Geometry-Induced Transport of Self-Aligning Chiral Bristlebots
Timo Wagner, Michael Himpel, Thomas Ihle +1
Active matter systems characterized by the interplay of chirality and self-alignment offer a rich landscape for non-equilibrium collective behaviors and the development of autonomo…
Reduced density fluctuations via anti-aligning in active matter
Horst-Holger Boltz, Thomas Ihle
We highlight the importance of long-range correlations in active matter systems of self-propelling particles even in the absence of global order or steric interactions by demonstra…
Elastic capsules at liquid-liquid interfaces
Jonas Hegemann, Horst-Holger Boltz, Jan Kierfeld
We investigate the deformation of elastic microcapsules adsorbed at liquid-liquid interfaces. An initially spherical elastic capsule at a liquid-liquid interface undergoes circumfe…
Buckling of elastic filaments by discrete magnetic moments
Horst-Holger Boltz, Stefan Klumpp
We study the buckling of an idealized, semiflexible filament along whose contour magnetic moments are placed. {We give analytic expressions for the critical stiffness of the filame…
Stationary shapes of deformable particles moving at low Reynolds numbers
Horst-Holger Boltz, Jan Kierfeld
Lecture Notes of the Summer School ``Microswimmers -- From Single Particle Motion to Collective Behaviour'', organised by the DFG Priority Programme SPP 1726 (Forschungszentrum J{ü…
Shapes of sedimenting soft elastic capsules in a viscous fluid
Horst-Holger Boltz, Jan Kierfeld
Soft elastic capsules which are driven through a viscous fluid undergo shape deformation coupled to their motion. We introduce an iterative solution scheme which couples hydrodynam…
Monte Carlo Simulation of Dense Polymer Melts Using Event Chain Algorithms
Tobias Alexander Kampmann, Horst-Holger Boltz, Jan Kierfeld
We propose an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for the off-lattice simulation of dense hard sphere polymer melts using cluster moves, called event chains, which allow for a rejectio…
Controlling adsorption of semiflexible polymers on planar and curved substrates
Tobias A. Kampmann, Horst-Holger Boltz, Jan Kierfeld
We study the adsorption of semiflexible polymers such as polyelectrolytes or DNA on planar and curved substrates, e.g., spheres or washboard substrates via short-range potentials u…
