Hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals
William Kung, M. Cristina Marchetti, Karl Saunders
Starting from a microscopic definition of an alignment vector proportional to the polarization, we discuss the hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals with local -symm…
Crystalline Particle Packings on a Sphere with Long Range Power Law Potentials
Mark J. Bowick, Angelo Cacciuto, David R. Nelson +1
The original Thomson problem of "spherical crystallography" seeks the ground state of electron shells interacting via the Coulomb potential; however one can also study crystalline…
Short-wavelength collective modes in a binary hard-sphere mixture
M. Cristina Marchetti, Supurna Sinha
We use hard-sphere generalized hydrodynamic equations to discuss the extended hydrodynamic modes of a binary mixture. The theory presented here is analytic and it provides us with…
Mode-coupling theory of the stress-tensor autocorrelation function of a dense binary fluid mixture
Supurna Sinha, M. Cristina Marchetti
We present a generalized mode-coupling theory for a dense binary fluid mixture. The theory is used to calculate molecular-scale renormalizations to the stress-tensor autocorrelatio…
Nematic and Polar order in Active Filament Solutions
A. Ahmadi, T. B. Liverpool, M. C. Marchetti
Using a microscopic model of interacting polar biofilaments and motor proteins, we characterize the phase diagram of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous states in terms of experimen…
Direct Visualization of Dislocation Dynamics in Grain Boundary Scars
Peter Lipowsky, Mark J. Bowick, Jan H. Meinke +2
Mesoscale objects with unusual structural features may serve as the analogues of atoms in the design of larger-scale materials with novel optical, electronic or mechanical behaviou…
