Colloidal suspensions of monodisperse spherical particles have been extensively studied
since one of the main advantages of these systems is their similarity to atomic ones. This …

Melting in two-dimensional systems has remained controversial as theory, simulations, and
experiments show contrasting results. One issue that obscures this discussion is whether or …

In the present paper, using a molecular dynamics simulation, we study a nature of melting of
a two-dimensional (2D) system of classical particles interacting through a purely repulsive …

This chapter presents a review of the thermodynamic properties of pure (one‐component)
substances that are confined in slits or cylindrical pores. It starts with a discussion of the …

The study of confined condensed matter is motivated by the observation that when the range
of molecular interaction and the length scale associated with position correlation in a system …

We present a comparative computer simulation study of the phase diagrams and anomalous
behavior of two-dimensional (2 D) and quasi-two-dimensional (q 2 D) classical particles …

In the framework of the density functional theory of freezing proposed in our previous works,
we calculate the phase diagram of two-dimensional system of particles interacting through …

A bidimensional (2D) thermotropic liquid crystal (LC) is investigated with Molecular
Dynamics (MD) simulations. The Gay-Berne mesogen with parameterization GB (3, 5, 2, 1) …

We develop a theoretical model of a clathrin protein lattice on a flexible cell membrane. The
clathrin subunit is modeled as a three-legged pinwheel with elastic deformation modes and …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) melting is a fundamental research topic in condensed matter
physics, which can also provide guidance on fabricating new functional materials …
