Monte Carlo computer simulations and electron microscopy of colloidal cluster formation via emulsion droplet evaporation
Ingmar Schwarz, Andrea Fortini, Claudia Simone Wagner +2
We consider a theoretical model for a binary mixture of colloidal particles and spherical emulsion droplets. The hard sphere colloids interact via additional short-ranged attractio…
Statics and dynamics of inhomogeneous liquids via the internal-energy functional
Matthias Schmidt
We give a variational formulation of classical statistical mechanics where the one-body density and the local entropy distribution constitute the trial fields. Using Levy's constra…
Density functional for ternary non-additive hard sphere mixtures
Matthias Schmidt
Based on fundamental measure theory, a Helmholtz free energy density functional for three-component mixtures of hard spheres with general, non-additive interaction distances is con…
First-order layering and critical wetting transitions in non-additive hard sphere mixtures
Paul Hopkins, Matthias Schmidt
Using fundamental-measure density functional theory we investigate entropic wetting in an asymmetric binary mixture of hard spheres with positive non-additivity. We consider a gene…
Phase behaviour of binary mixtures of diamagnetic colloidal platelets in an external magnetic field
Jonathan Phillips, Matthias Schmidt
Using fundamental measure density functional theory we investigate paranematic-nematic and nematic-nematic phase coexistence in binary mixtures of circular platelets with vanishing…
Variational Principle of Classical Density Functional Theory via Levy's Constrained Search Method
Wipsar Sunu Brams Dwandaru, Matthias Schmidt
We show that classical density functional theory can be based on the constrained search method [M. Levy, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 76, 6062 (1979)]. From the Gibbs inequality one firs…
