Continuum theory of electrostatic-elastic coupling interactions in colloidal crystals
Hao Wu, Zhong-Can Ou-Yang, Rudolf Podgornik
A mobile Coulomb gas permeating a fixed background crystalline lattice of charged colloidal crystals is subject to an electrostatic-elastic coupling, which we study on the continuu…

Spontaneous Domain Formation in Spherically-Confined Elastic Filaments
Tine Curk, James Daniel Farrell, Jure Dobnikar +1
Although the free energy of a genome packing into a virus is dominated by DNA-DNA interactions, ordering of the DNA inside the capsid is elasticity-driven, suggesting general solut…
