Asymmetric bistability of chiral particle orientation in viscous shear flows
Andreas Zöttl, Francesca Tesser, Daiki Matsunaga +3
The migration of helical particles in viscous shear flows plays a crucial role in chiral particle sorting. Attaching a non-chiral head to a helical particle leads to a rheotactic t…
Active boundary layers
Jérôme Hardoüin, Claire Doré, Justine Laurent +3
The role of boundary layers in conventional liquid crystals is commonly subsumed in their anchoring on confining walls. In the classical view, anchoring enslaves the orientational…
Reconfigurable Flows and Defect Landscape of Confined Active Nematics
Jérôme Hardoüin, Rian Hughes, Amin Doostmohammadi +5
Using novel micro-printing techniques, we develop a versatile experimental setup that allows us to study how lateral confinement tames the active flows and defect properties of the…
Capillary force on a tilted cylinder: AFM measurements
Sebastien Kosgodagan Acharige, Justine Laurent, Audrey Steinberger
We investigate the capillary force that applies on a tilted cylinder as a function of its dipping angle i, using a home-built tilting Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) with custom made…
Microrheology measurements with a hanging-fiber AFM probe
Clemence Devailly, Justine Laurent, Audrey Steinberger +2
A method to measure the viscosity of liquids at microscales is presented. It uses a thin glass fiber fixed on the tip of the cantilever of an extremely low noise Atomic Force Micro…
