摘要: Ian Snook provides an insight of the scientific contributions Edgar R. Smith in mathematical and field. described dynamical properties colloidal suspensions, solved problem using commonly used truncation expansion these interactions. also studied magnetization ideal Bose systems, one dimensional X-Y model with random coupling constants, correlations Ising constants. The field covered by him include response a nematic liquid crystal to van der Waals forces, interaction across non-uniform electolytes, upper bound on free energy for classical systems Coulomb interactions varying external problems related Monte Carlo simulation planar roughening transition electrostatic periodic boundary conditions.
