Estimation of the critical behavior in an active colloidal system with Vicsek-like interactions
Benjamin Trefz, Jonathan Tammo Siebert, Thomas Speck +2
We study numerically the critical behavior of a modified, active Asakura-Oosawa model for colloid-polymer mixtures. The colloids are modeled as self-propelled particles with Vicsek…
Scaling behavior of topologically constrained polymer rings in a melt
Benjamin Trefz, Peter Virnau
Large scale molecular dynamics simulations on graphic processing units (GPUs) are employed to study the scaling behavior of ring polymers with various topological constraints in me…
How molecular knots can pass through each other
Benjamin Trefz, Jonathan Siebert, Peter Virnau
We propose a mechanism in which two molecular knots pass through each other and swap positions along a polymer strand. Associated free energy barriers in our simulations only amoun…
Phase Behavior of Active Swimmers in Depletants: Molecular Dynamics and Integral Equation Theory
Subir K. Das, Sergei Egorov, Benjamin Trefz +2
We study the structure and phase behavior of a binary mixture where one of the components is self-propelling in nature. The inter-particle interactions in the system were taken fro…
