Quorum-sensing active particles with discontinuous motility
Andreas Fischer, Friederike Schmid, Thomas Speck
We develop a dynamic mean-field theory for polar active particles that interact through a self-generated field, in particular one generated through emitting a chemical signal. Whil…
Superfast collective motion of magnetic particles
Olga Baun, Peter Blümler, Friederike Schmid +2
It is well-known that magnetic forces can induce a formation of densely packed strings of magnetic particles or even sheafs of several strings (spindles). Here we show that in a su…
How ill-defined constituents produce well-defined nanoparticles: Effect of polymer dispersity on the uniformity of copolymeric micelles
Sriteja Mantha, Shuanhu Qi, Matthias Barz +1
We investigate the effect of polymer length dispersity on the properties of self-assembled micelles in solution by self-consistent field calculations. Polydispersity stabilizes mic…
