Anisotropic molecular diffusion in confinement I: Transport of small particles in potential and density gradients
Kevin Höllring, Andreas Baer, Nataša Vučemilović-Alagić +2
Hypothesis: Diffusion in confinement is an important fundamental problem with significant implications for applications of supported liquid phases. However, resolving the spatially…
Crowding competes with trapping to enhance interfacial diffusion
Mislav Cvitković, Dipanwita Ghanti, Niklas Raake +1
Diffusion in the crowded environments of the biological membranes or materials interfaces often involves intermittent binding to surface proteins or defects. To account for this si…
Regimes of motion of magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Maxime Hubert, Galien Grosjean +6
The dynamics of a triangular magnetocapillary swimmer is studied using the lattice Boltzmann method. Performing extensive numerical simulations taking into account the coupled dyna…
A general perturbative approach for bead-based microswimmers reveals rich self-propulsion phenomena
Sebastian Ziegler, Maxime Hubert, Nicolas Vandewalle +2
Studies of model microswimmers have significantly contributed to the understanding of the principles of self-propulsion we have today. However, only a small number of microswimmer…
Capillary assemblies in a rotating magnetic field
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Ylona Collard +4
Small objects floating on a fluid have a tendency to aggregate due to capillary forces. This effect has been used, with the help of a magnetic induction field, to assemble submilli…
Optimal motion of triangular magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Sebastian Ziegler, Qingguang Xie +7
A system of ferromagnetic particles trapped at a liquid-liquid interface and subjected to a set of magnetic fields (magnetocapillary swimmers) is studied numerically using a hybrid…
Microswimming with inertia
Jayant Pande, Kristina Pickl, Oleg Trosman +2
Microswimmers, especially in theoretical treatments, are generally taken to be completely inertia-free, since inertial effects on their motion are typically small and assuming thei…
Multiscale approaches to protein-mediated interactions between membranes - Relating microscopic and macroscopic dynamics in radially growing adhesions
Timo Bihr, Udo Seifert, Ana-Suncana Smith
Macromolecular complexation leading to coupling of two or more cellular membranes is a crucial step in a number of biological functions of the cell. While other mechanisms may also…
Signature of a non-harmonic potential as revealed from a consistent shape and fluctuation analysis of an adherent membrane
Daniel Schmidt, Cornelia Monzel, Timo Bihr +4
The interaction of fluid membranes with a scaffold, which can be a planar surface or a more complex structure, is intrinsic to a number of systems - from artificial supported bilay…
Coexistence of dilute and densely packed domains of ligand-receptor bonds in membrane adhesion
Daniel Schmidt, Timo Bihr, Udo Seifert +1
We analyze the stability of micro-domains of ligand-receptor bonds that mediate the adhesion of biological model membranes. After evaluating the effects of membrane fluctuations on…
Effective adhesion strength of specifically bound vesicles
Ana-Suncana Smith, Udo Seifert
A theoretical approach has been undertaken in order to model the thermodynamic equilibrium of a vesicle adhering to a flat substrate. The vesicle is treated in a canonical descript…
