β¦ Synopsis
A molecular dynamics simulation of a rough sphere fluid with variable roughness is presented from which the intermediate scattering function, orientational correlation functions and velocity autocorrelation functions are calculated for several values of the density, roughness and wave number, The dependence of these correlation functions on the parameters is discussed and a comparison with a neutron scattering experiment on neopentane [C(CH,),] is made, which gives good agreement between the two experiments.

An efficient method for calculating the chemical potential of hard sphere fluids up to high densities by computer simulation is extended to the case of fluids of hard homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomics. The chemical potentials have been simulated at packing fractions up to 7/= 0.45 and used to
Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study the roughness of lipid lamellar phases. These simulations were based on a lipid model with simplified interaction potentials. Various kinds of surface roughness have been observed in systems with different sets of interactio
