Dynamics of a microswimmer near a curved wall: guided and trapped locomotions
Nima Sharifi-Mood, Pablo G. Díaz-Hyland, Ubaldo M. Córdova-Figueroa
We propose a combined analytical-numerical strategy to predict the dynamics and trajectory of a microswimmer next to a curved spherical obstacle. The microswimmer is actuated by a…
Elastocapillary driven assembly of particles at free-standing smectic-A films
Mohamed Amine Gharbi, Daniel A. Beller, Nima Sharifi-Mood +4
Colloidal particles at complex fluid interfaces and within films assemble to form ordered structures with high degrees of symmetry via interactions that include capillarity, elasti…
Curvature capillary repulsion
Iris B. Liu, Giulia Bigazzi, Nima Sharifi-Mood +2
Directed assembly of colloids is an exciting field in materials science to form structures with new symmetries and responses. Fluid interfaces have been widely exploited to make de…
Curvature-driven migration of colloids on lipid bilayers
Ningwei Li, Nima Sharifi-Mood, Fuquan Tu +4
Colloids and proteins alike can bind to lipid bilayers and move laterally in these two-dimensional fluids. Inspired by proteins that generate membrane curvature, sense the underlyi…
Films of bacteria at interfaces: three stages of behaviour
Liana Vaccari, Daniel Allan, Nima Sharifi-Mood +3
Bacterial attachment to a fluid interface can lead to the formation of a film with physicochemical properties that evolve with time. We study the time evolution of interface (micro…
Curvature Capillary Migration of Microspheres
Nima Sharifi-Mood, Iris B. Liu, Kathleen J. Stebe
We address the question: How does capillarity propel microspheres along curvature gradients? For a particle on a fluid interface, there are two conditions that can apply at the thr…
