Non-Gaussian Dynamics in Smectic Liquid Crystals of Parallel Hard Rods
Rik Matena, Marjolein Dijkstra, Alessandro Patti
Using computer simulations, we studied the diffusion and structural relaxation in equilibrium smectic liquid crystal bulk phases of parallel hard spherocylinders. These systems exh…
Computer simulations of the restricted primitive model at very low temperature and density
Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken +2
The problem of successfully simulating ionic fluids at low temperature and low density states is well known in the simulation literature: using conventional methods, the system is…
A Triangular Tessellation Scheme for the Adsorption Free Energy at the Liquid-Liquid Interface: Towards Non-Convex Patterned Colloids
Joost de Graaf, Marjolein Dijkstra, Rene van Roij
We introduce a new numerical technique, namely triangular tessellation, to calculate the free energy associated with the adsorption of a colloidal particle at a flat interface. The…
Out-of-equilibrium processes in suspensions of oppositely charged colloids: liquid-to-crystal nucleation and gel formation
Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Teun Vissers +5
We study the kinetics of the liquid-to-crystal transformation and of gel formation in colloidal suspensions of oppositely charged particles. We analyse, by means of both computer s…
Dynamical Heterogeneities and Cooperative Motion in Smectic Liquid Crystals
A. Patti, D. El Masri, R. van Roij +1
Using simulations of hard rods in smectic-A states, we find non-gaussian diffusion and heterogeneous dynamics due to the equilibrium periodic smectic density profiles, which give r…
Screening of heterogeneous surfaces: charge renormalization of Janus particles
N. Boon, E. Carvajal Gallardo, S. Zheng +3
Nonlinear ionic screening theory for heterogeneously charged spheres is developed in terms of a mode-decomposition of the surface charge. A far-field analysis of the resulting elec…
