Molecular chirality controls droplet division and helical fiber formation in liquid crystal emulsions
Simon Čopar, Mariana V. M. Rodriguez, Peter Marinko +9
Molecular chirality is a source of broken mirror symmetry, but using it to control mesoscale structures with a tunable length scale remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate that a…
Controlling curvature of self-assembling surfaces via patchy particle design
Andraž Gnidovec, Simon Čopar
Curved structures in soft matter and biological systems commonly emerge as a result of self-assembly processes where building blocks aggregate in a controlled manner, giving rise t…
Anisotropic DLVO-like interaction for charge patchiness in colloids and proteins
Andraž Gnidovec, Emanuele Locatelli, Simon Čopar +2
The behaviour and stability of soft and biological matter depend significantly on electrostatic interactions, as particles such as proteins and colloids acquire a charge when dispe…
Many-defect solutions in planar nematics: interactions, spiral textures and boundary conditions
Simon Čopar, Žiga Kos
From incompressible flows to electrostatics, harmonic functions can provide solutions to many two-dimensional problems and, similarly, the director field of a planar nematic can be…
From coffee stains to uniform deposits: significance of the contact-line mobility
Aleksander Matavž, Urša Uršič, Jaka Močivnik +5
Hypothesis: Contact-line motion upon drying of sessile droplet strongly affects the solute transport and solvent evaporation profile. Hence, it should have a strong impact on the d…
Measure of distance and overlap between two arbitrary ellipses on a sphere
Andraž Gnidovec, Anže Božič, Urška Jelerčič +1
Various packing problems and simulations of hard and soft interacting particles, such as microscopic models of nematic liquid crystals, reduce to calculations of intersections and…
