Self-chemophoresis in the thin diffuse interface approximation
Alvaro Domínguez, Mihail N. Popescu
Self-chemophoresis is an appealing and quite successful interpretation of the motility exhibited by certain chemically active colloidal particles suspended in a solution of their "…
Chemotactic behavior for a self-phoretic Janus particle near a patch source of fuel
Viviana Mancuso, Mihail N. Popescu, William E. Uspal
Many biological microswimmers are capable of chemotaxis, i.e., they can sense an ambient chemical gradient and adjust their mechanism of motility to move towards or away from the s…
Ionic self-phoresis maps onto correlation-induced self-phoresis
Alvaro Domínguez, Mihail N. Popescu
We re-examine the self-phoresis of a particle that releases(removes) pairs of ions into(from) the electrolyte solution. We show analytically that in the linear regime the mathemati…
Effective squirmer models for self-phoretic chemically active spherical colloids
M. N. Popescu, W. E. Uspal, Z. Eskandari +2
Various aspects of self-motility of chemically active colloids in Newtonian fluids can be captured by simple models for their chemical activity plus a phoretic slip hydrodynamic bo…
Model for Spreading of Liquid Monolayers
M. N. Popescu, S. Dietrich
Manipulating fluids at the nanoscale within networks of channels or chemical lanes is a crucial challenge in developing small scale devices to be used in microreactors or chemical…
Asymptotic Capture-Number and Island-Size Distributions for One-Dimensional Irreversible Submonolayer Growth
J. G. Amar, M. N. Popescu
Using a set of evolution equations [J.G. Amar {\it et al}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 86}, 3092 (2001)] for the average gap-size between islands, we calculate analytically the asymptoti…
