Phase-Field Models for Particle-Stabilised Emulsions
Elisabeth C. Eij, Joost de Graaf, Martin F. Haase +1
Particle-stabilised emulsions are a cornerstone of soft matter science due to their broad application and fundamental relevance. Computer simulations provide key insights into the…
The Geometry behind the Glass Transition and Frictional Jamming in Systems of Two-Dimensional Hard Disks
Joost de Graaf
The relation between dynamics and structure in systems of Brownian bidisperse 2D hard disks with arrested dynamics is examined using numerical simulations. Surprisingly, the suspen…
Structuring Colloidal Gels via Micro-Bubble Oscillations
Kim William Torre, Joost de Graaf
Locally (re)structuring colloidal gels $\unicode{x2013}$ micron-sized particles forming a connected network with arrested dynamics $\unicode{x2013}$ enables precise tuning of the m…
Self-Thermoelectrophoresis at Low Salinity
Joost de Graaf, Sela Samin
A locally heated Janus colloid can achieve motion in a fluid through the coupling of dissolved ions and the medium's polarizibility to an imposed temperature gradient, an effect kn…
Nanoparticle Translocation through Conical Nanopores: A Finite Element Study of Electrokinetic Transport
Georg Rempfer, Sascha Ehrhardt, Christian Holm +1
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in nanopores because such structures show a strong potential for characterizing nanoparticles, proteins, DNA, and even single molecules.…
