Model-free measurement of the pair potential in colloidal fluids using optical microscopy

We report a straightforward, model-free approach for measuring pair potentials from particle-coordinate data, based on enforcing consistency between the pair distribution function measured separately by the distance-histogram and test-particle insertion routes. We demonstrate the method’s accuracy a...
