Pumping and mixing in active pores
G. C. Antunes, P. Malgaretti, J. Harting +1
We show both numerically and analytically that a chemically patterned active pore can act as a micro/nano-pump for fluids, even if it is fore-aft symmetric. This is possible due to…
Effective Landau theory of ferronematics
Grigorii Zarubin, Markus Bier, Siegfried Dietrich
An effective Landau-like description of ferronematics, i.e., suspensions of magnetic colloidal particles in a nematic liquid crystal (NLC), is developed in terms of the correspondi…
Liquid bridging of cylindrical colloids in near-critical solvents
M. Labbé-Laurent, A. D. Law, S. Dietrich
Within mean field theory, we investigate the bridging transition between a pair of parallel cylindrical colloids immersed in a binary liquid mixture as a solvent which is close to…
Electrolyte solutions at curved electrodes. I. Mesoscopic approach
Andreas Reindl, Markus Bier, S. Dietrich
Within the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) approach electrolytes in contact with planar, spherical, and cylindrical electrodes are analyzed systematically. The dependences of their capacita…
Chemically active colloids near osmotic-responsive walls with surface-chemistry gradients
M. N. Popescu, W. E. Uspal, S. Dietrich
Chemically active colloids move by creating gradients in the composition of the surrounding solution and by exploiting the differences in their interactions with the various molecu…
Poisson-Boltzmann study of the effective electrostatic interaction between colloids at an electrolyte interface
Arghya Majee, Markus Bier, S. Dietrich
The effective electrostatic interaction between a pair of colloids, both of them located close to each other at an electrolyte interface, is studied by employing the full, nonlinea…
