Principal Research Accomplishments
• Development of capillary wave theory for liquid interfaces.
• Creation of fundamental statistical mechanical theory for water and aqueous solutions, and its implementation in computer simulations.
• Discovery of the exact Stillinger-Lovett second moment condition for electrolyte distribution functions.
• First formulation of the “Stillinger cluster” approach to vapor clustering and nucleation.
• Construction of model potential functions for water and atomic silicon, for use in computer simulation studies.
• Development of the Lubachevsky-Stillinger algorithm for computer simulation of rigid-particle packings.
• Mathematical theory for “potential energy landscapes” of condensed-matter phenomena, including introduction of “inherent structures”, their basins, and statistical distributions.
• Discovery of the "polyelectron" singularity that limits convergence of Møller-Plesset quantum perturbation theory.
• Introduction of the first classical statistical mechanical model for “inverse melting”.
• Basic discoveries in particle packing geometry, specifically the highest-known ellipsoid packing density, and proof of stability for "hypostatic" jamming structures with non-spherical particles.
• Creation of "engineered" isotropic potentials for spontaneous assembly of target structures, including honeycomb, simple cubic, and diamond lattices, as well as structures with negative thermal expansion.
• Introduction and analysis of statistical-mechanical models for spontaneous appearance of enantiomorphic excess involving molecules in the early terrestrial environment.
