Light-activated Janus particles in geometrically confined binary solvent
Michał Przerwa, Piotr Nowakowski, Takeaki Araki +1
The coupled dynamics of local fields exert a drastic influence on the light-activated self-propulsion of a Janus particle in a binary solvent under spatial confinement. In this wor…
Hydrodynamics substantially affects induced structure formation in magnetic fluids
Henning Reinken, Markus Heiber, Takeaki Araki +1
Magnetorheological fluids consist of micrometer-sized magnetic particles in a carrier liquid. Sufficiently strong external magnetic fields lead to the formation of string-like part…
Relaxation to steady states of a binary liquid mixture around an optically heated colloid
Takeaki Araki, Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Anna Maciołek
We study the relaxation dynamics of a binary liquid mixture near a light-absorbing Janus particle after switching on and off illumination using experiments and theoretical models.…
Contribution of internal degree of freedom of soft molecules to Soret effect
Takeaki Araki, Chikakiyo Natsumi
We studied the Soret effect in binary dimer-monomer mixtures using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and investigated the pure contribution of the internal degree of f…
Transient coarsening and the motility of optically heated Janus colloids in a binary liquid mixture
Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Sutapa Roy, Takeaki Araki +2
A gold-capped Janus particle suspended in a near-critical binary liquid mixture can self-propel under illumination. We have immobilized such a particle in a narrow channel and stud…
Bistable director alignments of nematic liquid crystals confined in frustrated substrates
Takeaki Araki, Jumpei Nagura
We studied in-plane bistable alignments of nematic liquid crystals confined by two frustrated surfaces by means of Monte Carlo simulations of the Lebwohl-Lasher spin model. The sur…
