Entropic alignment of topologically modified ring polymers in cylindrical confinement
Sanjay Bhandarkar, Debarshi Mitra, Jürgen Horbach +1
Under high cylindrical confinement, segments of ring polymers can be localized along the long axis of the cylinder by introducing internal loops within the ring polymer. The emerge…

Active Particle Doping Suppresses Brittle Failure in Ultrastable Glasses
Rashmi Priya, Jürgen Horbach, Smarajit Karmakar
Ultrastable glasses are known for their exceptional mechanical stability but often fail in a brittle manner, typically marked by the formation of shear bands when subjected to shea…

Thermostatting of Active Hamiltonian Systems via Symplectic Algorithms
Antik Bhattacharya, Jürgen Horbach, Smarajit Karmakar
We consider a class of non-standard, two-dimensional (2D) Hamiltonian models that may show features of active particle dynamics, and therefore, we refer to these models as active H…
