Three-body critical Casimir forces
T. G. Mattos, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich
Within mean-field theory we calculate universal scaling functions associated with critical Casimir forces for a system consisting of three parallel cylindrical colloids immersed in…
Effective interaction between a colloid and a soft interface near criticality
Adam D. Law, Ludger Harnau, Matthias Troendle +1
Within mean-field theory we determine the universal scaling function for the effective force acting on a single colloid located near the interface between two coexisting liquid pha…
Alignment of cylindrical colloids near chemically patterned substrates induced by critical Casimir torques
M. Labbé-Laurent, M. Tröndle, L. Harnau +1
Recent experiments have demonstrated a fluctuation-induced lateral trapping of spherical colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture near its critical demixing point an…
Many-body effects for critical Casimir forces
T. G. Mattos, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich
Within mean-field theory we calculate the scaling functions associated with critical Casimir forces for a system consisting of two spherical colloids immersed in a binary liquid mi…
Critical Casimir effect for colloids close to chemically patterned substrates
M. Tröndle, S. Kondrat, A. Gambassi +2
Colloids immersed in a critical or near-critical binary liquid mixture and close to a chemically patterned substrate are subject to normal and lateral critical Casimir forces of do…
Phase behavior of ionic liquid crystals
S. Kondrat, M. Bier, L. Harnau
Bulk properties of ionic liquid crystals are investigated using density functional theory. The liquid crystal molecules are represented by ellipsoidal particles with charges locate…
