Surface force apparatus (SFA) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) can measure a force curve between a substrate and a probe in liquid. However, the force curve had not been transformed to the number density distribution of solvent molecules (colloidal particles) on the substance due to the absence of such a transform theory. Recently, we proposed and developed the transform theories for SFA and AFM. In these theories, the force curve is transformed to the pressure between two flat walls. Next, the pressure is transformed to number density distribution of solvent molecules (colloidal particles). However, pair potential between the solvent molecule (colloidal particle) and the wall is needed as the input of the calculation and Kirkwood superposition approximation is used in the previous theories. In this letter, we propose a new theory that does not use both the pair potential and the approximation. Instead, it makes use of a structure factor between solvent molecules (colloidal particles) which can be obtained by X-ray or neutron scattering.

Recently, an Enskog-type kinetic theory for Vicsek-type models for self-propelled particles has been proposed [T. Ihle, Phys. Rev. E 83, 030901 (2011)]. This theory is based on an exact equation for a Markov chain in phase space and is not limited to small density. Previously, the hydrodynamic equations were derived from this theory and its transport coefficients were given in terms of infinite series. Here, I show that the transport coefficients take a simple form in the large density limit. This allows me to analytically evaluate the well-known density instability of the polarly ordered phase near the flocking threshold at moderate and large densities. The growth rate of a longitudinal perturbation is calculated and several scaling regimes, including three different power laws, are identified. It is shown that at large densities, the restabilization of the ordered phase at smaller noise is analytically accessible within the range of validity of the hydrodynamic theory. Analytical predictions for the width of the unstable band, the maximum growth rate and for the wave number below which the instability occurs are given. In particular, the system size below which spatial perturbations of the homogeneous ordered state are stable is predicted to scale with $sqrt{M}$ where $M$ is the average number of collision partners. The typical time scale until the instability becomes visible is calculated and is proportional to M.
We suggest a transform theory for calculating a density distribution of small colloids around a large colloid from a force curve between the two-large colloids. The main idea (calculation process) is that the force curve between the two-large colloid s is converted into the pressure on the surface element of the large colloid. This conversion is different from the celebrated Derjaguin approximation. A numerical matrix calculation is performed in the conversion to calculate it more precisely. Subsequently, the pressure on the surface element is transformed into the density distribution of the small colloids around the large colloid by using a transform theory for surface force apparatus proposed by Amano. In this letter, the process of the transformation is explained and a prototype result of the transformation is shown.

Recently, we proposed a method that converts the force between two-large colloids into the pressure on the surface element (FPSE conversion) in a system of a colloidal solution. Using it, the density distribution of the small colloids around the larg e colloid is calculated. In a similar manner, in this letter, we propose a transform theory for colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (colloidal probe AFM), which transforms the force acting on the colloidal probe into the density distribution of the small colloids on a flat surface. If measured condition is proper one, in our view, it is possible for the transform theory to be applied for liquid AFM and obtain the liquid structure. The transform theory we derived is briefly explained in this letter.
In the short letter, we explain an improved transform theory for colloidal-probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM). CP-AFM can measure a force curve between the colloidal probe and a wall surface in a colloidal dispersion. The transform theory can est imate the normalized number density distribution of the colloidal particles on the wall from the force curve measured by CP-AFM. The transform theory is important for study of the stratification of the colloidal particles on the wall, which is related to fundamental studies of colloidal crystal and glass.
Line optical tweezer and colloidal-probe atomic force microscopy can measure force curves between two large colloidal particles of chemically the same surfaces in a suspension of small colloidal particles. Recently, the authors proposed a transform t heory to obtain the number density distribution of the small colloidal particles on the large colloidal particle from the force curve. In this short letter, we propose another method which utilizes Ornstein-Zernike equation coupled with a closure equation instead of Kirkwood superposition approximation. The new transform theory uses a structure factor measured by x-ray or neutron scattering, and applies Nelder-Mead method to find the solution. Since it is known that Ornstein-Zernike equation coupled with the closure equation is accurate compared with Kirkwood superposition approximation, the new transform theory is theoretically better than the previous methods when the structure factor and the closure equation are reliable.
