Thick liquid crystalline cholesteric shells
Arda Bulut, Yusuf Sariyar, Giuseppe Negro +1
We numerically investigate the phase behavior of thick shells of cholesteric liquid crystals with tangential anchoring at the shell boundary. For achiral liquid crystal, we demonst…
Fluctuation Theorems for Heat exchanges between passive and active baths
Massimiliano Semeraro, Antonio Suma, Giuseppe Negro
In addition to providing general constraints on probability distributions, fluctuation theorems allow to infer essential information on the role played by temperature in heat excha…
Entropy production of active Brownian particles going from liquid to hexatic and solid phases
Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro, Antonio Suma +2
Due to its inherent intertwinement with irreversibility, entropy production is a prime observable to monitor in systems of active particles. In this numerical study, entropy produc…
3D active nematic disclinations behave as Majorana quasiparticles
Louise C. Head, Giuseppe Negro, Livio N. Carenza +7
Quasiparticles are low-energy excitations with important roles in condensed matter physics. An intriguing example is provided by Majorana fermions, quasiparticles which are identic…
Controlling flow patterns and topology in active emulsions
Giuseppe Negro, Louise C. Head, Livio N. Carenza +4
Active emulsions and liquid crystalline shells are intriguing and experimentally realisable types of topological matter. Here we numerically study the morphology and spatiotemporal…
