Multiscale Simulations of Soft and Hard Matter
Colloidal suspensions usually consist of colloidal particles of size 1 nm to 1 μm which are surrounded by a solvent, typically water. In these systems the kinetic energy of the colloids at room temperature is about the strength of their interaction energy. Hence, these systems or materials are considered as soft and deformable and known as “soft matter”. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of su...
متن کاملSoft Systems and Hard Contradictions
Checkland's Soft Systems Methodology for defining and solving problems in organizations is presented on the basis of an application of the methodology. In many ways this approach represents an improvement in relation to more traditional approaches to computer-based information systems. Based on an experiment we explore the possibilities of combining the practical usefulness of soft systems thin...
متن کاملStructural lubricity under ambient conditions
Despite its fundamental importance, physical mechanisms that govern friction are poorly understood. While a state of ultra-low friction, termed structural lubricity, is expected for any clean, atomically flat interface consisting of two different materials with incommensurate structures, some associated predictions could only be quantitatively confirmed under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions ...
متن کاملClassical density functional theory methods in soft and hard matter.
Herein we provide a brief summary of the background, events and results/outcome of the CECAM workshop 'Classical density functional theory methods in soft and hard matter' held in Lausanne between October 21 and October 23 2009, which brought together two largely separately working communities, both of whom employ classical density functional techniques: the soft-matter community and the theore...
متن کاملStructural lubricity: Role of dimension and symmetry
– When two chemically passivated solids are brought into contact, interfacial interactions between the solids compete with intrabulk elastic forces. The relative importance of these interactions, which are length-scale dependent, will be estimated using scaling arguments. If elastic interactions dominate on all length scales, solids will move as essentially rigid objects. This would imply super...
