Crystallization of magnetic dipolar monolayers: a density functional approach
Sven van Teeffelen, Hartmut Löwen, Christos N. Likos
We employ density functional theory to study in detail the crystallization of super-paramagnetic particles in two dimensions under the influence of an external magnetic field that…
Dynamics of a Brownian circle swimmer
Sven van Teeffelen, Hartmut Löwen
Self-propelled particles move along circles rather than along a straight line when their driving force does not coincide with their propagation direction. Examples include confined…
Colloidal crystal growth at externally imposed nucleation clusters
Sven van Teeffelen, Christos N. Likos, Hartmut Löwen
We study the conditions under which and how an imposed cluster of fixed colloidal particles at prescribed positions triggers crystal nucleation from a metastable colloidal fluid. D…
