Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the hard sphere model as it applies to colloids and polymers in fluids. Participants seek to understand the model's fundamentals, its applications, and relevant literature for further study.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the hard sphere model and its relevance to colloids and polymers in fluids.
  • Others express a lack of understanding and request explanations about the model.
  • Several participants recommend starting with the classic Percus-Yevick model paper and suggest further reading from authors like Paul Chaikin and David Weitz.
  • One participant specifically asks for the complete reference of the Percus-Yevick model paper, indicating difficulty in finding it.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the specifics of the hard sphere model, as participants express varying levels of knowledge and understanding. Recommendations for literature suggest a shared interest in exploring the topic further.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed definitions or assumptions underlying the hard sphere model, and there are unresolved questions regarding specific references and foundational concepts.

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.
