Triplet depletion forces from density functional optimization
Literature Information
A novel density functional theory optimization technique, based on Rosenfeld's “fundamental measure ” theory for hard-core particles and the use of an adaptive real-space grid, is developed to investigate highly asymmetric binary mixtures of hard spheres as models of bidisperse colloidal suspensions. The method is applied to the calculation of pair and triplet depletion forces between large colloids in a bath of much smaller colloidal particles. The computed pair forces are in generally good agreement with theoretical predictions and previous Monte Carlo work. The triplet forces, explicitly calculated for the first time, are an order of magnitude weaker than the much-studied pair interactions, and appear to be attractive.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
