Two-Stage Ordering Kinetics in Binary Mixtures of Ellipsoidal Particles
Parameshwaran A, Sanjay Puri, Bhaskar Sen Gupta
We investigate the nonequilibrium phase-ordering kinetics of a binary mixture of uniaxial ellipsoidal particles interacting via the anisotropic Gay-Berne potential using large-scal…
Suppression of Active Super-Diffusion: Impact of String Defects and Canted Multi-Domains
Ritik Rajak, Manish Agarwal, Sanjay Puri +1
We investigate the transport dynamics of an active Brownian particle (ABP) traversing a complex, non-Newtonian liquid crystal (LC) matrix. Employing the Generalized Lebwohl-Lasher…
Self-assembly of Dipolar Crystals from Magnetic Colloids
Anuj Kumar Singh, Sanjay Puri, Varsha Banerjee
We study the self-assembly of magnetic colloids using the Stockmayer (SM) model characterized by short-range Lennard-Jones interactions and long-range dipole-dipole interactions. U…
Surface-directed Dynamics in Living Liquid Crystals
Aditya Vats, Varsha Banerjee, Sanjay Puri
We study living liquid crystals (LLCs), which are an amalgam of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) and active matter (AM). These LLCs are placed in contact with surfaces which impose pl…
