On the origin of the negative energy-related contribution to the elastic modulus of rubber-like gels
L. K. R. Duarte, L. G. Rizzi
We consider a coarse-grained polymer model in order to investigate the origin of a recently discovered negative energy-related contribution to the elastic modulus of rubber-…
Microcanonical characterization of first-order phase transitions in a generalized model for aggregation
L. F. Trugilho, L. G. Rizzi
Aggregation transitions in disordered mesoscopic systems play an important role in several areas of knowledge, from materials science to biology. The lack of a thermodynamic limit…
Time-correlated forces and biological variability in cell motility
T. N. Azevedo, L. G. Rizzi
Cell motility is one of the most fundamental phenomena underlying biological processes that maintain living organisms alive. Here we introduce a simple model to describe the motili…
Shape-free theory for the self-assembly kinetics in macromolecular systems
L. F. Trugilho, L. G. Rizzi
Self-assembly kinetics is usually described by approaches which assume that the shape of the aggregates has a definite form (e.g., spherical, cylindrical, cubic, etc), however that…
Motion-induced inertial effects and topological phase transitions in skyrmion transport
Allison W. Teixeira, Sebastián Castillo-Sepúlveda, Leandro G. Rizzi +5
In this work, the current-induced inertial effects on skyrmions hosted in ferromagnetic systems are studied. {When the dynamics is considered beyond the particle-like description,…
Microrheology of semiflexible filament solutions based on relaxation simulations
L. K. R. Duarte, A. V. N. C. Teixeira, L. G. Rizzi
We present an efficient computational methodology to obtain the viscoelastic response of dilute solutions of semiflexible filaments. By considering an approach based on the fluctua…
