The effect of flexibility and bend angle on the phase diagram of hard colloidal boomerangs
Tara Drwenski, René van Roij
We study the effect of flexibility and bend angle on systems of hard semiflexible boomerangs. These are modelled as two rodlike segments joined at one end with an angle that can fl…
Connectedness percolation of hard convex polygonal rods and platelets
Tara Drwenski, René van Roij, Paul van der Schoot
The properties of polymer composites with nanofiller particles change drastically above a critical filler density known as the percolation threshold. Real nanofillers, such as grap…
Hard competition: stabilizing the elusive biaxial nematic phase in suspensions of colloidal particles with extreme lengths
Simone Dussi, Nikos Tasios, Tara Drwenski +2
We use computer simulations to study the existence and stability of a biaxial nematic phase in systems of hard polyhedral cuboids, triangular prisms, and rhombic platelets, c…
Connectedness percolation of hard deformed rods
Tara Drwenski, Simone Dussi, Marjolein Dijkstra +2
Nanofiller particles, such as carbon nanotubes or metal wires, are used in functional polymer composites to make them conduct electricity. They are often not perfectly straight cyl…
Sedimentation stacking diagrams of binary mixtures of thick and thin hard rods
Tara Drwenski, Patrick Hooijer, René van Roij
We use Onsager theory and the local density approximation to study sedimentation-diffusion equilibrium density profiles of binary mixtures of thick and thin hard rods. We construct…
Phase diagrams of charged colloidal rods: can a uniaxial charge distribution break chiral symmetry?
Tara Drwenski, Simone Dussi, Michiel Hermes +2
We construct phase diagrams for charged rodlike colloids within the second-virial approximation as a function of rod concentration, salt concentration, and colloidal charge. Beside…
Thermodynamics and CP-odd transport in Holographic QCD with Finite Magnetic Field
Tara Drwenski, Umut Gursoy, Ioannis Iatrakis
We consider a bottom-up holographic model of QCD at finite temperature T and magnetic field B, and study dependence of thermodynamics and CP-odd transport on these variables. As th…
