Modeling the Free Energy Functional at the Fluid-Solid Transition in Classical Many-Particle Systems

The problem of phase equilibrium in colloidal and classical atomistic systems is of great interest in modern micro/nano fabrication and self-assembly processes. Systems with specific potential interactions are increasingly being developed and knowledge of their phase diagrams would aid in their use...
