Effective capillary interaction of spherical particles at fluid interfaces
M. Oettel, A. Dominguez, S. Dietrich
We present a detailed analysis of the effective force between two smooth spherical colloids floating at a fluid interface due to deformations of the interface. The results hold in…
Bulk and wetting phenomena in a colloidal mixture of hard spheres and platelets
L. Harnau, S. Dietrich
Density functional theory is used to study binary colloidal fluids consisting of hard spheres and thin platelets in their bulk and near a planar hard wall. This system exhibits liq…
Liquid-crystalline Casimir effect in the presence of a patterned substrate
F. Karimi Pour Haddadan, F. Schlesener, S. Dietrich
We consider a nematic liquid crystal confined by two parallel planar interfaces, one being laterally homogeneous and the other provided by a substrate endowed with a periodic chemi…
Critical adsorption and Casimir torque in wedges and at ridges
G. Palagyi, S. Dietrich
Geometrical structures of confining surfaces profoundly influence the adsorption of fluids upon approaching a critical point T_c in their bulk phase diagram, i.e., for t=(T-T_c)/T_…
Colloidal hard-rod fluids near geometrically structured substrates
L. Harnau, F. Penna, S. Dietrich
Density functional theory is used to study colloidal hard-rod fluids near an individual right-angled wedge or edge as well as near a hard wall which is periodically patterned with…
Depletion potential in colloidal mixtures of hard spheres and platelets
L. Harnau, S. Dietrich
The depletion potential between two hard spheres in a solvent of thin hard disclike platelets is investigated by using either the Derjaguin approximation or density functional theo…
