Fragility of surface states in topological superfluid He
P. J. Heikkinen, A. Casey, L. V. Levitin +6
Topological superfluid He, with unconventional spin-triplet p-wave pairing, provides a model system for topological superconductors, which have attracted significant interest t…
All twist and no bend makes raft edges splay: Spontaneous curvature of domain edges in colloidal membranes
Joia M. Miller, Doug Hall, Joanna Robaszewski +4
Using a combination of theory and experiments we study the interface between two immiscible domains in a colloidal membrane composed of rigid rods of different lengths. Geometric c…
Structure, dynamics and phase behavior of short rod inclusions dissolved in a colloidal membrane
Mahsa Siavashpouri, Prerna Sharma, Jerome Fung +2
Inclusions dissolved in an anisotropic quasi-2D membrane acquire new types of interactions that can drive assembly of complex structures and patterns. We study colloidal membranes…
Equation of State of Colloidal Membranes
Andrew J. Balchunas, Rafael A. Cabanas, Mark J. Zakhary +5
In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like colloids assemble into one-rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers, called colloidal membranes. The density of the…
Re-enterant efficiency of phototaxis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells
Sujeet Kumar Choudhary, Aparna Baskaran, Prerna Sharma
Phototaxis is one of the most fundamental stimulus-response behaviors in biology wherein motile micro-organisms sense light gradients to swim towards the light source. Apart from s…
Internal friction controls active ciliary oscillations near the instability threshold
Debasmita Mondal, Ronojoy Adhikari, Prerna Sharma
Ciliary oscillations driven by molecular motors cause fluid motion at micron scale. Stable oscillations require a substantial source of dissipation to balance the energy input of m…
