Climbing two hills is faster than one: collective barrier-crossing by colloids driven through a microchannel
Urs Zimmermann, Hartmut Löwen, Christian Kreuter +3
Ohm's law is one of the most central transport rules stating that the total resistance of sequential single resistances is additive. While this rule is most commonly applied to ele…
Dynamic mode locking in a driven colloidal system: experiments and theory
Michael P. N. Juniper, Urs Zimmermann, Arthur V. Straube +4
In this article we examine the dynamics of a colloidal particle driven by a modulated force over a sinusoidal optical potential energy landscape. Coupling between the competing fre…
Flow of colloidal solids and fluids through constrictions: dynamical density functional theory versus simulation
Urs Zimmermann, Frank Smallenburg, Hartmut Löwen
Using both dynamical density functional theory and particle-resolved Brownian dynamics simulations, we explore the flow of two-dimensional colloidal solids and fluids driven throug…
Differently Shaped Hard Body Colloids in Confinement: From passive to active particles
Henricus H. Wensink, Hartmut Löwen, Matthieu Marechal +5
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of anisotropic hard colloidal particles. The shapes considered range from rods and dumbbells to rounded cubes, polyhedra an…
Freezing of parallel hard cubes with rounded edges
Matthieu Marechal, Urs Zimmermann, Hartmut Löwen
The freezing transition in a classical three-dimensional system of parallel hard cubes with rounded edges is studied by computer simulation and fundamental-measure density function…
