Scaling laws for doublet craters formed by low-velocity impacts of unequal-mass spheres into a granular bed
Haruto Kitagawa, Ririha Obara, Yu Matsuda
Understanding the formation mechanism of doublet craters is an important challenge for advancing knowledge in astronomy and granular physics. In this study, we investigated craters…
Single particle tracking of polymer aggregates inside disordered porous media
Yusaku Abe, Naoki Tomioka, Yu Matsuda
The diffusion motions of individual polymer aggregates in disordered porous media were visualized using the single particle tracking (SPT) method because the motions inside porous…
Orientational order in liquid crystal surface induced by evaporation of water droplet
Yusaku Abe, Yu Matsuda
The evaporation of a droplet induces variety of ordered patterns near the contact line between the droplet and a substrate. This pattern formation involves both the behavior of col…
Diffusion of individual nanoparticles in cylindrical diatom frustule
Naoki Tomioka, Yusaku Abe, Yu Matsuda
Diatoms are characterised by silica cell walls (frustules), which have highly ordered micro-/nano-structures. As the synthesis of such structures remains challenging, diatom frustu…
