Phase transitions in chromatin: mesoscopic and mean-field approaches
Reda Tiani, Marie Jardat, Vincent Dahirel
By means of a minimal physical model, we investigate the interplay of two phase transitions at play in chromatin organization: (1) liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) within the…
Conditions for the propulsion of a colloid surrounded by a mesoscale phase separation
Jeanne Decayeux, Marie Jardat, Pierre Illien +1
We study a two-dimensional model of an active isotropic colloid whose propulsion is linked to the interactions between solute particles of the bath. The colloid catalyzes a chemica…
Spontaneous propulsion of an isotropic colloid in a phase-separating environment
Jeanne Decayeux, Vincent Dahirel, Marie Jardat +1
The motion of active colloids is generally achieved through their anisotropy, as exemplified by Janus colloids. Recently, there was a growing interest in the propulsion of isotropi…
Coarse-grained Models of Aqueous Solutions of Polyelectrolytes: Significance of Explicit Charges
Pauline Bacle, Marie Jardat, Virginie Marry +3
The structure of polyelectrolytes is highly sensitive to small changes in the interactions between its monomers. In particular, interactions mediated by counterions play a signific…
Can we describe charged nanoparticles with electrolyte theories? Insight from mesoscopic simulation techniques
Vincent Dahirel, Olivier Bernard, Marie Jardat
Electrolyte theories enable to describe the structural and dynamical properties of simple electrolytes in solution, such as sodium chloride in water. Using these theories for aqueo…
Hydrodynamic interactions between solutes in multiparticle collision dynamics
Vincent Dahirel, Xudong Zhao, Baptiste Couet +2
Multiparticle collision dynamics (MPCD) enables to simulate fluid dynamics including both hydrodynamics and thermal fluctuations. Its main use concerns complex fluids, where the so…
