Classifying the age of a glass based on structural properties: A machine learning approach
Giulia Janzen, Casper Smit, Samantha Visbeek +5
It is well established that physical aging of amorphous solids is governed by a marked change in dynamical properties as the material becomes older. Conversely, structural properti…
Dead or alive: Distinguishing active from passive particles using supervised learning
Giulia Janzen, Xander L. J. A. Smeets, Vincent E. Debets +4
A longstanding open question in the field of dense disordered matter is how precisely structure and dynamics are related to each other. With the advent of machine learning, it has…
Generalized Mode-Coupling Theory for Mixtures of Brownian Particles
Vincent E. Debets, Chengjie Luo, Simone Ciarella +1
Generalized mode-coupling theory (GMCT) has recently emerged as a promising first-principles theory to study the poorly understood dynamics of glass-forming materials. Formulated a…
Multi-component generalized mode-coupling theory: Predicting dynamics from structure in glassy mixtures
Simone Ciarella, Chengjie Luo, Vincent E. Debets +1
The emergence of glassy dynamics and the glass transition in dense disordered systems is still not fully understood theoretically. Mode-coupling theory (MCT) has shown to be effect…
Interface-induced hysteretic volume phase transition of microgels: simulation and experiment
Jannis Kolker, Johannes Harrer, Simone Ciarella +5
Thermo-responsive microgel particles can exhibit a drastic volume shrinkage upon increasing the solvent temperature. Recently we found that the spreading of poly(N-isopropylacrylam…
Soft particles at liquid interfaces: From molecular particle architecture to collective phase behavior
Simone Ciarella, Marcel Rey, Johannes Harrer +5
Soft particles such as microgels and core-shell particles can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a comple…
Associative bond swaps in molecular dynamics
Simone Ciarella, Wouter G. Ellenbroek
We implement a three-body potential to model associative bond swaps, and release it as part of the HOOMD-blue software. The use of a three-body potential to model swaps has been pr…
Understanding, predicting, and tuning the fragility of vitrimeric polymers
Simone Ciarella, Rutger A. Biezemans, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
Fragility is an empirical property that describes how abruptly a glass-forming material solidifies upon supercooling. The degree of fragility carries important implications for the…
Stimuli-responsive behavior of PNiPAm microgels under interfacial confinement
Johannes Harrer, Marcel Rey, Simone Ciarella +3
The volume phase transition of microgels is one of the most paradigmatic examples of stimuli-responsiveness, enabling a collapse from a highly swollen microgel state into a densely…
Dynamics of vitrimers: defects as a highway to stress relaxation
Simone Ciarella, Francesco Sciortino, Wouter G. Ellenbroek
We propose a coarse-grained model to investigate stress relaxation in star-polymer networks induced by dynamic bond exchange processes. We show how the swapping mechanism, once act…
