The Helical Superstructure of Intermediate Filaments
Lila Bouzar, Martin Michael Müller, René Messina +4
Intermediate filaments are the least explored among the large cytoskeletal elements. We show here that they display conformational anomalies in narrow microfluidic channels. Their…
Confined colloidal crystals in and out of equilibrium
A. Reinmüller, E. C. Oğuz, R. Messina +3
Recent studies on confined crystals of charged colloidal particles are reviewed, both in equilibrium and out of equilibrium. We focus in particular on direct comparisons of experim…
Packing Confined Hard Spheres Denser with Adaptive Prism Phases
Erdal C. Oğuz, Matthieu Marechal, Fernando Ramiro-Manzano +4
We show that hard spheres confined between two parallel hard plates pack denser with periodic adaptive prismatic structures which are composed of alternating prisms of spheres. The…
Soft repulsive mixtures under gravity: brazil-nut effect, depletion bubbles, boundary layering, nonequilibrium shaking
Tobias Kruppa, Tim Neuhaus, René Messina +1
A binary mixture of particles interacting via long-ranged repulsive forces is studied in gravity by computer simulation and theory. The more repulsive A-particles create a depletio…
Ionic mixtures in two dimensions: from crystals to chain and dipole gases
Lahcen Assoud, René Messina, Hartmut Löwen
The ground state of a two-dimensional ionic mixture composed of oppositely charged spheres is determined as a function of the size asymmetry by using a penalty method. The cascade…
Statistics of polymer adsorption under shear flow
Gui-Li He, René Messina, Hartmut Löwen
Using non-equilibrium Brownian dynamics computer simulations, we have investigated the steady state statistics of a polymer chain under three different shear environments: i) linea…
