Thermophoretic motion of a charged single colloidal particle
Daniel B. Mayer, Dieter Braun, Thomas Franosch
We calculate the thermophoretic drift of a charged single colloidal particle with hydrodynamically slipping surface immersed in an electrolyte solution in response to a small tempe…
Diffusion of Colloidal Rods in Corrugated Channels
Xiang Yang, Qian Zhu, Chang Liu +5
In many natural and artificial devices diffusive transport takes place in confined geometries with corrugated boundaries. Such boundaries cause both entropic and hydrodynamic effec…
Taxis of Artificial Swimmers in a Spatio-Temporally Modulated Activation Medium
Alexander Geiseler, Peter Hänggi, Fabio Marchesoni
Contrary to microbial taxis, where a tactic response to external stimuli is controlled by complex chemical pathways acting like sensor-actuator loops, taxis of artificial microswim…
Self-Polarizing Microswimmers in Active Density Waves
Alexander Geiseler, Peter Hänggi, Fabio Marchesoni
An artificial microswimmer drifts in response to spatio-temporal modulations of an activating suspension medium. We consider two competing mechanisms capable of influencing its tac…
Chemotaxis of artificial microswimmers in active density waves
Alexander Geiseler, Peter Hänggi, Fabio Marchesoni +2
Living microorganisms are capable of a tactic response to external stimuli by swimming towards or away from the stimulus source; they do so by adapting their tactic signal transduc…
Dynamics of a Semiflexible Polymer or Polymer Ring in Shear Flow
Philipp S. Lang, Benedikt Obermayer, Erwin Frey
Polymers exposed to shear flow exhibit a rich tumbling dynamics. While rigid rods rotate on Jeffery orbits, flexible polymers stretch and coil up during tumbling. Theoretical resul…
