Reorientation of the segregation pattern of a binary granular mixture on a two-dimensional horizontally oscillating tray is numerically realized. The mixture consists of large and heavy particles and small and light particles, and the segregation pattern shows a transition between a striped pattern perpendicular to the oscillation and one parallel to the oscillating direction according to the c...

Thermal wetting can simply, selectively and reversibly join patchy particles into clusters (2D and 3D) and also colloidal crystals over the narrow temperature range of 1-2 °C. This is demonstrated with Janus particles (gold half-coated silica spheres) immersed in a binary mixture of water/2,6-lutidine, such that the relative strength of gold-gold bonding through hydrophobic interaction and sili...

PHENIX has measured transverse momentum spectra of charged particles at mid-rapidity up to 10 GeV/c in Au+Au collisions at √ s nn = 200 GeV. For central collisions, the yield at high p T is significantly suppressed comparing to binary scaled p+p data, and this suppression is stronger than observed at 130 GeV [1,2]. Above 4 GeV/c, the deficit of high momentum particles is almost independent of p...

Abstract We consider a class of interacting particle systems with values in [0,∞)Zd , of which the binary contact path process is an example. For d ≥ 3 and under a certain square integrability condition on the total number of the particles, we prove a central limit theorem for the density of the particles, together with upper bounds for the density of the most populated site and the replica ove...

We argue that the possibility to observe a stable biaxial nematic phase in a binary mixture of prolate and oblate hard particles is seriously limited by the existence of entropydriven demixing. This result follows from a simple Onsager-type density functional theory. An important feature15 the coupling of the demixing mechanism to the orientational order of the system. The strength of this coup...

Granular matter exists widely in nature and engineering practice exhibits abundant complex phenomena of convection separation. Here, we focus on the pattern distribution binary particles under vibration airflow. Various patterns were observed. It is found that shows four are similar, but not identical to those mono-component granular system. The same particle often obtained with different cases...
