Maximally mixing active nematics

, 2023
Active nematics are an important new paradigm in soft condensed matter systems. They consist of rod-like components with an internal driving force pushing them out of equilibrium.

Spatially heterogeneous dynamics in a thermosensitive soft suspension before and after the glass transition [PDF]

, 2011
The microscopic dynamics and aging of a soft thermosensitive suspension was investigated by looking at the thermal fluctuations of tracers in the suspension.

Activity suppressed phase separation

, 2022
We use a continuum model to examine the effect of activity on a phase separating mixture of an extensile active nematic and a passive fluid. We highlight the distinct role of previously considered interfacial active stresses and bulk active stresses that

Relationship between Structure, Entropy and Diffusivity in Water and Water-like Liquids

, 2010
Anomalous behaviour of the excess entropy ($S_e$) and the associated scaling relationship with diffusivity are compared in liquids with very different underlying interactions but similar water-like anomalies: water (SPC/E and TIP3P models), tetrahedral ...

A structural comparison of models of colloid-polymer mixtures

, 2009
We study the structure of colloidal fluids with reference to colloid-polymer mixtures. We compare the one component description of the Asakura-Oosawa (AO) idealisation of colloid-polymer mixtures with the full two-component model.

Field theory for mechanical criticality in disordered fiber networks

, 2023
Strain-controlled criticality governs the elasticity of jamming and fiber networks. While the upper critical dimension of jamming is believed to be $d_u$=2, non mean-field exponents are observed in numerical studies of 2D and 3D fiber networks.

Multidimensional Stationary Probability Distribution for Interacting Active Particles

, 2015
We derive the stationary probability distribution for a non-equilibrium system composed by an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom that are subject to Gaussian colored noise and a conservative potential.
