Pairwise and collective behavior between model swimmers at intermediate Reynolds numbers

Thomas Dombrowski, Hong Nguyen, Daphne Klotsa

We computationally studied the pair interactions and collective behavior of asymmetric, dumbbell swimmers over a range of intermediate Reynolds numbers and initial configurations.…

Computer simulations of colloidal gels: how hindered particle rotation affects structure and rheology

Hong T. Nguyen, Alan L. Graham, Peter H. Koenig +1

The effects of particle roughness and short-ranged non-central forces on colloidal gels are studied using computer simulations in which particles experience a sinusoidal variation…

Factors influencing thermal solidification of bent-core trimers

Elvin D. Salcedo, Hong T. Nguyen, Robert S. Hoy

Bent-core trimers are a simple model system for which the competition between crystallization and glass-formation can be tuned by varying a single parameter:\ the bond angle .…

Isostaticity and the solidification of semiflexible polymer melts

Christian O. Plaza-Rivera, Hong T. Nguyen, Robert S. Hoy

Using molecular dynamics simulations of a tangent-soft-sphere bead-spring polymer model, we examine the degree to which semiflexible polymer melts solidify at isostaticity. Flexibl…

Effect of chain stiffness on the dynamics and microstructure of crystallizable bead-spring polymer melts

Hong T. Nguyen, Robert S. Hoy

We constrast the dynamics in model unentangled polymer melts of chains of three different stiffnesses: flexible, intermediate, and rodlike. Flexible and rodlike chains, which readi…

Effect of chain stiffness on the competition between crystallization and glass-formation in model colloidal polymers

Hong T. Nguyen, Tyler B. Smith, Robert S. Hoy +1

We map out the solid-state morphologies formed by model soft-pearl-necklace polymers as a function of bending stiffness spanning the range from fully flexible to rodlike chai…
