First-passage time of run-and-tumble particles

L. Angelani, R. Di Leonardo, M. Paoluzzi

We solve the problem of first-passage time for run-and-tumble particles in one dimension. Exact expression is derived for the mean first-passage time in the general case, consideri…

From 3D to 2D Hydrodynamics in Interacting Micro-rods

R. Di Leonardo, E. Cammarota, G. Bolognesi

Moving micron scale objects are strongly coupled to each other by hydrodynamic interactions. The strength of this coupling decays as the inverse particle separation when the two ob…

Colloidal attraction induced by a temperature gradient

R. Di Leonardo, F. Ianni, G. Ruocco

Colloidal crystals are of extreme importance for applied research, such as photonic crystals technology, and for fundamental studies in statistical mechanics. Long range attractive…

Shear banding phenomena in a Laponite suspension

F. Ianni, R. Di Leonardo, S. Gentilini +1

Shear localization in an aqueous clay suspension of Laponite is investigated through dynamic light scattering, which provides access both to the dynamics of the system (homodyne mo…

Parametric Resonance of Optically Trapped Aerosols

R. Di Leonardo, G. Ruocco, J. Leach +5

The Brownian dynamics of an optically trapped water droplet are investigated across the transition from over to under-damped oscillations. The spectrum of position fluctuations evo…

A spectroscopic cell for fast pressure jumps across the glass transition line

R. Di Leonardo, T. Scopigno, G. Ruocco +1

We present a new experimental protocol for the spectroscopic study of the dynamics of glasses in the aging regime induced by sudden pressure jumps (crunches) across the glass trans…
