Two-stage melting induced by dislocations and grain boundaries in Monolayers of Hard Spheres
Weikai Qi, Anjan P. Gantapara, Marjolein Dijkstra
Melting in two-dimensional systems has remained controversial as theory, simulations, and experiments show contrasting results. One issue that obscures this discussion is whether o…
Orientational order of carbon nanotube guests in a nematic host suspension of colloidal viral rods
Nicolas Puech, Matthew Dennison, Christophe Blanc +5
In order to investigate the coupling between the degrees of alignment of elongated particles in binary nematic dispersions, surfactant stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs…
Pushing the glass transition towards random close packing using self-propelled hard spheres
Ran Ni, Martien A. Cohen Stuart, Marjolein Dijkstra
Although the concept of random close packing with an almost universal packing fraction of ~ 0.64 for hard spheres was introduced more than half a century ago, there are still ongoi…
Effect of controlled corrugation on capillary condensation of colloid-polymer mixtures
Andrea Fortini, Matthias Schmidt
We investigate with Monte Carlo computer simulations the capillary phase behaviour of model colloid-polymer mixtures confined between a flat wall and a corrugated wall. The corruga…
