Collective filament wrapping and nested spiral formation in active polydisperse systems
Caterina Landi, Giulia Janzen, Francesco Sciortino +3
We investigate a two-dimensional polydisperse suspension of self-propelled semiflexible filaments and reveal a collective wrapping mechanism that is absent in monodisperse systems.…
Inverse Thermodynamics: Designing Interactions for Targeted Phase Behavior
Camilla Beneduce, Giuseppe Mastriani, Petr Šulc +2
The traditional goal of inverse self-assembly is to design interactions that drive particles toward a desired target structure. However, achieving successful self-assembly also req…
A Falsifiability Test for Classical Nucleation Theory
Camilla Beneduce, Diogo E. P. Pinto, Lorenzo Rovigatti +4
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) is built upon the capillarity approximation, i.e., the assumption that the nucleation properties can be inferred from the bulk properties of the m…
Self-Assembly of Active Bivalent Patchy Particles
Caterina Landi, John Russo, Francesco Sciortino +1
In the present work, with the intent of exploring the out-of-equilibrium polymerization of active patchy particles in linear chains, we study a suspension of active bivalent Browni…
Generating ultrastable glasses by homogenizing the local virial stress
Fabio Leoni, John Russo, Francesco Sciortino +1
In recent years, the possibility of algorithmically preparing ultra-stable glasses (UG), i.e., states that lie very deep in the potential energy landscape, has considerably expande…
Cluster formation and phase separation in heteronuclear Janus dumbbells
Gianmarco Munaò, Patrick O'Toole, Toby S. Hudson +4
We have recently investigated the phase behaviour of model colloidal dumbbells constituted by two identical tangent hard spheres, with the first one being surrounded by an attracti…
Structure and phase behavior of colloidal dumbbells with tunable attractive interactions
Gianmarco Munaò, Dino Costa, Achille Giacometti +2
We investigate thermodynamic and structural properties of colloidal dumbbells in the framework provided by the Reference Interaction Site Model (RISM) theory of molecular fluids an…
Nanoflows through disordered media: a joint Lattice Boltzmann and Molecular Dynamics investigation
J. Russo, J. Horbach, F. Sciortino +1
We investigate nanoflows through dilute disordered media by means of joint lattice Boltzmann (LB) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations -- when the size of the obstacles is compa…
The Debye-Waller factor of liquid silica: Theory and simulation
Francesco Sciortino, Walter Kob
We show that the prediction of mode-coupling theory for a model of a network-forming strong glass-former correctly describes the wave-vector dependence of the Debye-Waller factor.…
