On the basis of our previous results (Physica A 220 (1995) 325) the collective mode spectrum of the Heisenberg ferrofluid model is studied in the hydrodynamic region. We start from the rigorous microscopic approach taking into account all conserved quantities and calculate the explicit...

A wedge-shaped iron (Fe) film system, quenched by silicone oil during deposition, has been prepared on glass substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering, and the influence of external disturbance on buckling patterns is investigated. The experiment shows that the wedge-shaped Fe film...

Tantalum (Ta) films deposited on glass substrates have been prepared by a direct current magnetron sputtering method, and buckling patterns induced by residual compressive stress are investigated in detail. When the film thickness increases, the buckling morphologies evolve from straight-sided...

I introduce two mesoscale algorithms, lattice Boltzmann and stochastic rotation dynamics, and show how they can be used to investigate the hydrodynamics of complex fluids. For each method I describe the algorithm, show that it solves the Navier–Stokes equations, and then discuss physical...

The denaturation of the DNA is analyzed using an analytic model. The DNA molecules are described in the Primitive Model of Polyelectrolytes (PMP), where the polyelectrolyte molecules are cylinders with charged sites. We show that the DNA stabilization arises as the result of the competition...

Water soluble porphyrins bearing charged groups can be fostered to aggregate by simply screening the repulsive interactions between side-groups with the same charge. We have extensively studied the aggregation of synthetic porphyrins, which on changing the ionic strength give mesoscopic...

We simulate model systems of charged spherical particles in their counterion solution and measure the thermodynamic pressure and the pair distribution function from which we derive effective potentials of mean force. For a system with only electrostatic and hard core interactions, we investigate...

We present an analytical study of the dynamical process of the approach to steady state for a driven diffusive system represented by the microemulsion phase of a ternary mixture. The external applied field is given by a “plane Couette” shear flow and the problem is studied within the...

We have studied the aggregation of the porphyrin trans-bis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-diphenylporphyrine (t−H2Pagg) in aqueous solutions by means of light scattering (elastic and quasielastic) and UV-visible absorption measurements. Elastic and dynamic light scattering indicate that the...

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements are made on a three-component isometric (equal volume fractions of water and oil) microemulsion system, composed of AOT/water (0.4% NaCl)/D-octane, in the one-phase channel near the three-phase region at and around the hydrophile-lipophile...
