Spatial signal amplification in cell biology: a lattice-gas model for self-tuned phase ordering
Teresa Ferraro, Antonio de Candia, Andrea Gamba +1
Experiments show that the movement of eukaryotic cells is regulated by a process of phase separation of two competing enzymes on the cell membrane, that effectively amplifies shall…
Dynamic heterogeneities in attractive colloids
A. Fierro, E. Del Gado, A. de Candia +1
We study the formation of a colloidal gel by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations of a model for colloidal suspensions. A slowing down with gel-like features is observed at low…
Granular packs under vertical tapping: structure evolution, grain motion, and dynamical heterogeneities
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Mario Nicodemi, Antonio Coniglio
The compaction dynamics of a granular media subject to a sequence of vertical taps made of fluid pulses is investigated via Molecular Dynamics simulations. Our study focuses on thr…
Lamellar order, microphase structures and glassy phase in a field theoretic model for charged colloids
Marco Tarzia, Antonio Coniglio
In this paper we present a detailed analytical study of the phase diagram and of the structural properties of a field theoretic model with a short-range attraction and a competing…
