The prey-predator motion of the active droplets
Yibo Chen, Kai Leong Chong, Roberto Verziccoa +1
We present a generic solution for the relative motion of two diffusiophoretic prey-predator particles of arbitrary chemical activity Ai and radius Ri, where i = 1;2 refers to the p…
Arrested on heating: controlling the motility of active droplets by temperature
Prashanth Ramesh, Yibo Chen, Petra Räder +3
Self-propelling active matter relies on the conversion of energy from the undirected, nanoscopic scale to directed, macroscopic motion. One of the challenges in the design of synth…
Buoyancy-driven attraction of active droplets
Yibo Chen, Kai Leong Chong, Haoran Liu +2
Active oil droplets in a liquid are believed to repel due to the Marangoni effect, while buoyancy effects caused by the density difference between the droplets, diffusing product,…
Droplet plume emission during plasmonic bubble growth in ternary liquids
Xiaolai Li, Yibo Chen, Yuliang Wang +4
Plasmonic bubbles are of great relevance in numerous applications, including catalytic reactions, micro/nanomanipulation of molecules or particles dispersed in liquids, and cancer…
Collective entrainment and confinement amplify transport by schooling micro-swimmers
Chenyu Jin, Yibo Chen, Corinna C. Maass +1
Micro-swimmers can serve as cargo carriers that move deep inside complex flow networks. When a school collectively entrains the surrounding fluid, their transport capacity can be e…
Dissolution of microdroplets in a sparsely miscible liquid confined by leaky walls
Jia Ming Zhang, Yibo Chen, Detlef Lohse +1
When a water droplet is deposited within a sparsely miscible liquid medium such as certain oils, the droplet surprisingly vanishes, even in a confined geometry. Such a phenomenon h…
Instabilities driven by diffusio-phoretic flow on catalytic surfaces
Yibo Chen, Kai Leong Chong, Luoqin Liu +2
We theoretically and numerically investigate the instabilities driven by diffusiophoretic flow, caused by a solutal concentration gradient along a reacting surface. The important c…
