We show how the dielectric-plasma transition in the two-dimensional Coulomb gas, suitably mapped onto a delocalization transition by fixing one species of charges on a triangular lattice, can be characterized by a number of static and dynamic “diagnostics”. The influence of the...

We study the phase separation of binary ionic mixtures involving two species of classical point ions in a rigid uniform neutralizing background of degenerate electrons. The thermodynamic properties of the ionic fluid are calculated on the basis of the HNC integral equation for the three partial...

The self-diffusion and interdiffusion of the two ionic species in binary mixtures of point ions immersed in a uniform neutralizing background are analyzed on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations over a wide range of couplings. The autocorrelation function associated with interdiffusion is...

We show how to coarse-grain polymers in a good solvent as single particles, interacting with density-independent or density-dependent interactions. These interactions can be between the centres of mass, the mid- or end-points of the polymers. We also show how to extend these methods to polymers...
