Metastable phase separation and information retrieval in multicomponent mixtures
Rodrigo Braz Teixeira, Davide Marcato, Izaak Neri +1
Liquid mixtures can separate into phases with distinct composition. This phenomenon has recently come back to prominence due to its role in complex biological liquids, such as the…

Entropy of self-avoiding branching polymers: mean field theory and Monte Carlo simulations
Davide Marcato, Achille Giacometti, Amos Maritan +1
We study the statistics of branching polymers with excluded-volume interactions, by modeling them as single self-avoiding trees on a generic regular periodic lattice with coordinat…

Theory of polymers in binary solvent solutions: mean-field free energy and phase behavior
Davide Marcato, Achille Giacometti, Amos Maritan +1
We present a lattice model for polymer solutions, explicitly incorporating interactions with a bath of solvent and cosolvent molecules. By exploiting the well-known analogy between…
