Optimal steering of a smart active particle
Elias Schneider, Holger Stark
We formulate the theory for steering an active particle with optimal travel time between two locations and apply it to the Mexican hat potential without brim. For small heights the…
Active Brownian motion of emulsion droplets: Coarsening dynamics at the interface and rotational diffusion
Maximilian Schmitt, Holger Stark
A micron-sized droplet of bromine water immersed in a surfactant-laden oil phase can swim (S. Thutupalli, R. Seemann, S. Herminghaus, New J. Phys. 13 073021 (2011)). The bromine re…
Rectification of self-propelled particles by symmetric barriers
Andrey Pototsky, Aljoscha M. Hahn, Holger Stark
The motion of self-propelled particles can be rectified by asymmetric or ratchet-like periodic patterns in space. Here we show that a non-zero average drift can already be induced…
Modelling bacterial flagellar growth
Maximilian Schmitt, Holger Stark
The growth of bacterial flagellar filaments is a self-assembly process where flagellin molecules are transported through the narrow core of the flagellum and are added at the dista…
Swimming active droplet: A theoretical analysis
Maximilian Schmitt, Holger Stark
Recently, an active microswimmer was constructed where a micron-sized droplet of bromine water was placed into a surfactant-laden oil phase. Due to a bromination reaction of the su…
Metachronal waves in a chain of rowers with hydrodynamic interactions
Christopher Wollin, Holger Stark
Filaments on the surface of a microorganism such as Paramecium or Ophalina beat highly synchronized and form so-called metachronal waves that travel along the surfaces. In order to…
Archimedean-like colloidal tilings on substrates with decagonal and tetradecagonal symmetry
Michael Schmiedeberg, Jules Mikhael, Sebastian Rausch +4
Two-dimensional colloidal suspensions subject to laser interference patterns with decagonal symmetry can form an Archimedean-like tiling phase where rows of squares and triangles o…
