Elasticity-mediated Morphogenesis in Interfacial Colloidal Assemblies
Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Sayantan Chanda, Rituparno Mandal +1
We study the self-assembly of colloidal microgel particles at a quasi-two-dimensional air-water interface of a drying droplet. Using bright-field microscopy, we demonstrate that in…
The Jammed Phase of Infinitely Persistent Active Matter
M. C. Gandikota, Rituparno Mandal, Pinaki Chaudhuri +2
We study an extreme active matter system, which is essentially a dense assembly of athermal, soft and infinitely persistent active particles. Using extensive numerical simulations…
Reentrant melting of scarred odd crystals by self-shear
Uttam Tiwari, Pragya Arora, A K Sood +3
Spatial confinement can induce geometrical frustration in condensed phases, giving rise to topological defects that confer materials with new and exotic properties. Here, we experi…
Trainable amorphous matter: tuning yielding by mechanical annealing
Maitri Mandal, Pappu Acharya, Rituparno Mandal +1
Living organisms can demonstrate highly adaptable and sophisticated responses using memory resulting from repeated exposure to external conditions or training. However, realizing s…
Effects of Non-reciprocity on Coupled Kuramoto Oscillators
Shaon Mandal Chakraborty, Bibhut Sahoo, Peter Sollich +1
All the fundamental interactions (such as gravity or electromagnetic interactions) are reciprocal in nature. However, in the macroscopic world, in particular outside equilibrium, n…
Nonreciprocal Model B: The role of mobilities and nonreciprocal interfacial forces
Bibhut Sahoo, Rituparno Mandal, Peter Sollich
We study a non-reciprocal version of Model B, as the continuum theory for non-reciprocal particle mixtures. In contrast to non-reciprocal Cahn-Hilliard models, it is important in t…
