Drying-Induced Size Segregation and Stratification in Colloidal Droplets across Binary, Ternary, and Polydisperse Systems
Zhoaxuan Liu, Marjolein Dijkstra
We study evaporation-induced size segregation and stratification in binary, ternary, and polydisperse mixtures of colloidal particles within a drying droplet using Brownian dynamic…
Dynamic bidirectional coupling of membrane morphology and rod organization in flexible vesicles
Stijn van der Ham, André F. V. Matias, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
The ordering of rod-like particles in soft, deformable containers emerges from the interplay of anisotropic interactions, geometric confinement, and boundary compliance. This compe…
Active Brownian particles in power-law viscoelastic media
David Santiago Quevedo, Monica Conte, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
Many active particles are embedded in environments that exhibit viscoelastic properties. An important class of such media lacks a single characteristic relaxation timescale when su…
From Knots to Crystals: Machine-Learned Potentials for Self-Assembling Topological Solitons in Liquid Crystals
Arunkumar Bupathy, Darian Hall, Ivan I. Smalyukh +3
Knotted fields in classical and quantum systems have long been recognized for their non-trivial topologies and particle-like behavior, but practical applications have been limited…
Surface Charge Relaxation Controls the Lifetime of Out-of-Equilibrium Colloidal Crystals
Laura Jansen, Thijs ter Rele, Marjolein Dijkstra
Interactions between charged colloidal particles are profoundly influenced by charge regulation and charge renormalization, rendering the effective potential highly sensitive to lo…
Machine learning many-body potentials for charged colloids in primitive 1:1 electrolytes
Thijs ter Rele, Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, René van Roij +1
Effective interactions between charged particles dispersed in an electrolyte are most commonly modeled using the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) potential, where the ions i…
Shaping boundaries to control and transport topological defects in colloidal nematic liquid crystals
Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, André F. V. Matias, Ethan I. L. Jull +2
Anisotropic rod-like particles form liquid crystalline phases with varying degrees of orientational and translational order. When confined geometrically, these phases can give rise…
Disentangling the Effects of Curvature and Misorientation on the Shrinkage Behavior of Loop-Shaped Grain Boundaries
Fabrizio Camerin, Susana Marín-Aguilar, Tim Griffioen +4
The material properties of polycrystals are strongly affected by the evolution and coarsening of their internal grain structures. Yet, studying this process is challenging due to t…
Collective Dynamics of Intelligent Active Brownian Particles with Visual Perception and Velocity Alignment in 3D: Spheres, Rods, and Worms
Zhaoxuan Liu, Marjolein Dijkstra
Many living systems, such as birds and fish, exhibit collective behaviors like flocking and swarming. Recently, an experimental system of active colloidal particles has been develo…
Ion Selectivity in Uncharged Tapered Nanoslits through Heterogeneous Water Polarization
Tim Veenstra, Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, Giuliana Giunta +2
We employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate ion and water transport driven by an electric field through quasi-two-dimensional nanoslits with a tapered geometry. Despite…
Learning Neural Free-Energy Functionals with Pair-Correlation Matching
Jacobus Dijkman, Marjolein Dijkstra, René van Roij +3
The intrinsic Helmholtz free-energy functional, the centerpiece of classical density functional theory, is at best only known approximately for 3D systems. Here we introduce a meth…
Curvature directed anchoring and defect structure of colloidal smectic liquid crystals in confinement
Ethan I. L. Jull, Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, Qianjing Tang +2
Rod-like objects at high packing fractions can form smectic phases, where the rods break rotational and translational symmetry by forming lamellae. Smectic defects thereby include…
Depletion-induced crystallization of anisotropic triblock colloids
Fabrizio Camerin, Susana Marín-Aguilar, Marjolein Dijkstra
The intricate interplay between colloidal particle shape and precisely engineered interaction potentials has paved the way for the discovery of unprecedented crystal structures in…
Depletion-induced biaxial nematic states of boardlike particles
Simone Belli, Marjolein Dijkstra, René van Roij
With the aim of investigating the stability conditions of biaxial nematic liquid crystals, we study the effect of adding a non-adsorbing ideal depletant on the phase behavior of co…
