Shear-induced first-order transition in polar liquid crystals
Tomer Markovich, Elsen Tjhung, Michael E. Cates
The hydrodynamic theory of polar liquid crystals is widely used to describe biological active fluids as well as passive molecular materials. Depending on the `shear-alignment param…
Dielectric Constant of Ionic Solutions: Combined Effects of Correlations and Excluded Volume
Ram M. Adar, Tomer Markovich, Amir Levy +2
The dielectric constant of ionic solutions is known to reduce with increasing ionic concentrations. However, the origin of this effect has not been thoroughly explored. In this pap…
Charge Regulating Macro-ions in Salt Solutions: Screening Properties and Electrostatic Interactions
Yael Avni, David Andelman, Tomer Markovich +1
We revisit the charge-regulation mechanism of macro-ions and apply it to mobile macro-ions in a bathing salt solution. In particular, we examine the effects of correlation between…
Surface Pressure of Charged Colloids at the Air/Water Interface
Aviv Karnieli, Tomer Markovich, David Andelman
Charged colloidal monolayers at the interface between water and air (or oil) are used in a large number of chemical, physical and biological applications. Although a considerable e…
