Phase separation dynamics in a two-dimensional magnetic mixture.
Based on classical density functional theory (DFT), we investigate the demixing phase transition of a two-dimensional, binary Heisenberg fluid mixture. The particles in the mixture are modeled as Gaussian soft spheres, where one component is characterized by an additional classical spin-spin interaction of Heisenberg type. Within the DFT we treat the particle interactions using a mean-field app...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Two-Dimensional Colloidal Systems
This chapter is an introduction to phase transitions in two-dimensional (2D) systems. In contrast to three dimensions (3D), microscopic theories of melting exist in 2D. The most well known of them was developed more than 30 years ago by Kosterlitz, Thouless, Halperin, Nelson, and Young (KTHNY theory). This theory predicts the unbinding of topological defects to break the symmetry in two steps a...
متن کاملPartial clustering in binary two-dimensional colloidal suspensions.
Strongly interacting binary mixtures of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined to a two-dimensional water-air interface are examined by theory, computer simulation, and experiment. The mixture exhibits a partial clustering in equilibrium: in the voids of the matrix of unclustered big particles, the small particles form subclusters with a spongelike topology which is accompanied by a cha...
متن کاملQuorum Sensing in Microbial Virulence
Cell-to cell communication occurs via a signaling pathway referred to as quorum sensing. There are four main types of these systems according to the chemical nature of signal molecules used by microorganisms to elicit expression of target genes in response to environmental stimuli or need of microbial communities. Type I system acts by using acyl homoserine lactones as signals to trigger the ex...
متن کاملEnslaved phase-separation fronts in one-dimensional binary mixtures.
Phase-separation fronts leave in their wakes morphologies that are substantially different from the morphologies formed in homogeneous phase separation. In this paper we focus on fronts in binary mixtures that are enslaved phase-separation fronts, i.e., fronts that follow in the wake of a control-parameter front. In the one-dimensional case, which is the focus of this paper, the formed morpholo...
