Driven motion of colloids in active microrheology
In active microrheology, a strong external force is applied to a colloidal probe immersed in a complex fluid, so that among other quantities the nonlinear force-velocity relation can be measured. It provides information on the local viscoelastic properties of the complex fluid or soft solid. Generally, in dense fluids, the probe’s friction coefficient decreases strongly with increasing force [1...
متن کاملAn Abiotic Glass-Bead Collector Exhibiting Active Transport
Animals relocate objects as needed by active motion. Active transport is ubiquitous in living organisms but has been difficult to realize in abiotic systems. Here we show that a self-propelled droplet can gather scattered beads toward one place on a floor and sweep it clean. This is a biomimetic active transport with loadings and unloadings, because the transport was performed by a carrier and ...
متن کاملEnhanced active motion of Janus colloids at the water surface.
We have investigated the active motion of self-propelled colloids confined at the air-water interface and explored the possibility of enhancing the directional motion of self-propelled Janus colloids by slowing down their rotational diffusion. The two dimensional motion of micron-sized silica-platinum Janus colloids has been experimentally measured by particle tracking video-microscopy at incre...
متن کاملEmergent behavior in active colloids
Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain how artificial microswimmers move forward by generating near-surface flow fields via self-phoresis or the self-induced Marangoni effect. We then discuss generic features of the dynamics of single active colloids in bulk ...
متن کاملHydrodynamics determines collective motion and phase behavior of active colloids in quasi-two-dimensional confinement.
We study the collective motion of confined spherical microswimmers such as active colloids which we model by so-called squirmers. To simulate hydrodynamic flow fields including thermal noise, we use the method of multiparticle collision dynamics. We demonstrate that hydrodynamic near fields acting between squirmers as well as between squirmers and bounding walls crucially determine their collec...
