Hydrodynamics in Semidilute Polyelectrolyte Solutions and Complex Coacervates
Shensheng Chen, Zhen-Gang Wang
It is generally assumed that hydrodynamics in dense polyelectrolyte (PE) solutions, such as semidilute PE solutions and PE complex coacervates, is heavily screened and inconsequent…
Microscopic Origins of the Swim Pressure and the Anomalous Surface Tension of Active Matter
Ahmad K. Omar, Zhen-Gang Wang, John F. Brady
The unique pressure exerted by active particles -- the "swim" pressure -- has proven to be a useful quantity in explaining many of the seemingly confounding behaviors of active par…
Swimming to Stability: Structural and Dynamical Control via Active Doping
Ahmad K. Omar, Yanze Wu, Zhen-Gang Wang +1
External fields can decidedly alter the free energy landscape of soft materials and can be exploited as a powerful tool for the assembly of targeted nanostructures and colloidal ma…
Monte Carlo simulation of electrostatic interactions in inhomogeneous dielectric media: Correct sampling for the local lattice simulation algorithm
Xiaozheng Duan, Issei Nakamura, Zhen-Gang Wang
We present a lattice Monte Carlo algorithm based on the one originally proposed by Maggs and Rossetto for simulating electrostatic interactions in inhomogeneous dielectric media. T…
On the theoretical description of weakly charged surfaces
Rui Wang, Zhen-Gang Wang
It is widely accepted that the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory provides a valid description for charged surfaces in the so-called weak coupling limit. Here, we show that the image ch…
Random Isotropic Structures and Possible Glass Transitions in Diblock Copolymer Melts
C. -Z. Zhang, Z. -G. Wang
We study the microstructural glass transitions in diblock-copolymer melts using a thermodynamic replica approach. Our approach performs an expansion in terms of the natural smallne…
