Effective shape and phase behaviour of short charged rods

Eelco Eggen, Marjolein Dijkstra, René van Roij

We explicitly calculate the orientation-dependent second virial coefficient of short charged rods in an electrolytic solvent, assuming the rod-rod interactions to be a pairwise sum…

Stability of additive-free water-in-oil emulsions

Jos Zwanikken, Joost de Graaf, Markus Bier +1

We calculate ion distributions near a planar oil-water interface within non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, taking into account the Born self-energy of the ions in the two media.…

Crystallization and gelation in colloidal systems with short-ranged attractive interactions

Andrea Fortini, Eduardo Sanz, Marjolein Dijkstra

We systematically study the relationship between equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase diagrams of a system of short-ranged attractive colloids. Using Monte Carlo and Brownian dyna…

Curvature dependence of the electrolytic liquid-liquid interfacial tension

Markus Bier, Joost de Graaf, Jos Zwanikken +1

The interfacial tension of a liquid droplet surrounded by another liquid in the presence of microscopic ions is studied as a function of the droplet radius. An analytical expressio…

Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Single polymer Adsorption to Solid Surfaces

Debabrata Panja, Gerard T. Barkema, Anatoly B. Kolomeisky

Adsorption of polymers to surfaces is crucial for understanding many fundamental processes in nature. Recent experimental studies indicate that the adsorption dynamics is dominated…

Spontaneous Charging and Crystallization of Water Droplets in Oil

Joost de Graaf, Jos Zwanikken, Markus Bier +4

We study the spontaneous charging and the crystallization of spherical micron-sized water-droplets dispersed in oil by numerically solving, within a Poisson-Boltzmann theory in the…
