Machine Learning Assisted Sorting of Active Microswimmers
Abdolhalim Torrik, Mahdi Zarif
Active matter systems being in a non-equilibrium state, exhibit complex behaviors such as self-organization and giving rise to emergent phenomena. There are many examples of active…
Thermodynamics, structure and dynamics of cylindrically confined hard spheres: The role of excess helical twist
Mahdi Zarif, Richard K. Bowles
Hard spheres confined to narrow quasi-one-dimensional cylindrical channels form perfect helical structures at close packing. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulation to show that…
Is there a Granular Potential?
Josh M. Gramlich, Mahdi Zarif, Richard K. Bowles
Granular materials, such as sand or grain, exhibit many structural and dynamic characteristics similar to those observed in molecular systems, despite temperature playing no role i…
Inherent Structure Landscape of Hard Spheres Confined to Narrow Cylindrical Channels
Mahdi Zarif, Raymond J. Spiteri, Richard K. Bowles
The inherent structure landscape for a system of hard spheres confined to a hard cylindrical channel, such that spheres can only contact their first and second neighbours, is studi…
Effective interactions between inclusions in a chiral active bath inside a channel
Abdolhalim Torrik, Ali Naji, Mahdi Zarif
Colloidal inclusions suspended in a bath of smaller particles experience an effective bath-mediated attraction at small intersurface separations, which is known as the depletion in…
Mapping diffusivity of narrow channels into one-dimension
Mahdi Zarif, Richard K. Bowles
The diffusion of particles trapped in long narrow channels occurs predominantly in one dimension. Here, molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the inertial dynamics of two-…
Confinement-induced alternating interactions between inclusions in an active fluid
Mahdi Zarif, Ali Naji
In a system of colloidal inclusions suspended in a thermalized bath of smaller particles, the bath engenders an attractive force between the inclusions, arising mainly from entropi…
