Dynamics of individual Brownian rods in a microchannel flow
Andreas Zöttl, Kira E. Klop, Andrew K. Balin +3
We study the orientational dynamics of heavy silica microrods flowing through a microfluidic channel. Comparing experiments and Brownian dynamics simulations we identify different…
Biopolymer dynamics driven by helical flagella
Andrew Kaan Balin, Andreas Zöttl, Julia M. Yeomans +1
Microbial flagellates typically inhabit complex suspensions of polymeric material which can impact the swimming speed of motile microbes, filter-feeding of sessile cells, and the g…
Thermal analogue of gimbal lock in a colloidal ferromagnetic Janus rod
Yongxiang Gao, Andrew Kaan Balin, Roel P. A. Dullens +2
We report an entropy-driven orientational hopping transition in a magnetically confined colloidal Janus rod. In a magnetic field, the sedimented rod randomly hops between horizonta…
