Learning the bulk and interfacial physics of liquid-liquid phase separation with neural density functionals
Silas Robitschko, Florian Sammüller, Matthias Schmidt +1
We use simulation-based supervised machine learning and classical density functional theory to investigate bulk and interfacial phenomena associated with phase coexistence in binar…
Structural signatures of ultrastability in a deposited glassformer
Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli, C. Patrick Royall +1
Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics si…
Active Brownian Particles in Random and Porous Environments
Fergus J. Moore, John Russo Tanniemola B. Liverpool, C. Patrick Royall
The transport of active particles may occur in complex environments, in which it emerges from the interplay between the mobility of the active components and the quenched disorder…
The rheology of confined colloidal hard discs
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Hartmut Löwen +2
Colloids may be treated as `big atoms' so that they are good models for atomic and molecular systems. Colloidal hard disks are therefore good models for 2d materials and although t…
Direct Imaging of Contacts and Forces in Colloidal Gels
Jun Dong, Francesco Turci, Robert L. Jack +2
Colloidal dispersions are prized as model systems to understand basic properties of materials, and are central to a wide range of industries from cosmetics to foods to agrichemical…
Protein-Polymer Mixtures in the Colloid Limit: Aggregation, Sedimentation and Crystallization
Rui Cheng, Jingwen Li, Ioatzin Ríos de Anda +5
While proteins have been treated as particles with a spherically symmetric interaction, of course in reality the situation is rather more complex. A simple step towards higher comp…
Real Space Analysis of Colloidal Gels: Triumphs, Challenges and Future Directions
C. Patrick Royall, Malcolm A. Faers, Sian L. Fussell +1
Colloidal gels constitute an important class of materials found in many contexts and with a wide range of applications. Yet as matter far from equilibrium, gels exhibit a variety o…
Isomorphs in nanoconfined liquids
Benjamin M. G. D. Carter, C. Patrick Royall, Jeppe C. Dyre +1
We study in this paper the possible existence of Roskilde-simple liquids and their isomorphs in a rough-wall nanoconfinement. Isomorphs are curves in the thermodynamic phase diagra…
Flexible confinement leads to multiple relaxation regimes in glassy colloidal liquids
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Paul Bartlettl +2
Understanding relaxation of supercooled fluids is a major challenge and confining such systems can lead to bewildering behaviour. Here we exploit an optically confined colloidal mo…
The Devil is in the details: Pentagonal bipyramids and dynamic arrest
James E. Hallett, Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall
Colloidal suspensions have long been studied as a model for atomic and molecular systems, due to the ability to fluorescently label and individually track each particle, yielding p…
Electroadhesion for soft adhesive pads and robotics: theory and numerical results
Bo N. J. Persson, Jianglong Guo
Soft adhesive pads are needed for many robotics applications, and one approach is based on electroadhesion. Here we present a general analytic model and numerical results for elect…
Oil-in-water microfluidics on the colloidal scale: new routes to self-assembly and glassy packings
Max Meissner, Jun Dong, Jens Eggers +2
We have developed Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA) flow focusing devices, making use of the excellent solvent compatibility and surface properties of NOA to generate micron scale oil…
Strong geometric frustration in model glassformers
C. Patrick Royall, Alex Malins, Andrew J. Dunleavy +1
We consider three popular model glassformers, the Kob-Andersen and Wahnström binary Lennard-Jones models and weakly polydisperse hard spheres. Although these systems exhibit a rang…
Structural characterisation of polycrystalline colloidal monolayers in the presence of aspherical impurities
Andrew T. Gray, Elizabeth Mould, C. Patrick Royall +1
Impurities in crystalline materials introduce disorder into an otherwise ordered structure due to the formation of lattice defects and grain boundaries. The properties of the resul…
The role of local structure in dynamical arrest
C. Patrick Royall, Stephen R. Williams
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers…
Counterion Condensation on Spheres in the Salt-free Limit
David A. J. Gillespie, James E. Hallett, Oluwapemi Elujoba +3
A highly-charged spherical colloid in a salt-free environment exerts such a powerful attraction on its counterions that a certain fraction condenses onto the surface of a particle.…
Identification of long-lived clusters and their link to slow dynamics in a model glass former
Alex Malins, Jens Eggers, C. Patrick Royall +2
We study the relationship between local structural ordering and dynamical heterogeneities in a model glass-forming liquid, the Wahnstrom mixture. A novel cluster-based approach is…
Binary non-additive hard sphere mixtures: Fluid demixing, asymptotic decay of correlations and free fluid interfaces
Paul Hopkins, Matthias Schmidt
Using a fundamental measure density functional theory we investigate both bulk and inhomogeneous systems of the binary non-additive hard sphere model. For sufficiently large (posit…
Generalized effective depletion potentials
A. A. Louis, R. Roth
We propose that the behavior of asymmetric binary fluid mixtures with a large class of attractive or repulsive interparticle interactions can be understood by mapping onto effectiv…
