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…
Engineering azeotropy to optimize the self-assembly of colloidal mixtures
Camilla Beneduce, Francesco Sciortino, Petr Sulc +1
The goal of inverse self-assembly is to design inter-particle interactions capable of assembling the units into a desired target structure. The effective assembly of complex struct…
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…
