Influence of polymer-excluded volume on the phase-behavior of colloid-polymer mixtures.

We determine the depletion-induced phase-behavior of hard-sphere colloids and interacting polymers by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations using very accurate coarse-graining techniques. A comparison with standard Asakura-Oosawa model theories and simulations shows that including excluded-volume inte...
