“Perspective: Basic Understanding of Condensed Phases of Matter via Packing Models” is published in The Journal of Chemical Physics Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full article: here. Packing problems have been a source of fascination for millennia and their study has produced a rich literature that spans numerous disciplines. Investigations of hard-particle packing models have provided basic insights into the structure and bulk properties of condensed phases of matter, including low-temperature states (e.g., molecular and colloidal liquids, … Continue Reading “Perspective: Basic Understanding of Condensed Phases of Matter via Packing Models” is published in The Journal of Chemical Physics

“Binary Mixtures of Charged Colloids: a Potential Route to Synthesize Disordered Hyperuniform Materials” is published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Disordered hyperuniform materials are a new, exotic class of amorphous matter that exhibits crystal-like behavior, in the sense that volume-fraction fluctuations are suppressed at large length scales, and yet they are isotropic and do not display diffraction Bragg peaks. These materials are endowed with novel … Continue Reading “Binary Mixtures of Charged Colloids: a Potential Route to Synthesize Disordered Hyperuniform Materials” is published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics
