Reentrance effect in the lane formation of driven colloids

Abstract

Recently it has been shown that a strongly interacting colloidal mixture consisting of oppositely driven particles, undergoes a nonequilibrium transition towards lane formation provided the driving strength exceeds a threshold value. We predict here a reentrance effect in lane formation: for fixed high driving force and increasing particle densities, there is first a transition towards lane formation which is followed by another transition back to a state with no lanes. Our result is obtained both by Brownian dynamics computer simulations and by a phenomenological dynamical density functional theory.
