Solidification and structure formation in soft-core fluids

This thesis analyses the structure, phase behaviour and dynamics of two dimensional (2D) systems of interacting soft-core particles, focussing in particular on how these can solidify and the properties of the resulting crystalline structures. Classical density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical d...
