Phase Separation Kinetics in a Polar Active Field Model
Massimiliano Semeraro, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Giuseppe Gonnella +1
A milestone of phase separation kinetics is the emergence of universal power laws governing the domain growth evolution. We investigate a phase-separating polar acti…
3D active nematic disclinations behave as Majorana quasiparticles
Louise C. Head, Giuseppe Negro, Livio N. Carenza +7
Quasiparticles are low-energy excitations with important roles in condensed matter physics. An intriguing example is provided by Majorana fermions, quasiparticles which are identic…
Controlling flow patterns and topology in active emulsions
Giuseppe Negro, Louise C. Head, Livio N. Carenza +4
Active emulsions and liquid crystalline shells are intriguing and experimentally realisable types of topological matter. Here we numerically study the morphology and spatiotemporal…
Lattice Boltzmann modeling of cholesteric liquid crystal droplets under an oscillatory electric field
F. Fadda, A. Lamura, A. Tiribocchi
We numerically study the dynamics of quasi-two dimensional cholesteric liquid crystal droplets in the presence of a time-dependent electric field, rotating at constant angular velo…
Shearing effects on the phase coarsening of binary mixtures using the Active Model B
A. Lamura, A. Tiribocchi
The phase separation of a two-dimensional active binary mixture is studied under the action of an applied shear through numerical simulations. It is highlighted how the strength of…
Soft channel formation and symmetry breaking in exotic active emulsions
L. N. Carenza, G. Gonnella, A. Lamura +3
We use computer simulations to study the morphology and rheological properties of a bidimensional emulsion resulting from a mixture of a passive isotropic fluid and an active contr…
