Effect of the number of patches on the growth of networks of patchy colloids on substrates
C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo, M. M. Telo da Gama
We investigate numerically the irreversible aggregation of patchy spherical colloids on a flat substrate. We consider -patch particles and characterize the dependence of the irr…
Kinetic interfaces of patchy particles
N. A. M. Araújo, C. S. Dias, M. M. Telo da Gama
We study the irreversible adsorption of patchy particles on substrates in the limit of advective mass transport. Recent numerical results show that the interface roughening depends…
The effect of anchoring on nematic flow in channels
V. M. O. Batista, M. L. Blow, M. M. Telo da Gama
Understanding the flow of liquid crystals in microfluidic environments plays an important role in many fields, including device design and microbiology. We perform hybrid lattice-B…
Kinetic roughening of aggregates of patchy colloids with strong and weak bonds
C. S. Dias, N. A. M. Araújo, M. M. Telo da Gama
We study the irreversible aggregation of films of patchy spherical colloids with directional and selective interactions. We report a crossover of the interfacial roughening from th…
Structure of the cholesteric-isotropic interface
N. R. Bernardino, M. C. F. Pereira, N. M. Silvestre +1
The interface of a cholesteric liquid crystal with an isotropic fluid can display a range of unusual properties, such as a layer of topological defects close to an undulated interf…
Particle selection through topographic surface patterns in nematic colloids
Z. Eskandari, N. M. Silvestre, M. M. Telo da Gama +1
We propose the use of topographic modulation of surfaces to select and localize particles in nematic colloids. By considering convex and concave deformations of one of the confinin…
