Critical Casimir forces between planar and crenellated surfaces
M. Tröndle, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich
We study critical Casimir forces between planar walls and geometrically structured substrates within mean-field theory. As substrate structures, crenellated surfaces consisting of…
Patchy worm-like micelles: solution structure studied by small-angle neutron scattering
S. Rosenfeldt, F. Luedel, C. Schulreich +5
Triblock terpolymers exhibit a rich self-organization behavior including the formation of fascinating cylindrical core-shell structures with a phase separated corona. After crystal…
The structure of fluids with impurities
M. Bier, L. Harnau
The influence of dilute impurities on the structure of a fluid solvent is investigated theoretically. General arguments, which do not rely on particular models, are used to derive…
Annealing of single lamella nanoparticles of polyethylene
Christophe N. Rochette, Sabine Rosenfeldt, Katja Henzler +7
We study the change of the size and structure of freely suspended single lamella nanoparticles of polyethylene during thermal annealing in aqueous solutions. Using small-angle x-ra…
Trapping colloids near chemical stripes via critical Casimir forces
Matthias Tröndle, Olga Zvyagolskaya, Andrea Gambassi +4
We study theoretically and experimentally the solvent-mediated critical Casimir force acting on colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture of water and 2,6-lutidine an…
A fluorescence correlation spectroscopy study of macromolecular tracer diffusion in polymer solutions
Ute Zettl, Matthias Ballauff, Ludger Harnau
We discuss the manner in which the dynamics of tracer polystyrene chains varies with the concentration of matrix polystyrene chains dissolved in toluene. Using fluorescence correla…
