Dominating Lengthscales of Zebrafish Collective Behaviour
Yushi Yang, Francesco Turci, Erika Kague +3
Collective behaviour in living systems is observed across many scales, from bacteria to insects, to fish shoals. Zebrafish have emerged as a model system amenable to laboratory stu…
Biases in Inverse Ising Estimates of Near-Critical Behaviour
Maximilian Benedikt Kloucek, Thomas Machon, Shogo Kajimura +3
Inverse Ising inference allows pairwise interactions of complex binary systems to be reconstructed from empirical correlations. Typical estimators used for this inference, such as…
Direct Imaging of Contacts and Forces in Colloidal Gels
Jun Dong, Francesco Turci, Robert L. Jack +2
Colloidal dispersions are prized as model systems to understand basic properties of materials, and are central to a wide range of industries from cosmetics to foods to agrichemical…
Wetting transition of active Brownian particles on a thin membrane
Francesco Turci, Nigel B. Wilding
We study non-equilibrium analogues of surface phase transitions in a minimal model of active particles in contact with a purely repulsive potential barrier that mimics a thin porou…
Relaxation mechanisms in supercooled liquids past the Mode--Coupling Crossover: Cooperatively Re--arranging Regions vs Excitations
Levke Ortlieb, Trond S. Ingebrigtsen, James E. Hallett +2
Among the challenges in discriminating between theoretical approaches to the glass transition is obtaining suitable data. In particular, particle--resolved data in liquids supercoo…
Phase separation and multibody effects in three-dimensional active Brownian particles
Francesco Turci, Nigel B. Wilding
Simulation studies of the phase diagram of repulsive active Brownian particles in three dimensions reveal that the region of motility-induced phase separation between a high and lo…
Dynamical Phase Transitions and their Relation to Thermodynamic Glass Physics
C. Patrick Royall, Francesco Turci, Thomas Speck
We review recent developments in structural-dynamical phase transitions in trajectory space. An open question is how the dynamic facilitation theory of the glass transition may be…
The Devil is in the details: Pentagonal bipyramids and dynamic arrest
James E. Hallett, Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall
Colloidal suspensions have long been studied as a model for atomic and molecular systems, due to the ability to fluorescently label and individually track each particle, yielding p…
Many-body correlations from integral geometry
Joshua F. Robinson, Francesco Turci, Roland Roth +1
In a recent letter we presented a framework for predicting the concentrations of many-particle local structures inside the bulk liquid as a route to assessing changes in the liquid…
Competing Active and Passive Interactions Drive Amoeba-like Living Crystallites and Ordered Bands
Abraham Mauleon-Amieva, Majid Mosayebi, James E. Hallett +4
Swimmers and self-propelled particles are physical models for the collective behaviour and motility of a wide variety of living systems, such as bacteria colonies, bird flocks and…
Dynamical solid-liquid transition through oscillatory shear
Eric Brillaux, Francesco Turci
Starting from an ideal crystalline state, we numerically study a nonequilibrium dynamical order- disorder transition promoted by the application of a periodic shearing protocol at…
Coupling of sedimentation and liquid structure: influence on hard sphere nucleation
Nicholas Wood, John Russo, Francesco Turci +1
The discrepancy in nucleation rate densities between simulated and experimental hard spheres remains staggering and unexplained. Suggestively, more strongly sedimenting colloidal s…
Morphometric approach to many-body correlations in hard spheres
Joshua F. Robinson, Francesco Turci, Roland Roth +1
We model the thermodynamics of local structures within the hard sphere liquid at arbitrary volume fractions through the \textit{morphometric} calculation of -body correlations.…
Devitrification of the Kob-Andersen glass former: Competition with the locally favored structure
Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall, Thomas Speck
Supercooled liquids are kinetically trapped materials in which the transition to a thermodynamically more stable state with long-range order is strongly suppressed. To assess the g…
Structural-dynamical transition in the Wahnström mixture
Francesco Turci, Thomas Speck, C. Patrick Royall
In trajectory space, dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids correspond to the emergence of a dynamical phase transition between an active phase poor in local structure…
Experimental Determination of Configurational Entropy in a Two-Dimensional Liquid under Random Pinning
Ian Williams, Francesco Turci, James E. Hallett +4
A quasi two-dimensional colloidal suspension is studied under the influence of immobilisation (pinning) of a random fraction of its particles. We introduce a novel experimental met…
Structural Covariance in the Hard Sphere Fluid
Benjamin M. G. D. Carter, Francesco Turci, Pierre Ronceray +1
We study the joint variability of structural information in a hard sphere fluid biased to avoid crystallisation and form fivefold symmetric geometric motifs. We show that the struc…
The race to the bottom: approaching the ideal glass?
C. Patrick Royall, Francesco Turci, Soichi Tatsumi +2
Key to resolving the scientific challenge of the glass transition is to understand the origin of the massive increase in viscosity of liquids cooled below their melting temperature…
Long-Lived Non-Equilibrium Interstitial-Solid-Solutions in Binary Mixtures
I. Ríos de Anda, F. Turci, R. Sear +1
We perform particle resolved experimental studies on the heterogeneous crystallisation process of two compo- nent mixtures of hard spheres. The components have a size ratio of 0.39…
Effects of vertical confinement on gelation and sedimentation of colloids
Azaima Razali, Christopher J. Fullerton, Francesco Turci +3
We consider the sedimentation of a colloidal gel under confinement in the direction of gravity. The confinement allows us to compare directly experiments and computer simulations,…
From glass formation to icosahedral ordering by curving three-dimensional space
Francesco Turci, Gilles Tarjus, C. Patrick Royall
Geometric frustration describes the inability of a local molecular arrangement, such as icosahedra found in metallic glasses and in model atomic glass-formers, to tile space. Local…
Experimental Evidence for a Structural-Dynamical Transition in Trajectory Space
Rattachai Pinchaipat, Matteo Campo, Francesco Turci +3
Among the key insights into the glass transition has been the identification of a non-equilibrium phase transition in trajectory space which reveals phase coexistence between the n…
Local structure of percolating gels at very low volume fractions
Samuel Griffiths, Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall
The formation of colloidal gels is strongly dependent on the volume fraction of the system and the strength of the interactions between the colloids. Here we explore very dilute so…
Controlling local order of athermal self-propelled particles
Niamh Dougan, Peter Crowther, Francesco Turci +1
We consider a model of self-propelled dynamics for athermal active particles, where the non-equilibrium active forces are modelled by a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In the limit of…
