Surface induced phase separation and pattern formation at the isotropic interface in chiral nematic liquid crystals.
We study the pattern formation of a chiral nematic liquid crystal under a wetting transition. In the isotropic-liquid crystal transition, a surface-enhanced effect happens and a thin liquid crystal layer forms at the substrates of the cell. In this confined system, chirality, elastic anisotropy, surface anchoring, and wetting strength interplay. A striped pattern is formed due to the chiral nat...
متن کاملPhase separation in star-polymer-colloid mixtures.
We examine the demixing transition in star-polymer-colloid mixtures for star arm numbers f=2,6,16,32 and different star-polymer-colloid size ratios 0.18< or =q< or =0.50. Theoretically, we solve the thermodynamically self-consistent Rogers-Young integral equations for binary mixtures using three effective pair potentials obtained from direct molecular computer simulations. The numerical results...
متن کاملActivity-induced phase separation and self-assembly in mixtures of active and passive particles.
We investigate the phase behavior and kinetics of a monodisperse mixture of active (i.e., self-propelled) and passive isometric Brownian particles through Brownian dynamics simulations and theory. As in a purely active system, motility of the active component triggers phase separation into a dense and a dilute phase; in the dense phase, we further find active-passive segregation, with "rafts" o...
متن کاملInfluences on pattern formation during non-isothermal phase separation in local and nonlocal phase-field models
The classical phase-field model represents a coupling of an Allen-Cahn type nonlinear equation with a standard diffusion equation and has been proposed to describe uniform phase separation in a pure substance. This research considers an extension of that model which incorporates a more accurate approximation to the diffuse interface between states of matter through the use of a nonlocal operato...
متن کاملEffect of membrane characteristics on phase separation and domain formation in cholesterol-lipid mixtures.
We examine, using an analytical mean-field model, the distribution of cholesterol in a lipid bilayer. The model accounts for the perturbation of lipid packing induced by the embedded cholesterol, in a manner similar to that of transmembrane proteins. We find that the membrane-induced interactions between embedded cholesterol molecules vary as a function of the cholesterol content. Thus, the eff...
