Understanding water's anomalies with locally favored structures
John Russo, Hajime Tanaka
Water is a complex structured liquid of hydrogen-bonded molecules that displays a surprising array of unusual properties, also known as water anomalies, the most famous being the d…
Phase Separation in Soft Matter: Concept of Dynamic Asymmetry
Hajime Tanaka
Phase separation is a fundamental phenomenon that produces spatially heterogeneous patterns in soft matter. In this Lecture Note we show that phase separation in these materials ge…
The interplay of sedimentation and crystallization in hard-sphere suspensions
John Russo, Anthony C. Maggs, Daniel Bonn +1
We study crystal nucleation under the influence of sedimentation in a model of colloidal hard spheres via Brownian Dynamics simulations. We introduce two external fields acting on…
Bond orientational ordering in liquids: Towards a unified description of water-like anomalies, liquid-liquid transition, glass transition, and crystallization
Hajime Tanaka
There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase tr…
Nonequilibrium critical Casimir interactions in binary fluids
Akira Furukawa, Andrea Gambassi, Siegfried Dietrich +1
Colloids immersed in a critical binary liquid mixture are subject to critical Casimir forces (CCFs) because they confine its concentration fluctuations and influence the latter via…
Lifetimes and Lengthscales of Structural Motifs in a Model Glassformer
Alex Malins, Jens Eggers, Hajime Tanaka +1
We use a newly-developed method to identify local structural motifs in a popular model glassformer, the Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones mixture. By measuring the lifetimes of a z…
