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…
Thermal Regelation of a Single Particle
Siyu Chen, Julia M. H. Schollick, Roel P. A. Dullens +1
In this paper we study the process termed thermal regelation at single particle level. We experimentally extract the physical parameters that determine the interactions between ice…
Dynamics of individual Brownian rods in a microchannel flow
Andreas Zöttl, Kira E. Klop, Andrew K. Balin +3
We study the orientational dynamics of heavy silica microrods flowing through a microfluidic channel. Comparing experiments and Brownian dynamics simulations we identify different…
Interrupted Motility Induced Phase Separation in Aligning Active Colloids
Marjolein N. van der Linden, Lachlan C. Alexander, Dirk G. A. L. Aarts +1
Switching on high activity in a relatively dense system of active Janus colloids, we observe fast clustering, followed by cluster aggregation towards full phase separation. The pha…
