This article presents an overview of current research activities that center on monodispersed
colloidal spheres whose diameter falls anywhere in the range of 10 nm to 1 μm. It is …

Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles
and represent the plasma state of soft matter. Complex plasmas have several remarkable …

We present an extensive molecular-dynamics simulation for a bead spring model of a melt of
linear polymers. The number of monomers N covers the range from N= 5 to N= 400. Since …

We review the depinning and nonequilibrium phases of collectively interacting particle
systems driven over random or periodic substrates. This type of system is relevant to vortices …

The field of complex (dusty) plasmas—low-temperature plasmas containing charged
microparticles—is reviewed: The major types of experimental complex plasmas are briefly …

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 …

Electrostatic correlations play an important role in physics, chemistry and biology. In
plasmas they result in thermodynamic instability similar to the liquid–gas phase transition of …

Interatomic potentials approximate the potential energy of atoms as a function of their
coordinates. Their main application is the effective simulation of many-atom systems. Here …

Monodisperse colloidal suspensions of micrometre-sized spheres are playing an
increasingly important role as model systems to study, in real space, a variety of phenomena …

The properties of dusty plasmas—low-temperature plasmas containing charged
macroparticles—are considered. The most important elementary processes in dusty …
