Why Colloidal Systems can be described by Statistical Mechanics: Some not very original comments on the Gibbs paradox
Daan Frenkel
Colloidal particles are distinguishable. Moreover, their thermodynamic properties are extensive. Statistical Mechanics predicts such behaviour if one accepts that the configuration…
Numerical calculation of granular entropy
Daniel Asenjo, Fabien Paillusson, Daan Frenkel
We present numerical simulations that allow us to compute the number of ways in which particles can pack into a given volume . Our technique modifies the method of Xu et al.…
Living clusters and crystals from low density suspensions of active colloids
B. M. Mognetti, A. Šarić, S. Angioletti-Uberti +3
Recent studies aimed at investigating artificial analogs of bacterial colonies have shown that low-density suspensions of self-propelled particles confined in two dimensions can as…
Visualizing Basins of Attraction for Different Minimization Algorithms
Daniel Asenjo, Jacob D. Stevenson, David J. Wales +1
We report a study of the basins of attraction for potential energy minima defined by different minimisation algorithms for an atomic system. We find that whereas some minimisation…
Procedure to construct a multi-scale coarse-grained model of DNA-coated colloids from experimental data
Bianca M. Mladek, Julia Fornleitner, Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea +2
We present a quantitative, multi-scale coarse-grained model of DNA coated colloids. The parameters of this model are transferable and are solely based on experimental data. As a te…
Accounting for adsorption and desorption in lattice Boltzmann simulations
Maximilien Levesque, Magali Duvail, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +2
We report a Lattice-Boltzmann scheme that accounts for adsorption and desorption in the calculation of mesoscale dynamical properties of tracers in media of arbitrary complexity. L…
