We propose a model for hard sphere particles suspended in an emulsion of liquid droplets. The interaction between droplets is hard, but the particles can penetrate the droplets. Using simulation and theory, we find that the relative polydispersity exhibits nonmonotonic behavior as a function of the particle packing fraction. [more]  Read the [full paper] as pdf. |
Hard spheres
The hard sphere system freezes between [2] and [3], and in ~[23] dimensions (tags as contents!), as well as on stripe-patterned substrates [26]. Deep relations to dimensional crossover exist [5] [6]. Hard spheres were immersed in emulsions [9], confined to a flexible container [18], exposed to surfaces of other quenched spheres [37] and of random fiber networks [39], and subject to gravity [51]. Recently, the Rosenfeld functional [5] [6] was generalized to non-additive mixtures [53].[more]
