I would like to calculate dcf between colloidal particles, which would help me to calculate the effective potential between colloids.
Here is an old classical paper on calculation of pair correlations in a ferromagnetic colloid. The colloid consists of identical spherical ferromagnetic grains suspended in a magnetically passive liquid. Take a look.
Is there any way to calculate direct correlation function using molecular dynamic simulations?
Here is a very comprehensive lecture notes on colloidal soft matter physics with detailed discussion regarding calculation of different correlation functions.
Thank you Pr. Sergei;
The document is very interessant.
In fact I have measured the hydrodynamic radius of a polymer in mixed solvent by DLS.
We have also developped a simple model to explain the experiemental results.
In order to study the effect of the mixture composition of the mixed solvents on the structure of the solution, I have to calculate the correlation function g(r).
As the calculus is complicated, can I find a free software to do the job.
Sincerly yours
OK, Guettari, I guess there is (should be) a free soft which will do your job for you. If I come across such a program, I let you know asap.
Best, Sergei
I have found this program
AVA
A program for calculating the structure factors of liquid metals and binary liquid alloys.
