Tilt control of coverage heterogeneity for hard spherocylinders locked on a sphere
Jonathan Washburn, Hartmut Löwen, Elshad Allahyarov
We study hard spherocylinders on a sphere with axes rigidly locked to a tangential director field at fixed angle $\tilt$ to the meridian, necessarily singular at the poles. Three l…
Curvature-induced smectic-C order of tangentially anchored hard spherocylinders on a sphere with a rigidly locked director field
Jonathan Washburn, Hartmut Löwen, Elshad Allahyarov
We study the strict locked-orientation limit of hard spherocylinders on a sphere, in which the rod axes are rigidly locked to a prescribed tangential director field and cannot reor…
Electric field-induced clustering in nanocomposite films of highly polarizable inclusions
Elshad Allahyarov, Hartmut Löwen
A nanocomposite film containing highly polarizable inclusions in a fluid background is explored when an external electric field is applied perpendicular to the planar film. For sma…
Structural correlations and phase separation in binary mixtures of charged and uncharged colloids
Elshad Allahyarov, Hartmut Löwen
Structural correlations between colloids in a binary mixture of charged and uncharged spheres are calculated using computer simulations of the primitive model with explicit microio…
Structural correlations in highly asymmetric binary charged colloidal mixtures
Elshad Allahyarov, Hartmut Löwen, Alan Denton
We explore structural correlations of strongly asymmetric mixtures of binary charged colloids within the primitive model of electrolytes considering large charge and size ratios of…
Crystallization seeds favour crystallization only during initial growth
Elshad Allahyarov, Kirill Sandomirski, Stefan U. Egelhaaf +1
Crystallization represents the prime example of a disorder order transition. In realistic situations, however, container walls and impurities are frequently present and hence cryst…
