Density-induced reentrant melting of colloidal Wigner crystals
Jeffrey Everts, Niels Boon, René van Roij
Electrostatic repulsions can drive crystallization in many-particle systems. For charged colloidal systems, the phase boundaries as well as crystal structure are highly tunable by…
Phase diagrams of charged colloidal rods: can a uniaxial charge distribution break chiral symmetry?
Tara Drwenski, Simone Dussi, Michiel Hermes +2
We construct phase diagrams for charged rodlike colloids within the second-virial approximation as a function of rod concentration, salt concentration, and colloidal charge. Beside…
Entropy-driven formation of prolate and oblate cholesteric phases by computer simulations
Simone Dussi, Marjolein Dijkstra
Predicting the macroscopic chiral behaviour of cholesteric liquid crystals from the microscopic chirality of the particles is highly non-trivial, even when the chiral interactions…
Fabricating large two-dimensional single colloidal crystals by doping with active particles
B. van der Meer, L. Filion, M. Dijkstra
Using simulations we explore the behaviour of two-dimensional colloidal (poly)crystals doped with active particles. We show that these active dopants can provide an elegant new rou…
Phase Separation and Self-Assembly in a Fluid of Mickey Mouse Particles
Guido Avvisati, Marjolein Dijkstra
Recent developments in the synthesis of colloidal particles allow for control over shape and inter-particle interaction. One example, among others, is the so-called "Mickey Mouse"…
Self-propulsion mechanism of active Janus particles in near-critical binary mixtures
Sela Samin, René van Roij
Gold-capped Janus particles immersed in a near-critical binary mixture can be propelled using illumination. We employ a non-isothermal diffuse interface approach to investigate the…
