Pair interactions between complex mesoscopic particles from Widom's particle-insertion method†
Abstract
We demonstrate that Widom's particle insertion technique provides a convenient and efficient method to determine the effective pair interaction between complex, composite soft-matter particles in the zero-density limit. By means of three different test systems, i.e. amphiphilic dendrimers, electrostatic
