Directional depletion interactions in shaped particles
A. Scala, P. G. De Sanctis Lucentini
Entropic forces in colloidal suspensions and in polymer-colloid systems are of long-standing and continuing interest. Experiments show how entropic forces can be used to control th…
Applications of the Stell-Hemmer Potential to Understanding Second Critical Points in Real Systems
A. Scala, M. R. Sadr-Lahijany, N. Giovambattista +2
We consider the novel properties of the Stell-Hemmer core-softened potentials. First we explore how the theoretically predicted second critical point for these potentials is relate…
Water-like anomalies for core-softened models of fluids: One dimension
M. Reza Sadr-Lahijany, Antonio Scala, Sergey~V. Buldyrev +1
We use a one-dimensional (1d) core-softened potential to develop a physical picture for some of the anomalies present in liquid water. The core-softened potential mimics the effect…
