This article provides a focused review of recent findings which demonstrate, in some cases quite counter-intuitively, the existence of bound states with a singularity of the density pattern at the center, while the states are physically…
Systems of particles interacting with "stealthy" pair potentials have been shown to possess infinitely degenerate disordered hyperuniform classical ground states with novel physical properties. Previous attempts to sample the infinitely…

In this article, we derived a rigorous lower bound on the ground-state energy for a class of one-dimensional quantum systems in deformed space with minimal coordinate and momentum uncertainties, representing the absolute minimum energy that…
We study the stability, the clustering and the phase-diagram of free cooling granular gases. The systems consist of mono-disperse particles with additional non-contact (long-range) interactions, and are simulated here by the event-driven…
The problem of finding the minimum-energy configuration of particles on a lattice, subject to a generic short-ranged repulsive interaction, is studied analytically. The study is relevant to charge ordered states of interacting fermions, as…
To our best knowledge there is only one example of a lattice system with long-range two-body interactions whose ground states have been determined exactly: the one-dimensional lattice gas with purely repulsive and strictly convex…
A generic lattice model for systems containing particles interacting with short-range attraction long-range repulsion (SALR) potential that can be solved exactly in one dimension is introduced. We assume attraction J_1 between the first…
We consider a model of three electrons and one hole confined in a two-dimensional (2D) plane, interacting with one another through Coulomb forces. Using a Ritz variational method we find an upper bound of \approx -0.0112me^4/8\pi^2 \epsilon…
The influence of quadrupolar interactions on the structure of small clusters is investigated by adding a point quadrupole of variable strength to the Lennard-Jones potential. Competition arises between sheet-like arrangements of the…
We discuss a simple model of particles hopping in one dimension with attractive interactions. Taking a hydrodynamic limit in which the interaction strength increases with the system size, we observe the formation of multiple clusters of…
We present evidence that the concurrent existence of two populations of particles with different effective diameters is not a prerequisite for the occurrence of anomalous phase behaviors in systems of particles interacting through…
We report results for the ground-state energy and structural properties of small $^4$He-T$\downarrow$ clusters consisting of up to 4 T$\downarrow$ and 8 $^4$He atoms. These results have been obtained using very well-known $^4$He-$^4$He and…
We give a rigorous argument that long--range repulsion stabilizes quantum systems; ground states of such quantum systems exist even when the ground state energy is precisely at the ionization threshold. For atomic systems at the critical…
Densities of particles on $\Rn$ which interact pairwise through an attractive-repulsive power-law potential $W_{\al,\bt}(x) = |x|^\al/\al-|x|^\bt/\bt$ have often been used to explain patterns produced by biological and physical systems. In…
We have performed large-scale Lennard-Jones molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous vapor-to-liquid nucleation, with $10^9$ atoms. This large number allows us to resolve extremely low nucleation rates, and also provides excellent…
The ground-state of two-dimensional (2D) systems of classical particles interacting pairwisely by the generalized Lennard-Jones potential is studied. Taking the surface area per particle $A$ as a free parameter and restricting oneself to…
Geometrical properties of protein ground states are studied using an algebraic approach. It is shown that independent from inter-monomer interactions, the collection of ground state candidates for any folded protein is unexpectedly small:…
The present paper is devoted to the study of a simple model of interacting electrons in a random background. In a large interval $\Lambda$, we consider $n$ one dimensional particles whose evolution is driven by the Luttinger-Sy model, i.e.,…
We study the phase diagram of the one dimensional (1D) $U-V$ model at quarter filling in the most general case where the on-site and first-neighbour interactions $U$ and $V$ can be both attractive and repulsive. The results have been…
