Recent progress in the microscopic description of the liquid-solid coexistence is examined
critically and put into historical perspective. The emphasis is on the density functional …

We develop a microscopic theory to analyze the phase behavior and compute correlation
functions of dense assemblies of soft repulsive particles both at finite temperature, as in …

The equilibrium structure and energetics of the crystal-melt interfaces of simple systems are
studied using the nonlocal weighted density-functional approximation (WDA) to the …

We examine a phase field crystal model for simple liquid-solid systems consisting of a free
energy functional related to the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff free energy of classical density …

A directly measurable correlation length may be defined for systems having a two-step
relaxation, based on the geometric properties of a density profile that remains after …

We present a first principle scheme to compute the rigidity, ie, the shear-modulus of
structural glasses at finite temperatures using the cloned liquid theory, which combines the …

The state-following technique allows the study of metastable glassy states under external
perturbations. Here we show how this construction can be used to study the behavior of …

Density functional theory has been used to describethe ordering phenomena of amorphous
AB diblock copolymers. The resulting formalism was then used to study the ordering of a …

An array of motor proteins consumes chemical energy in setting up the architectures of
chromosomes. Here, we explore how the structure of ideal polymer chains is influenced by …
