We show that a jammed packing of disks with generic radii, in a generic container, is such that the minimal number of contacts occurs and there is only one dimension of equilibrium stresses. We also point out some connections to packings…
We introduce and analyze $d$ dimensional Coulomb gases with random charge distribution and general external confining potential. We show that these gases satisfy a large deviations principle. The analysis of the minima of the rate function…
We calculate the zero temperature electrostatic properties of charged one and two dimensional arrays of rings, in the classical and quantum limits. Each ring is assumed to be an ideal ring of negligible width, with exactly one electron on…
We examine the impact of adding a Coulomb term to a constrained system of 147 particles interacting via a Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential, finding that the inclusion of the coulombic interaction produces a shift, but no qualitative changes in…
The stability of the orbital motion of two long cylindrical magnets interacting exclusively with magnetic forces is described. To carry out analytical studies a model of magnetically interacting symmetric tops [1] is used. The model was…

We present a novel mechanism for thermalizing a system of particles in equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations, based on specifically modeling energy transfer at the boundaries via a microscopic collision process. We apply our method to…
We demonstrate, using examples from $2$ and $3$-dimensions, a systematic method of finding all possible periodic arrangements of a given molecule or molecules such that the arrangements have the symmetry of a given space group. The…
In this work we discuss about the problem of an electrically charged particle placed on the symmetry axis of an electrically charged ring in a quantum viewpoint. This problem should be an expanded version of the usual quantum ring and…
The structure and stresses of static granular packs in cylindrical containers are studied using large-scale discrete element molecular dynamics simulations in three dimensions. We generate packings by both pouring and sedimentation and…
The gas of the interacted electrons is usually described within Kohn-Sham approximation by the set of Poisson and Schr\"{o}dinger equations with an effective potential for the single-particle wave functions. The solution of these equations…
Ring polymers are characterized by topology-specific entanglements called threadings. In the limit of large rings, it is conjectured that a "topological glass" should emerge due to the proliferation of threadings. In this study, we used…
This work considers the distribution of inertial particles in turbulence using the point-particle approximation. We demonstrate that the random point process formed by the positions of particles in space is a Poisson point process with…
We consider non-relativistic systems in quantum mechanics interacting through the Coulomb potential, and discuss the existence of bound states which are stable against spontaneous dissociation into smaller atoms or ions. We review the…
We propose a two-body spherically symmetric (isotropic) potential such that particles interacting by the potential self assemble into linear semiflexible polymeric chains without branching. By suitable control of the potential parameters we…
We study Heisenberg model of classical spins lying on the toroidal support, whose internal and external radii are $r$ and $R$, respectively. The isotropic regime is characterized by a fractional soliton solution. Whenever the torus size is…
A collection of spherical particles can be packed tightly together into an amorphous packing known as "random close packing" (RCP). This structure is of interest as a model for the arrangement of molecules in simple liquids and glasses, as…
Colloidal particles can spontaneously self-assemble into ordered structures, which not only can manipulate the propagation of light, but also vibration or phonons. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we study the self-assembly of perfectly…
