Effective potentials induced by self-assembly of patchy particles
Nicolás Ariel García, Nicoletta Gnan, Emanuela Zaccarelli
Effective colloid-colloid interactions can be tailored through the addition of a complex cosolute. Here we investigate the case of a cosolute made by self-assembling patchy particl…
Discontinuous change from thermally- to geometrically- dominated effective interactions in colloidal solutions
Nicoletta Gnan, Francesco Sciortino, Emanuela Zaccarelli
We report numerical results for the effective potential arising between two colloids immersed in a self-assembling cosolute which forms reversible clusters. The potential is evalua…
Dynamical and structural signatures of the glass transition in emulsions
Chi Zhang, Nicoletta Gnan, Thomas G. Mason +2
We investigate structural and dynamical properties of moderately polydisperse emulsions across an extended range of droplet volume fractions phgr, encompassing fluid and glassy sta…
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…
The Physics of Protein Self-Assembly
Jennifer J. McManus, Patrick Charbonneau, Emanuela Zaccarelli +1
Understanding protein self-assembly is important for many biological and industrial processes. Proteins can self-assemble into crystals, filaments, gels, and other amorphous aggreg…
