Geometric theory of elastic curves constrained on rigid curved surfaces
Fahim Bin Selim, C. Nadir Kaplan
Slender elastic objects constrained to curved surfaces are ubiquitous in soft systems, with examples ranging from DNA wrapping around histones to actin filaments forming contractil…
Geometrical dynamics of edge-driven surface growth
C. Nadir Kaplan, L. Mahadevan
Accretion of mineralized thin wall-like structures via localized growth along their edges is observed in a range of physical and biological systems ranging from molluscan and brach…
Achiral symmetry breaking and positive Gaussian modulus lead to scalloped colloidal membranes
Thomas Gibaud, C. Nadir Kaplan, Prerna Sharma +7
In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like particles assemble into colloidal membranes, which are one rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers of aligned rods…
Dynamics of evaporative colloidal patterning
C. Nadir Kaplan, Ning Wu, Shreyas Mandre +2
Drying suspensions often leave behind complex patterns of particulates, as might be seen in the coffee stains on a table. Here we consider the dynamics of periodic band or uniform…
Evaporation-driven ring and film deposition from colloidal droplets
C. Nadir Kaplan, L. Mahadevan
Evaporating suspensions of colloidal particles lead to the formation of a variety of patterns, ranging from a left-over ring of a dried coffee drop to uniformly distributed solid p…
Chiral smectic A membranes: Unified theory of free edge structure and twist walls
C. Nadir Kaplan, Robert B. Meyer
Monodisperse suspensions of rodlike chiral viruses are condensed into a rod-length thick colloidal monolayers of aligned rods by depletion forces. Twist deformations of the mo…
Intrinsic curvature determines the crinkled edges of "crenellated disks"
C. Nadir Kaplan, Thomas Gibaud, Robert B. Meyer
Elastic curvature constants determine many structural and functional properties of fluid membranes. Methods to measure the mean curvature modulus have proved to be robust. In contr…
Theory of depletion induced phase transition from chiral smectic A twisted ribbons to semi-infinite flat membranes
C. Nadir Kaplan, Hao Tu, Robert A. Pelcovits +1
We consider a theoretical model for the chiral smectic A twisted ribbons observed in assemblies of fd viruses condensed by depletion forces. The depletion interaction is modeled by…
Quantum-Mechanically Induced Asymmetry in the Phase Diagrams of Spin-Glass Systems
C. Nadir Kaplan, A. Nihat Berker
The spin-1/2 quantum Heisenberg model is studied in all spatial dimensions d by renormalization-group theory. Strongly asymmetric phase diagrams in temperature and antiferromagneti…
