Phase diagrams of charged colloidal rods: can a uniaxial charge distribution break chiral symmetry?
Tara Drwenski, Simone Dussi, Michiel Hermes +2
We construct phase diagrams for charged rodlike colloids within the second-virial approximation as a function of rod concentration, salt concentration, and colloidal charge. Beside…
Entropy-driven formation of prolate and oblate cholesteric phases by computer simulations
Simone Dussi, Marjolein Dijkstra
Predicting the macroscopic chiral behaviour of cholesteric liquid crystals from the microscopic chirality of the particles is highly non-trivial, even when the chiral interactions…
Fabricating large two-dimensional single colloidal crystals by doping with active particles
B. van der Meer, L. Filion, M. Dijkstra
Using simulations we explore the behaviour of two-dimensional colloidal (poly)crystals doped with active particles. We show that these active dopants can provide an elegant new rou…
Phase Separation and Self-Assembly in a Fluid of Mickey Mouse Particles
Guido Avvisati, Marjolein Dijkstra
Recent developments in the synthesis of colloidal particles allow for control over shape and inter-particle interaction. One example, among others, is the so-called "Mickey Mouse"…
A Novel Chiral Phase of Achiral Hard Triangles and an Entropy-Driven Demixing of Enantiomers
Anjan P. Gantapara, Weikai Qi, Marjolein Dijkstra
We investigate the phase behavior of a system of hard equilateral and right-angled triangles in two dimensions using Monte Carlo simulations. Hard equilateral triangles undergo a c…
