Particle-based model of active skyrmions
Allison W. Teixeira, Mykola Tasinkevych, Cristóvão S. Dias
Motivated by recent experimental results that reveal rich collective dynamics of thousands-to-millions of active liquid crystal skyrmions we have developed a coarse grained particl…
Percolation in binary mixtures of linkers and particles: chaining {\it {vs}} branching
M. Gouveia, C. S. Dias, J. M. Tavares
Equilibrium gels of colloidal particles can be realized through the introduction of a second species, a linker that mediates the bonds between the colloids. A gel forming binary mi…
Effect of anisotropy on the formation of active particle films
T. C. Rebocho, M. Tasinkevych, C. S. Dias
Active colloids belong to a class of non-equilibrium systems where energy uptake, conversion and dissipation occurs at the level of individual colloidal particles, which can lead t…
Effect of the number of patches on the growth of networks of patchy colloids on substrates
C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo, M. M. Telo da Gama
We investigate numerically the irreversible aggregation of patchy spherical colloids on a flat substrate. We consider -patch particles and characterize the dependence of the irr…
Adsorbed films of three-patch colloids: Continuous and discontinuous transitions between thick and thin films
C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo, M. M. Telo da Gama
We investigate numerically the role of spatial arrangement of the patches on the irreversible adsorption of patchy colloids on a substrate. We consider spherical three-patch colloi…
Analytical and numerical study of particles with binary adsorption
Cristóvão S. Dias, Nuno A. M. Araújo, António Cadilhe
Electro-oxidation of ethanol represents a key process in fuel-cells technology. We introduce a generalization of the random sequential adsorption model to study the long timescale…
