Anomalous dynamics of intruders in a crowded environment of mobile obstacles
Tatjana Sentjabrskaja, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Cristiano De Michele +5
Many natural and industrial processes rely on constrained transport, such as proteins moving through cells, particles confined in nanocomposite materials or gels, individuals in hi…
Critical Casimir forces and colloidal aggregation: A numerical study
Nicoletta Gnan, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Piero Tartaglia +1
We present a numerical study of the effective potential between two hard-sphere colloids dispersed in a solvent of interacting particles, for several values of tem…
Connecting Irreversible to Reversible Aggregation: Time and Temperature
Silvia Corezzi, Cristiano De Michele, Emanuela Zaccarelli +2
We report molecular dynamics simulations of a gel-forming mixture of ellipsoidal patchy particles with different functionality. We show that in this model, which disfavors the form…
Multiple glass transitions in star polymer mixtures: Insights from theory and simulations
Christian Mayer, Francesco Sciortino, Christos N. Likos +3
The glass transition in binary mixtures of star polymers is studied by mode coupling theory and extensive molecular dynamics computer simulations. In particular, we have explored v…
Theoretical and numerical study of the phase diagram of patchy colloids: ordered and disordered patch arrangements
Emanuela Bianchi, Piero Tartaglia, Emanuela Zaccarelli +1
We report theoretical and numerical evaluations of the phase diagram for a model of patchy particles. Specifically we study hard-spheres whose surface is decorated by a small numbe…
A fully solvable equilibrium self-assembly process: fine tuning the clusters size and the connectivity in patchy particle systems
Emanuela Bianchi, Emilia La Nave, Piero Tartaglia +1
Self-assembly is the mechanism that controls the formation of well defined structures from disordered pre-existing parts. Despite the importance of self-assembly as a manufacturing…
