Clusterization of weakly-interacting bosons in one dimension: an analytic study at zero temperature
S. Prestipino, A. Sergi, E. Bruno
We study a system of penetrable bosons on a line, focusing on the high-density/weak-interaction regime, where the ground state is, to a good approximation, a condensate. Under comp…
Freezing of soft-core bosons at zero temperature: A variational theory
Santi Prestipino, Alessandro Sergi, Ezio Bruno
The properties of a macroscopic assembly of weakly-repulsive bosons at zero temperature are well described by Gross-Pitaevskii mean-field theory. According to this formalism the sy…
The barrier to ice nucleation in monatomic water
Santi Prestipino
Crystallization from a supercooled liquid initially proceeds via the formation of a small solid embryo (nucleus), which requires surmounting an activation barrier. This phenomenon…
Universal behavior of soft-core fluids near the threshold of thermodynamic stability
Gianpietro Malescio, Alberto Parola, Santi Prestipino
We study, by using liquid-state theories and Monte Carlo simulation, the behavior of systems of classical particles interacting through a finite pair repulsion supplemented with a…
