Bending and Gaussian rigidities of confined soft spheres from second-order virial series
Ignacio Urrutia
We use virial series to study the equilibrium properties of confined soft-spheres fluids interacting through the inverse-power potentials. The confinement is induced by hard walls…
Virial series for inhomogeneous fluids applied to the Lennard-Jones wall-fluid surface tension at planar and curved walls
Ignacio Urrutia, Iván Paganini
We formulate a straightforward scheme of statistical mechanics for inhomogeneous systems that includes the virial series in powers of the activity for the grand free energy and den…
Fluids confined in wedges and by edges: From cluster integrals to thermodynamic properties referred to different regions
Ignacio Urrutia
Recently, new insights in the relation between the geometry of the vessel that confines a fluid and its thermodynamic properties were traced through the study of cluster integrals…
Structure, thermodynamic properties, and phase diagrams of few colloids confined in a spherical pore
Iván Paganini, Claudio Pastorino, Ignacio Urrutia
We study a system of few colloids confined in a small spherical cavity by event driven molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. The colloidal particles interact th…
Mean properties and Free Energy of a few hard spheres confined in a spherical cavity
Ignacio Urrutia, Claudio Pastorino
We use analytical calculations and event-driven molecular dynamics simulations to study a small number of hard sphere particles in a spherical cavity. The cavity is taken also as t…
Bending rigidity and higher order curvature terms for the hard-sphere fluid near a curved wall
Ignacio Urrutia
In this work I derive analytic expressions for the curvature dependent fluid-substrate surface tension of a hard sphere fluid on a hard curved wall. In a first step, the curvature…
