Geometrically-frustrated interactions drive structural complexity in amorphous calcium carbonate
Thomas C. Nicholas, Adam E. Stones, Adam Patel +5
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is an important precursor for biomineralisation in marine organisms. Among the key outstanding problems regarding ACC are how best to understand i…
Colloidal smectics in button-like confinements: experiment and theory
René Wittmann, Paul A. Monderkamp, Jingmin Xia +5
Liquid crystals can self-organize into a layered smectic phase. While the smectic layers are typically straight forming a lamellar pattern in bulk, external confinement may drastic…
Discovering dynamic laws from observations: the case of self-propelled, interacting colloids
Miguel Ruiz-Garcia, C. Miguel Barriuso G., Lachlan C. Alexander +3
Active matter spans a wide range of time and length scales, from groups of cells and synthetic self-propelled particles to schools of fish, flocks of birds, or even human crowds. T…
Topology of orientational defects in confined smectic liquid crystals
Paul A. Monderkamp, René Wittmann, Louis B. G. Cortes +3
We propose a general formalism to characterize orientational frustration of smectic liquid crystals in confinement by interpreting the emerging networks of grain boundaries as obje…
Particle-resolved topological defects of smectic colloidal liquid crystals in extreme confinement
René Wittmann, Louis B. G. Cortes, Hartmut Löwen +1
Confined samples of liquid crystals are characterized by a variety of topological defects and can be exposed to external constraints such as extreme confinements with nontrivial to…
Characterization of MIPS in a suspension of repulsive Active Brownian Particles through dynamical features
Jose Martin, Raul Martinez, Lachlan C. Alexander +5
The two-dimensional Active Brownian Particles system is meant to be composed of hard disks, that show excluded volume interactions, usually simulated via molecular dynamics using p…
