Self-assembly of "Mickey Mouse" shaped colloids into tube-like structures: experiments and simulations

Joost R. Wolters, Guido Avvisati, Fabian Hagemans +4

The self-assembly of anisotropic patchy particles with triangular shape was studied by experiments and computer simulations. The colloidal particles were synthesized in a two-step…

Phase Behavior of a Family of Truncated Hard Cubes

Anjan P. Gantapara, Joost de Graaf, René van Roij +1

In continuation of our work in [A.P. Gantapara et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 015501 (2013)], we investigate here the thermodynamic phase behavior of a family of truncated hard cube…

Self-Assembly of Patchy Colloidal Dumbbells

Guido Avvisati, Teun Vissers, Marjolein Dijkstra

We employ Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the self-assembly of patchy colloidal dumbbells interacting via a modified Kern-Frenkel potential by probing the system concentrati…

Cholesterics of colloidal helices: Predicting the macroscopic pitch from the particle shape and thermodynamic state

Simone Dussi, Simone Belli, René van Roij +1

Building a general theoretical framework to describe the microscopic origin of macroscopic chirality in (colloidal) liquid crystals is a long-standing challenge. Here, we combine c…

Fundamental measure theory for the electric double layer: implications for blue-energy harvesting and water desalination

Andreas Härtel, Mathijs Janssen, Sela Samin +1

Capacitive mixing (CAPMIX) and capacitive deionization (CDI) are promising candidates for harvesting clean, renewable energy and for the energy efficient production of potable wate…

Efficient simulation of semiflexible polymers

Debabrata Panja, Gerard T. Barkema, J. M. J. van Leeuwen

Using a recently developed bead-spring model for semiflexible polymers that takes into account their natural extensibility, we report an efficient algorithm to simulate the dynamic…
