Line contribution to the critical Casimir force between a homogeneous and a chemically stepped surface

Francesco Parisen Toldin, Matthias Tröndle, S. Dietrich

Recent experimental realizations of the critical Casimir effect have been implemented by monitoring colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture near demixing and expose…

Critical Casimir forces between planar and crenellated surfaces

M. Tröndle, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich

We study critical Casimir forces between planar walls and geometrically structured substrates within mean-field theory. As substrate structures, crenellated surfaces consisting of…

Effective interaction between a colloid and a soft interface near criticality

Adam D. Law, Ludger Harnau, Matthias Troendle +1

Within mean-field theory we determine the universal scaling function for the effective force acting on a single colloid located near the interface between two coexisting liquid pha…

Alignment of cylindrical colloids near chemically patterned substrates induced by critical Casimir torques

M. Labbé-Laurent, M. Tröndle, L. Harnau +1

Recent experiments have demonstrated a fluctuation-induced lateral trapping of spherical colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture near its critical demixing point an…

Critical Casimir forces between homogeneous and chemically striped surfaces

Francesco Parisen Toldin, Matthias Tröndle, S. Dietrich

Recent experiments have measured the critical Casimir force acting on a colloid immersed in a binary liquid mixture near its continuous demixing phase transition and exposed to a c…

Critical Casimir effect for colloids close to chemically patterned substrates

M. Tröndle, S. Kondrat, A. Gambassi +2

Colloids immersed in a critical or near-critical binary liquid mixture and close to a chemically patterned substrate are subject to normal and lateral critical Casimir forces of do…
