Metallic Microswimmers Driven up the Wall by Gravity
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
As a natural and functional behavior, various microorganisms exhibit gravitaxis by orienting and swimming upwards against gravity. Swimming autophoretic nanomotors described herein…
Relating microswimmer synthesis to rheotactic tunability
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
We explore the behavior of micron-scale autophoretic Janus (Au/Pt) rods, having various Au/Pt length ratios, swimming near a wall in an imposed background flow. We find that their…
Hydrodynamic fluctuations in quasi-two dimensional diffusion
R. P. Peláez, F. Balboa Usabiaga, S. Panzuela +3
We study diffusion of colloids on a fluid-fluid interface using particle simulations and fluctuating hydrodynamics. Diffusion on a two-dimensional interface with three-dimensional…
Applications of computational geometry to the molecular simulation of interfaces
Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Daniel Duque
The identification of the interfacial molecules in fluid-fluid equilibrium is a long-standing problem in the area of simulation. We here propose a new point of view, making use of…
