    Hard Model Sphere
AI Thread Summary
The hard sphere model is a foundational concept in understanding colloids and polymer fluids, particularly through the lens of the Percus-Yevick model, which is essential for studying monodisperse hard sphere colloids. This model has been extensively researched, with significant contributions from authors like Paul Chaikin and David Weitz. For those seeking to learn more, classic texts such as "Principles of Condensed Matter Physics" by Chaikin and Lubensky are recommended. The discussion highlights the importance of starting with seminal papers and progressing to comprehensive books on the subject. Overall, the hard sphere model remains a crucial framework for exploring the behavior of colloidal systems.

What do you know about the hard sphere model? and for this model used for colloids and polimers in fluids?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I know some things; what do you want to know?
 
I have not idea about this model. I need a explication about it.
 
Could you advise some book to learn about the topic?
 
Start with the classic paper (Percus-Yevick model), then move on to any decent book about colloids- monodisperse hard sphere colloids are a well-studied experimental system. Paul Chaikin, David Weitz, and others have published quite a bit in this area.
 
See also the early chapters in Chaikin & Lubensky.

Could you give me the complete reference of the paper (Percus-Yevick model)? I didn't find.
