Steady inhomogeneous shear flows as mechanical phase transitions
Thomas Speck
Inhomogeneous flows and shear banding are of interest for a range of applications but have been eluding a comprehensive theoretical understanding, mostly due to the lack of a frame…

In pursuit of the tetratic phase in hard rectangles
Denis Dertli, Thomas Speck
We numerically investigate two-dimensional systems of hard rectangles at constant pressure through extensive hard-particle Monte Carlo simulations. We determine the complete phase…

Coarse-grained models for phase separation in DNA-based fluids
Soumen De Karmakar, Thomas Speck
DNA is now firmly established as a versatile and robust platform for achieving synthetic nanostructures. While the folding of single molecules into complex structures is routinely…
