The phase separation of two-dimensional binary mixtures has been studied through numerical Langevin simulations based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy. We have considered not symmetric mixtures with and without imposed shear flow. In the…
The effect of polydispersity on the freezing transition of hard spheres is examined within a moment description. At low polydispersities a single fluid-to-crystal transition is recovered. With increasing polydispersity we find a density…
The binary additive hard-sphere mixtures have been studied by the Ornstein-Zernike integral equation coupled with the Martynov-Sarkisov (MS) closure approximation. Virial equation of state is computed in the MS approximation. The excess…
An equation of state of the hard sphere fluid which is not analytical at the freezing density is proposed and tested. The nonanalytical term is based on the the classical nucleation theory and is able to capture the observed ``anomalous…
A simple recipe to derive the compressibility factor of a multicomponent mixture of d-dimensional additive hard spheres in terms of that of the one-component system is proposed. The recipe is based (i) on an exact condition that has to be…
The adsorption of particles diffusing in a half-space bounded by the substrate and irreversibly sticking to the substrate upon contacts is investigated. We show that when absorbing particles are planar disks diffusing in the…
The dilute Fermi gas at unitarity is scale invariant and its bulk viscosity vanishes. We compute the leading contribution to the bulk viscosity when the scattering length is not infinite. A measure of scale breaking is provided by the ratio…
The response of amorphous solids to an applied shear deformation is an important problem, both in fundamental and applied research. To tackle this problem, we focus on a system of hard spheres in infinite dimensions as a solvable model for…
The irreversible growth of a binary mixture under far-from-equilibrium conditions is studied in three-dimensional confined geometries of size $L_x \times L_y \times L_z$, where $L_z \gg L_x = L_y$ is the growing direction. A competing…
We study fluid-fluid phase separation in a colloid-polymer mixture adsorbed in a colloidal porous matrix close to the \theta -point. For this purpose we consider the Asakura-Oosawa model in the presence of a quenched matrix of colloidal…
Depletion of the liquid density near a solid surface with a weak long-range fluid-surface interaction was studied by computer simulations of the liquid-vapor coexistence of a LJ fluid confined in slitlike pores. In a wide temperature range…
We investigate isotropic-isotropic, isotropic-nematic and nematic-nematic phase coexistence in binary mixtures of circular platelets with vanishing thickness, continuous rotational degrees of freedom and radial size ratios $\lambda$ up to…
Three-dimensional central symmetric bodies different from spheres that can float in all orientations are considered. For relative density rho=1/2 there are solutions, if holes in the body are allowed. For rho different from 1/2 the body is…
Segregation and mixing of granular mixtures during heap formation have important consequences in industry and agriculture. This research investigates three different final particle configurations of bi-disperse granular mixtures --…
We obtain analytic expressions for the time correlation functions of a liquid of spherical particles, exact in the limit of high dimensions $d$. The derivation is long but straightforward: a dynamic virial expansion for which only the first…
We investigate mixing effects on the glass state of binary colloidal hard-sphere-like mixtures with large size asymmetry, at a constant volume fraction phi = 0.61. The structure, dynamics and viscoelastic response as a function of mixing…
Symmetric mixtures characterized by high negative geometric and energetic non-additivity do not exhibit phase separation in the bulk. However, the phase separation occurs when such mixtures are confined in slit pores with selective walls.…
We study properties of jammed packings of frictionless spheres over a wide range of volume fractions. There exists a crossover volume fraction which separates deeply jammed solids from marginally jammed solids. In deeply jammed solids, all…
Achieving a coherent understanding of the many thermodynamic and dynamic anomalies of water is among the most important unsolved puzzles in physics, chemistry, and biology. One hypothesized explanation imagines the existence of a line of…
The crystallization of a binary system is investigated in computer model which takes into account a temperature dependence of diffusion coefficient and a nonequilibrium partition of dissolved component of the alloy. The dependence of…
