Universal behavior in diffuse charge dynamics with patterned electrodes
E. Krucker-Velasquez, E. Kirkinis, M. Olvera de la Cruz
Iontronic devices that replicate physiological processes will improve energy efficiency to support artificial-intelligence architectures. Energy storage and conversion devices, how…
Restructuring a passive colloidal suspension using a rotationally driven particle
Shih-Yuan Chen, Hector Lopez-Rios, Monica Olvera de la Cruz +1
The interaction between passive and active/driven particles has introduced a new way to control colloidal suspension properties from particle aggregation to crystallization. Here,…
Electric Fields Near Undulating Dielectric Membranes
Nicholas Pogharian, Alexandre P. dos Santos, Ali Ehlen +1
Dielectric interfaces are crucial to the behavior of charged membranes, from graphene to synthetic and biological lipid bilayers. Understanding electrolyte behavior near these inte…
Patterning of multicomponent elastic shells by Gaussian curvature
Curt Waltmann, Ahis Shrestha, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
Recent findings suggest that shell protein distribution and morphology of bacterial microcompartments regulate the chemical fluxes facilitating reactions which dictate their biolog…
Hydrodynamics of thermally-driven chiral propulsion and separation
E. Kirkinis, A. V. Andreev, M. Olvera de la Cruz
Considerable effort has been directed towards the characterization of chiral mesoscale structures, as shown in chiral protein assemblies and carbon nanotubes. Here, we establish a…
Enhanced phoretic self-propulsion of active colloids through surface charge asymmetry
Ahis Shrestha, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
Charged colloidal particles propel themselves through asymmetric fluxes of chemically generated ions on their surface. We show that asymmetry in the surface charge distribution int…
