Topological structure and dynamics of three dimensional active nematics
Guillaume Duclos, Raymond Adkins, Debarghya Banerjee +13
Point-like motile topological defects control the universal dynamics of diverse two-dimensional active nematics ranging from shaken granular rods to cellular monolayers. A comparab…
All twist and no bend makes raft edges splay: Spontaneous curvature of domain edges in colloidal membranes
Joia M. Miller, Doug Hall, Joanna Robaszewski +4
Using a combination of theory and experiments we study the interface between two immiscible domains in a colloidal membrane composed of rigid rods of different lengths. Geometric c…
Statistical properties of a tangentially driven active filament
Matthew S. E. Peterson, Michael F. Hagan, Aparna Baskaran
Active polymers play a central role in many biological systems, from bacterial flagella to cellular cytoskeletons. Minimal models of semiflexible active filaments have been used to…
Structure, dynamics and phase behavior of short rod inclusions dissolved in a colloidal membrane
Mahsa Siavashpouri, Prerna Sharma, Jerome Fung +2
Inclusions dissolved in an anisotropic quasi-2D membrane acquire new types of interactions that can drive assembly of complex structures and patterns. We study colloidal membranes…
Equation of State of Colloidal Membranes
Andrew J. Balchunas, Rafael A. Cabanas, Mark J. Zakhary +5
In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like colloids assemble into one-rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers, called colloidal membranes. The density of the…
Response of active Brownian particles to boundary driving
Caleb G. Wagner, Michael F. Hagan, Aparna Baskaran
We computationally study the behavior of underdamped active Brownian particles in a sheared channel geometry. Due to their underdamped dynamics, the particles carry momentum a char…
Conformational switching of chiral colloidal rafts regulates raft-raft attractions and repulsions
Joia Miller, Chaitanya Joshi, Prerna Sharma +4
Membrane-mediated particle interactions depend both on the properties of the particles themselves and the membrane environment in which they are suspended. Experiments have shown t…
