Depletion forces between two spheres in a rod solution
K. Yaman, C. Jeppesen, C. M. Marques
We study the depletion interaction between spherical particles of radius R immersed in a dilute solution of rigid rods of length L. The computed interaction potential is, within nu…

Rods Near Curved Surfaces and in Curved Boxes
K. Yaman, M. Jeng, P. Pincus +2
We consider an ideal gas of infinitely rigid rods near a perfectly repulsive wall, and show that the interfacial tension of a surface with rods on one side is lower when the surfac…
