Oscillatory driven colloidal binary mixtures: axial segregation versus laning
Adam Wysocki, Hartmut Löwen
Using Brownian dynamics computer simulations we show that binary mixtures of colloids driven in opposite directions by an oscillating external field exhibit axial segregation in sh…
Josephson-current induced conformational switching of a molecular quantum dot
A. Zazunov, A. Schulz, R. Egger
We discuss the behavior of a two-level system coupled to a quantum dot contacted by superconducting source/drain electrodes, representing a simple model for the conformational degr…
Dynamics of lane formation in driven binary complex plasmas
K. R. Sütterlin, A. Wysocki, A. V. Ivlev +10
The dynamical onset of lane formation is studied in experiments with binary complex plasmas under microgravity conditions. Small microparticles are driven and penetrate into a clou…
Nano-scale brushes: How to build a smart surface coating
Holger Merlitz, Gui-Li He, Chen-Xu Wu +1
Via computer simulations, we demonstrate how a densely grafted layer of polymers, a {\it brush}, could be turned into an efficient switch through chemical modification of some of i…
Electrostatics in soft matter
Rene Messina
Recent progress in the understanding of the effect of electrostatics in soft matter is presented. A vast amount of materials contains ions ranging from the molecular scale (e.g., e…
Non-equilibrium melting of colloidal crystals in confinement
Enrique Villanova-Vidal, Thomas Palberg, Hans Joachim Schöpe +1
We report on a novel and flexible experiment to investigate the non-equilibrium melting behaviour of model crystals made from charged colloidal spheres. In a slit geometry polycrys…
