Differently Shaped Hard Body Colloids in Confinement: From passive to active particles
Henricus H. Wensink, Hartmut Löwen, Matthieu Marechal +5
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of anisotropic hard colloidal particles. The shapes considered range from rods and dumbbells to rounded cubes, polyhedra an…
Crystallizing hard-sphere glasses by doping with active particles
Ran Ni, Martien A. Cohen Stuart, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
Crystallization and vitrification are two different routes to form a solid. Normally these two processes suppress each other, with the glass transition preventing crystallization a…
Highly cooperative stress relaxation in two-dimensional soft colloidal crystals
B. van der Meer, W. Qi, R. Fokkink +3
Stress relaxation in crystalline solids is mediated by the formation and diffusion of defects. While it is well established how externally-generated stresses relax, through the pro…
Through the Eye of the Needle: Recent Advances in Understanding Biopolymer Translocation
Debabrata Panja, Gerard T. Barkema, Anatoly B. Kolomeisky
In recent years polymer translocation, i.e., transport of polymeric molecules through nanometer-sized pores and channels embedded in membranes, has witnessed strong advances. It is…
Two-stage melting induced by dislocations and grain boundaries in Monolayers of Hard Spheres
Weikai Qi, Anjan P. Gantapara, Marjolein Dijkstra
Melting in two-dimensional systems has remained controversial as theory, simulations, and experiments show contrasting results. One issue that obscures this discussion is whether o…
Nematic droplets in aqueous dispersions of carbon nanotubes
Nicolas Puech, Eric Grelet, Philippe Poulin +2
Aqueous dispersions of exfoliated, bile-salt stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes exhibit a first order transition to a nematic liquid-crystalline phase. The nematic phase prese…
