Environmental Memory Boosts Group Formation of Clueless Individuals
Cristóvão S. Dias, Manish Trivedi, Giovanni Volpe +2
The formation of groups of interacting individuals improves performance and fitness in many decentralised systems, from micro-organisms to social insects, from robotic swarms to ar…
Percolation in binary mixtures of linkers and particles: chaining {\it {vs}} branching
M. Gouveia, C. S. Dias, J. M. Tavares
Equilibrium gels of colloidal particles can be realized through the introduction of a second species, a linker that mediates the bonds between the colloids. A gel forming binary mi…
Optimal number of linkers per monomer in linker-mediated aggregation
G. C. Antunes, C. S. Dias, M. M. Telo da Gama +1
We study the dynamics of diffusion-limited irreversible aggregation of monomers, where bonds are mediated by linkers. We combine kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice model…
Crossover from three- to six-fold symmetry of colloidal aggregates in circular traps
T. Geigenfeind, C. S. Dias, M. M. Telo da Gama +2
At sufficiently low temperatures and high densities, repulsive spherical particles in two-dimensions (2d) form close-packed structures with six-fold symmetry. By contrast, when the…
Dynamics of a network fluid within the liquid-gas coexistence region
C. S. Dias, J. M. Tavares, N. A. M. Araujo +1
Low-density networks of molecules or colloids are formed at low temperatures when the interparticle interactions are valence limited. Prototypical examples are networks of patchy p…
