Interactions between droplets in immiscible liquid suspensions and the influence of surfactants
A. J. Archer, D. N. Sibley, B. D. Goddard
We develop a general method for determining the effective interaction potential between two or more droplets suspended within a fluid phase. Our approach is based on classical dens…
Nonequilibrium statistics of barrier crossings with competing pathways
Gulzar Ahmad, Sergey Saveliev, Steven P Fitzgerald +2
Many biological, chemical, and physical systems are underpinned by stochastic transitions between equilibrium states in a potential energy. Here, we consider such transitions in a…
Timescales for stochastic barrier crossing: inferring the potential from nonequilibrium data
A. J. Archer, T. Ala-Nissila, T. J. W. Honour +1
Kramers' rate theory forms a cornerstone for thermally activated barrier crossing. However, its reliance on equilibrium quantities excludes analysis of nonequilibrium dynamics at e…
Coexisting multiphase and interfacial behaviour of ouzo
David N. Sibley, Benjamin D. Goddard, Fouzia F. Ouali +2
Multi-component liquid mixtures can be both complex and fascinating, with some systems being amenable to simple experimentation at home, giving valuable insight into fundamental as…
