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…

Many-body effects for critical Casimir forces

T. G. Mattos, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich

Within mean-field theory we calculate the scaling functions associated with critical Casimir forces for a system consisting of two spherical colloids immersed in a binary liquid mi…

Critical Casimir forces and adsorption profiles in the presence of a chemically structured substrate

Francesco Parisen Toldin, Siegfried Dietrich

Motivated by recent experiments with confined binary liquid mixtures near demixing, we study the universal critical properties of a system, which belongs to the Ising universality…

Critical Casimir effect in classical binary liquid mixtures

A. Gambassi, A. Maciolek, C. Hertlein +4

If a fluctuating medium is confined, the ensuing perturbation of its fluctuation spectrum generates Casimir-like effective forces acting on its confining surfaces. Near a continuou…

Bulk and interfacial properties of binary hard-platelet fluids

M. Bier, L. Harnau, S. Dietrich

Interfaces between demixed fluid phases of binary mixtures of hard platelets are investigated using density-functional theory. The corresponding excess free energy functional is ca…
