Study of the linear and nonlinear response properties of the zinc-blende AlP, GaP and their AlxGa1-xP ternary alloys using first principle calculations

Enhanced attraction between particles in a bidisperse mixture with random pair-wise interactions

“…A system can also be polydisperse due to the distribution of many other variables characterizing the system, e.g., charge, shape, interaction energy, etc. In addition to experimental works mentioned above, these systems have drawn attention of researchers from theoretical and computational perspectives [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. The computer simulations of one such extreme case of mixing, where all particles are considered to be different by considering random interactions between them, has shown significant improvement in cohesive forces between the particles which in turn increases the yield strength of the system [17].…”
