Smoluchowski equations for linker-mediated irreversible aggregation
J. M. Tavares, G. C. Antunes, C. S. Dias +2
In order to study linker-mediated aggregation of colloidal particles with limited valence, we combine kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and an approximate theory based on the Smoluch…
Dynamics of patchy particles in and out of equilibrium
J. M. Tavares, C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo +1
We combine particle-based simulations, mean-field rate equations, and Wertheim's theory to study the dynamics of patchy particles in and out of equilibrium, at different temperatur…
Coherence thresholds in models of language change and evolution: the effects of noise, dynamics and network of interactions
J M Tavares, M M Telo da Gama, A Nunes
A simple model of language evolution, proposed in \cite{K_N}, is characterized by a pay-off in communicative function, and by an error in learning, that measures the accuracy in la…
On elliptical soft colloids in smectic-C films
N. M. Silvestre, P. Patricio, M. M. Telo da Gama
We investigate theoretically the elliptical shapes of soft colloids in freely standing smectic C films, that have been reported recently. The colloids favour parallel alignment of…
The key-lock mechanism in nematic colloidal dispersions
N. M. Silvestre, P. Patricio, M. M. Telo da Gama
We consider the interaction of two-dimensional colloids, in nematic liquid crystals, with walls or geometrical boundaries. The interactions between colloidal disks and flat walls,…
