<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Soft Condensed Matter group <br>Soft
condensed matter systems are materials which deform easily under the
influence of external fields such as electric fields, shear or gravity.
They contain structures with length scales that are much larger than
atomic or molecular dimensions, and display dynamics that are much
slower. Nevertheless, their structure and dynamics are still governed by
thermal fluctuations. We study the physics of soft matter model systems,
mostly colloids, and, using these insights, fabricate new mesostructured
materials from them. Our research tools consist of confocal microscopy,
scattering methods, colloid synthesis, computer simulations, and theory.
The group is part of the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science which
has a focus on colloids, nanophotonics and catalysis and applies its
fundamental knowledge in the area of sustainability (DINS; </font><a href="http://www.uu.nl/science/Debye" target="_blank"><font size="2" face="Arial">www.uu.nl/science/Debye</font></a><font size="2" face="Arial">).

density functional theory (DFT) Car-Parrinello approaches,
coarse-grained particle/solvent methods to describe hydrodynamics
(Multiparticle collision dynamics, stochastic rotation dynamics, lattice
Boltzmann, or dissipative particle dynamics), or multiscale modeling
techniques are encouraged to apply. Research in the SCM group is lead by

intertwined, areas of research, two new parallel lines of research have
been introduced in recent years, namely Cosmology and Soft Condensed

relatively broad orientation of the Institute is beneficial to both
