We use the soft fundamental measure theory to investigate a model for star polymers. We calculate liquid and solid structural properties, as well as freezing, solid-to-solid, and remelting phase transitions. [more]  Read the [full paper] as pdf. |
DFT for soft potentials
Based on the hard sphere case [5] [6], a density functional theory (DFT) for soft (i.e. continuously varying as a function of interparticle distance) potentials was obtained by considering dimensional crossover [8], and subsequently extended to mixtures [10]. Applications concern the liquid structure of model fluids [13], and structure and freezing of star polymer solutions [15] (see also [16].)[more]
