Capillary bridging and long-range attractive forces in a mean-field approach
D. Andrienko, P. Patricio, O. I. Vinogradova
When a mixture is confined, one of the phases can condense out. This condensate, which is otherwise metastable in the bulk, is stabilized by the presence of surfaces. In a sphere-p…
Interaction of colloids with a nematic-isotropic interface
D. Andrienko, M. Tasinkevych, P. Patricio +1
The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to calculate the interaction between long cylindrical colloids and the nematic-isotropic (NI) interface. This interaction has two contribut…
Forces between elongated particles in a nematic colloid
D. Andrienko, M. Tasinkevych, P. Patricio +2
Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations we study the interactions between elongated colloidal particles (length to breath ratio > 1) in a nematic host. The simulation results are…
