Collective Behavior of Intelligent Active Brownian Particles in the Presence of a Static Obstacle
Surya Narayan Sahoo, Arabinda Bera, Jiarul Midya
Using computer simulations, we investigate the collective behavior of two-dimensional active Brownian particles (ABPs) with excluded-volume interactions in the bulk and in the pres…
Anomalous temperature dependence in phase transitions via ballistic coalescence
Nalina Vadakkayil, Sutapa Roy, Jiarul Midya +1
We study kinetics of phase transitions within a single component Lennard-Jones model. For low enough particle densities disconnected clusters form that can move ballistically in an…
Wrapping nonspherical vesicles at bio-membranes
Ajit Kumar Sahu, Rajkumar Malik, Jiarul Midya
The wrapping of particles and vesicles by lipid bilayer membranes is a fundamental process in cellular transport and targeted drug delivery. Here, we investigate the wrapping behav…
Kinetics of Domain Growth and Aging in a Two-Dimensional Off-lattice System
Jiarul Midya, Subir K. Das
We have used molecular dynamics simulations for a comprehensive study of phase separation in a two-dimensional single component off-lattice model where particles interact through t…
Entropic Unmixing in Nematic Blends of Semiflexible Polymers
Andrey Milchev, Sergei A. Egorov, Jiarul Midya +2
Binary mixtures of semiflexible polymers with the same chain length but different persistence lengths separate into two coexisting different nematic phases when the osmotic pressur…
Phase behavior of flexible and semiflexible polymers in solvents of varying quality
Jiarul Midya, Sergei A. Egorov, Kurt Binder +1
The interplay of nematic order and phase separation in solutions of semiflexible polymers in solvents of variable quality is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and mol…
