Predator-Prey Interactions between Droplets Driven by Nonreciprocal Oil Exchange
Caleb H. Meredith, Pepijn G. Moerman, Jan Groenewold +4
Chemotactic interactions are ubiquitous in nature and can lead to nonreciprocal and complex emergent behavior in multibody systems. Here we show how chemotactic signaling between m…
Femtosecond laser produced periodic plasma in a colloidal crystal probed by XFEL radiation
Nastasia Mukharamova, Sergey Lazarev, Janne-Mieke Meijer +20
With the rapid development of short-pulse intense laser sources, studies of matter under extreme irradiation conditions enter further unexplored regimes. In addition, an applicatio…
The role of friction in the yielding of adhesive non-Brownian suspensions
J. A. Richards, B. M. Guy, E. Blanco +3
Yielding behavior is well known in attractive colloidal suspensions. Adhesive non-Brownian suspensions, in which the interparticle bonds are due to finite-size contacts, also show…
Geometric percolation of hard nanorods: the interplay of spontaneous and externally induced uniaxial particle alignment
Shari P. Finner, Ilian Pihlajamaa, Paul van der Schoot
We present a numerical study on geometric percolation in liquid dispersions of hard slender colloidal particles subjected to an external orienting field. In the formulation and liq…
Experimental Evidence for Algebraic Double-Layer Forces
Biljana Stojimirovic, Mark Vis, Remco Tuinier +2
According to conventional wisdom electric double-layer forces normally decay exponentially with separation distance. Here we present experimental evidence of algebraically decaying…
Electric-Double-Layer-Modulation Microscopy
Kevin Namink, Xuanhui Meng, Marc T. M. Koper +2
The electric double layer (EDL) formed around charged nanostructures at the liquid-solid interface determines their electrochemical activity and influences their electrical and opt…
Using patchy particles to prevent local rearrangements in models of non-equilibrium colloidal gels
Jasper N. Immink, J. J. Erik Maris, Peter Schurtenberger +1
Simple models based on isotropic interparticle attractions often fail to capture experimentally observed structures of colloidal gels formed through spinodal decomposition and subs…
Unusual geometric percolation of hard nanorods in the uniaxial nematic liquid crystalline phase
Shari P. Finner, Arshia Atashpendar, Tanja Schilling +1
We investigate by means of continuum percolation theory and Monte Carlo simulations how spontaneous uniaxial symmetry breaking affects geometric percolation in dispersions of hard…
Tunable active rotational diffusion in swimming droplets
Adrien Izzet, Pepijn Moerman, Jan Groenewold +2
Here we characterize the motility of athermal swimming droplets within the framework of active rotational diffusion. Just like active colloids, their trajectories can be modeled wi…
Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction studies of lipid-peptide mixed monolayers during shear flow
Pradip Kumar Bera, Ajoy Kumar Kandar, Rema Krishnaswamy +7
Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD) studies of monolayers of biomolecules at the air-water interface give quantitative information of in-plane packing, coherence lengths of…
Granulation and suspension rheology: a unified treatment
Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes, Elena Blanco +1
Mixing a small amount of liquid into a powder can give rise to dry-looking granules; increasing the amount of liquid eventually produces a flowing suspension. We perform experiment…
The role of topological defects in the two-stage melting and elastic behavior of active Brownian particles
Siddharth Paliwal, Marjolein Dijkstra
We find that crystalline states of repulsive active Brownian particles at high activity melt into a hexatic state but this transition is not driven by an unbinding of bound disloca…
Unsupervised learning for local structure detection in colloidal systems
Emanuele Boattini, Marjolein Dijkstra, Laura Filion
We introduce a simple, fast, and easy to implement unsupervised learning algorithm for detecting different local environments on a single-particle level in colloidal systems. In th…
Softness suppresses fivefold symmetry and enhances crystallization of binary Laves phases in nearly hard spheres
Tonnishtha Dasgupta, Gabriele M. Coli, Marjolein Dijkstra
Colloidal crystals with a diamond and pyrochlore structure display wide photonic band gaps at low refractive index contrasts. However, these low-coordinated and open structures are…
Binary icosahedral quasicrystals of hard spheres in spherical confinement
Da Wang, Tonnishtha Dasgupta, Ernest B. van der Wee +8
The influence of geometry on the local and global packing of particles is important to many fundamental and applied research themes such as the structure and stability of liquids,…
Self-organisation of tip functionalised elongated colloidal particles
Mariana Oshima Menegon, Guido L. A. Kusters, Paul van der Schoot
Weakly attractive interactions between the tips of rod-like colloidal particles affect their liquid-crystal phase behaviour due to a subtle interplay between enthalpy and entropy.…
Inverse design of charged colloidal particle interactions for self assembly into specified crystal structures
Rajneesh Kumar, Gabriele M. Coli, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
We study the inverse problem of tuning interaction parameters between charged colloidal particles interacting with a hard-core repulsive Yukawa potential, so that they assemble int…
Compound redistribution due to droplet evaporation on a thin polymeric film: theory
Thijs W. G. van der Heijden, Anton A. Darhuber, Paul van der Schoot
A thin polymeric film in contact with a fluid body may leach low-molecular-weight compounds into the fluid. If this fluid is a small droplet, the compound concentration within the…
Reversible Formation of Thermoresponsive Binary Particle Gels with Tunable Structural and Mechanical Properties
Jasper N. Immink, J. J. Erik Maris, Jérôme J. Crassous +2
We investigate the collective behavior of suspended thermoresponsive microgels, that expel solvent and subsequently decrease in size upon heating. Using a binary mixture of differe…
Hydrodynamic Mobility Reversal of Squirmers near Flat and Curved Surfaces
Michael Kuron, Philipp Stärk, Christian Holm +1
Self-propelled particles have been experimentally shown to orbit spherical obstacles and move along surfaces. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate this behavior for a…
Directing liquid crystalline self-organization of rod-like particles through tunable attractive single tips
Andrii Repula, Mariana Oshima Menegon, Cheng Wu +2
Dispersions of rodlike colloidal particles exhibit a plethora of liquid crystalline states, including nematic, smectic A, smectic B, and columnar phases. This phase behavior can be…
Bridging the Gap: 3D Real-Space Characterization of Colloidal Assemblies via FIB-SEM Tomography
Jessi E. S. van der Hoeven, Ernest B. van der Wee, D. A. Matthijs de Winter +8
Insight in the structure of nanoparticle assemblies up to a single particle level is key to understand the collective properties of these assemblies, which critically depend on the…
Connectivity, Not Density, Dictates Percolation in Nematic Liquid Crystals of Slender Nanoparticles
Shari P. Finner, Tanja Schilling, Paul van der Schoot
We show by means of continuum theory and simulations that geometric percolation in uniaxial nematics of hard slender particles is fundamentally different from that in isotropic dis…
Conching chocolate: A prototypical transition from frictionally jammed solid to flowable suspension with maximal solid content
Elena Blanco, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes +6
The mixing of a powder of 10-50μm primary particles into a liquid to form a dispersion with the highest possible solid content is a common industrial operation. Building on recent…
