Critical surface phase behavior governs hydrophobic attraction between extended solutes
Nigel B. Wilding, Francesco Turci
Hydrophobic interactions are central to biological self-assembly and soft matter organization, yet their microscopic origins remain debated. A key hallmark is the strengthening of…
What is the best simulation approach for measuring local density fluctuations near solvo/hydrophobes?
Nigel B. Wilding, Robert Evans, Francesco Turci
Measurements of local density fluctuations are crucial to characterizing the interfacial properties of equilibrium fluids. A specific case that has been well-explored involves the…
Partial and complete wetting of droplets of active Brownian particles
Francesco Turci, Robert L. Jack, Nigel B. Wilding
We study wetting droplets formed of active Brownian particles in contact with a repulsive potential barrier, in a wedge geometry. Our numerical results demonstrate a transition bet…
Surface melting and crystallisation driven by sedimentation: a particle resolved study
Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall
We investigate the effects of the reversal of the gravitational field onto a sedimented and partially crystallised suspension of nearly-hard sphere colloids. We analyse the structu…
Transport on a Lattice with Dynamical Defects
Francesco Turci, Andrea Parmeggiani, Estelle Pitard +2
Many transport processes in nature take place on substrates, often considered as unidimensional lanes. These unidimensional substrates are typically non-static: affected by a fluct…
