of soft matter which consists of weakly ionized gas
(plasma) and highly charged microparticles. The microparticles are large enough to be …
