Phase behaviour and defect structure of soft rods on a sphere
Jaydeep Mandal, Hartmut Löwen, Prabal K. Maiti
Using particle-resolved molecular-dynamics simulations, we compute the phase diagram for soft repulsive spherocylinders confined on the surface of a sphere. While crystal (K), smec…
Growth Laws and Universality in 2-TIPS: Microscopic and Coarse grained approach
Nayana Venkatareddy, Partha Sarathi Mondal, Jaydeep Mandal +2
Two temperature induced phase separation(2-TIPS) is a phenomenon observed in mixtures of active and passive particles modeled by scalar activity where the temperature of the partic…
Melting of rods on a sphere via an intermediate hexatic phase
Jaydeep Mandal, Chandan Dasgupta, Prabal K. Maiti
We have studied, using molecular dynamics simulations, the pressure-induced melting in a monolayer of soft repulsive spherocylinders whose centers of mass are constrained to move o…
Freezing in flat monolayers of soft spherocylinders
Jaydeep Mandal, Henricus H. Wensink, Prabal K. Maiti
Lamellar or smectic phases often have an intricate intralamellar structure that remains scarcely understood from a microscopic viewpoint. In this work, we use molecular dynamics si…
