In this work, we present a review of recently achieved progress in the field of soft condensed
matter physics, and in particular on the study of the static properties of solutions or …

Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of
confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex …

There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and
pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …

In this paper the relationship between the classical density functional theory of freezing and
phase-field modeling is examined. More specifically a connection is made between the …

Liquid crystals are partially ordered systems without a rigid, long-range structure. The study
of these materials covers a wide area: chemical structure, physical properties and technical …

Mesogenic materials exhibit a multitude of transitions involving new phases. Studies of
these phases are of importance in a wide range of scientific fields and as such have …

Mode-coupling theory is an approach to the study of complex behavior in the supercooled
liquids which developed from the idea of a nonlinear feedback mechanism. From the …

Density-functional theory (DFT) and its variations provide a fruitful approach to the
computational modeling of the microscopic structures and phase behavior of soft-condensed …

The dynamics of phase field crystal (PFC) modeling is derived from dynamical density
functional theory (DDFT), for both single-component and binary systems. The derivation is …
