We study experimentally the interaction between two solitary waves that approach one to another in a linear chain of spheres interacting via the Hertz potential. When these counter propagating waves collide, they cross each other and a…

A one-dimensional long-range model of classical rotators with an extended degree of complexity, as compared to paradigmatic long-range systems, is introduced and studied. Working at constant density, in the thermodynamic limit one can prove…

Phase transitions are uncommon among homogenous one-dimensional fluids of classical particles owing to a general non-existence result due to van Hove. A way to circumvent van Hove's theorem is to consider an interparticle potential that is…

Using particle-resolved molecular-dynamics simulations, we compute the phase diagram for soft repulsive spherocylinders confined on the surface of a sphere. While crystal (K), smectic (Sm), and isotropic (I) phases exhibit a stability…

The penetrable-sphere model has been introduced in the literature to describe the peculiar thermodynamic behavior of some colloidal systems. In this model the interaction potential is $\phi(r)=\epsilon>0$ if the two spheres are overlapped…

We study the phase diagram of a system of spherical particles interacting in three dimensions through a potential consisting of a strict hard core plus a linear repulsive shoulder at larger distances. The phase diagram (obtained…

A system of hard spheres exhibits physics that is controlled only by their density. This comes about because the interaction energy is either infinite or zero, so all allowed configurations have exactly the same energy. The low density…
