Banding, Excitability and Chaos in Active Nematic Suspensions
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan, B. Chakraborty +1
Motivated by the observation of highly unstable flowing states in suspensions of microtubules and kinesin, we analyze a model of mutually-propelled filaments suspended in a solvent…
Spontaneous Segregation of Self-Propelled Particles with Different Motilities
Samuel R. McCandlish, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan
We study mixtures of self-propelled and passive rod-like particles in two dimensions using Brownian dynamics simulations. The simulations demonstrate that the two species spontaneo…
Sitting at the edge: How biomolecules use hydrophobicity to tune their interactions and function
Amish J. Patel, Patrick Varilly, Sumanth N. Jamadagni +3
Water near hydrophobic surfaces is like that at a liquid-vapor interface, where fluctuations in water density are substantially enhanced compared to that in bulk water. Here we use…
Theoretical calculation of the phase behavior of colloidal membranes
Yasheng Yang, Michael F. Hagan
We formulate a density functional theory that describes the phase behavior of hard rods and depleting polymers, as realized in recent experiments on suspensions of \emph{fd} virus…
Self-assembly of 2D membranes from mixtures of hard rods and depleting polymers
Yasheng Yang, Edward Barry, Zvonimir Dogic +1
We elucidate the molecular forces leading to assembly of two dimensional membrane-like structures composed of a one rod-length thick monolayer of aligned rods from an immiscible su…
