We perform molecular dynamics simulations of short-range attractive colloid particles modeled by a narrow (3% of the hard sphere diameter) square well potential of unit depth. We compare the dynamics of systems with the same thermodynamics…

The packing behavior of powders is significantly influenced by various types of inter-particle attractive forces, including adhesion and non-bonded van der Waals forces [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Alongside particle size and shape distributions,…

The structure of the Baxter adhesive hard sphere fluid is examined using computer simulation. The radial distribution function (which exhibits unusual discontinuities due to the particle adhesion) and static structure factor are calculated…

The dynamic behavior of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension was studied by X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy and Small Angle X-ray Scattering over a wide range of particle volume fractions. The short-time mobility of the particles was…

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have determined that the nature of dynamical heterogeneity in jammed liquids is very sensitive to short-ranged attractions. Weakly attractive systems differ little from dense hard-sphere and…

The contact values $g_{ij}(\sigma_{ij})$ of the radial distribution functions of a $d$-dimensional mixture of (additive) hard spheres are considered. A `universality' assumption is put forward, according to which…

We present an easy-to-use analytic toolbox for the calculation of short-time transport properties of concentrated suspensions of spherical colloidal particles with internal hydrodynamic structure, and direct interactions described by a…

Simple models for spherical particles with a soft shell have been shown to self-assemble into numerous crystal phases and even quasicrystals. However, most of these models rely on a simple pairwise interaction, which is usually a valid…

We present a theoretical study of wetting phenomena and interactions between liquid-vapor interfaces based on the density functional theory. The focus is mostly on the impact of long-range van der Waals interactions both within the fluid…

We perform Monte Carlo simulations on the hard-core attractive Yukawa system to test the Optimized Baxter Model that was introduced in [P.Prinsen and T. Odijk, J. Chem. Phys. 121, p.6525 (2004)] to study a fluid phase of spherical particles…

In this work we derive and analyze coarse-grained descriptions of self-propelled particles with selective attraction-repulsion interaction, where individuals may respond differently to their neighbours depending on their relative state of…

Large scale simulations of two-dimensional bidisperse granular fluids allow us to determine spatial correlations of slow particles via the four-point structure factor $S_4(q,t)$. Both cases, elastic ($\varepsilon=1$) as well as inelastic…

Dense suspensions of small strongly interacting particles are complex systems, which are rarely understood on the microscopic level. We investigate properties of dense suspensions and sediments of small spherical Al_2O_3 particles in a…

The Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg (TTSH) equations are one of the basic equations that are used to model turbulent behaviour in active matter, specifically the swarming of bacteria in suspension. They combine features of the incompressible…

Using the recently developed so-called White Bear version of Rosenfeld's Fundamental Measure Theory we calculate the depletion potentials between a hard-sphere colloidal particle in a solvent of small hard spheres and simple models of…

We report on a comprehensive theory-simulation-experimental study of collective and self-diffusion in suspensions of charge-stabilized colloidal spheres. In simulation and theory, the spheres interact by a hard-core plus screened Coulomb…

A known `sticky-hard-sphere' model, defined starting from a hard-sphere-Yukawa potential and taking the limit of infinite amplitude and vanishing range with their product remaining constant, is shown to be ill-defined. This is because its…

We have developed a simulation model to describe particle adsorption to and desorption from liquid interfaces. Using this model we formulate a closed interfacial equation of state for repulsive elastic spheres. The effect of a long-range…

The nonlinear rheology of glass-forming colloidal suspensions with short-ranged attractions is discussed within the integration-through transients framework combined with the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (ITT-MCT).…

Understanding how soft particles can fill the space is still an open question. Structures far from classical FCC or BCC phases are now commonly experimentally observed in many different systems. Models based on pair interaction between soft…
