Recycling chemistry of metals and oxides relies on three steps: dissolution, separation and
material reformation. We review in this work the colloidal approach of the transfer of ions …

If colloidal solute particles are suspended in a solvent close to its critical point, they act as
cavities in a fluctuating medium and thereby restrict and modify the fluctuation spectrum in a …

We employ density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory and identify the
physical origin of why two layers of SrVO 3 on a SrTiO 3 substrate are insulating: the thin film …

We review recent advances in the theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of critical
Casimir forces in soft matter, with particular emphasis on their relevance for the structures of …

We investigate the correlation-induced Mott, magnetic, and topological phase transitions in
artificial (111) bilayers of perovskite transition-metal oxides La Au O 3 and Sr Ir O 3 for which …

The equilibrium properties of ionic microgels are investigated using a combination of the
Poisson-Boltzmann and Flory theories. Swelling behavior, density profiles, and effective …

The carrier effective mass plays a crucial role in modern electronic, optical, and catalytic
devices and is fundamentally related to key properties of solids such as the mobility and …

A Janus colloidal particle with an attractive hemisphere has three valences, ie it can
establish three bonds on the hemisphere in two dimensions. With experiments and …

We studied the orientational order of one-patch colloidal particles (Janus particles) in a
close-packed monolayer. In an experiment on hemispherically patched particles, we …

We investigate the critical behavior of a near-critical fluid confined between two parallel
plates in contact with a reservoir by calculating the order parameter profile and the Casimir …
