Percolation in binary mixtures of linkers and particles: chaining {\it {vs}} branching
M. Gouveia, C. S. Dias, J. M. Tavares
Equilibrium gels of colloidal particles can be realized through the introduction of a second species, a linker that mediates the bonds between the colloids. A gel forming binary mi…
Building up DNA, bit by bit: a simple description of chain assembly
R. Foffi, F. Sciortino, J. M. Tavares +1
We simulate the assembly of DNA copolymers from two types of short duplexes (short double strands with a single-stranded overhang at each end), as described by the oxDNA model. We…
Smoluchowski equations for linker-mediated irreversible aggregation
J. M. Tavares, G. C. Antunes, C. S. Dias +2
In order to study linker-mediated aggregation of colloidal particles with limited valence, we combine kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and an approximate theory based on the Smoluch…
Dynamics of patchy particles in and out of equilibrium
J. M. Tavares, C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo +1
We combine particle-based simulations, mean-field rate equations, and Wertheim's theory to study the dynamics of patchy particles in and out of equilibrium, at different temperatur…
Reentrant spinodals and the Speedy scenario in colloidal model systems
Lorenzo Rovigatti, Valentino Bianco, José Maria Tavares +1
A re-entrant gas-liquid spinodal was proposed as a possible explanation of the apparent divergence of the compressibility and specific heat on supercooling water. Such a counter in…
Dynamics of a network fluid within the liquid-gas coexistence region
C. S. Dias, J. M. Tavares, N. A. M. Araujo +1
Low-density networks of molecules or colloids are formed at low temperatures when the interparticle interactions are valence limited. Prototypical examples are networks of patchy p…
