Arrested coalescence of viscoelastic droplets: Triplet shape and restructuring
Prerna Dahiya, Andrew DeBenedictis, Timothy J. Atherton +4
The stability of shapes formed by three viscoelastic droplets during their arrested coalescence has been investigated using micromanipulation experiments. Addition of a third dropl…
Percolation transition in the packing of bidispersed particles on curved surfaces
Andrew M. Mascioli, Christopher J. Burke, Timothy J. Atherton
We study packings of bidispersed spherical particles on a spherical surface. The presence of curvature necessitates defects even for monodispersed particles; bidispersity either le…
Shape minimization problems in liquid crystals
Andrew DeBenedictis, Timothy J Atherton
We consider a class of liquid crystal free-boundary problems for which both the equilibrium shape and internal configuration of a system must simultaneously be determined, for exam…
Jamming on curved surfaces
Christopher J. Burke, Timothy J. Atherton
Colloidal and other granular media experience a transition to rigidity known as jamming if the fill fraction is increased beyond a critical value. The resulting jammed structures a…
Developing a project-based computational physics course grounded in expert practice
Christopher Burke, Timothy J Atherton
We describe a project-based computational physics course developed using a backwards course design approach. From an initial competency-based model of problem solving in computatio…
Maximizing the hyperpolarizability of 1D potentials with multiple electrons
Christopher J. Burke, Joseph Lesnefsky, Rolfe G. Petschek +1
We optimize the first and second intrinsic hyperpolarizabilities for a 1D piecewise linear potential dressed with Dirac delta functions for non-interacting electrons. The optim…
