Colloidal ionic complexes on periodic substrates: ground-state configurations and pattern switching.
We theoretically and numerically studied ordering of "colloidal ionic clusters" on periodic substrate potentials such as those generated by optical trapping. Each cluster consists of three charged spherical colloids: two negatively and one positively charged. The substrate is a square or rectangular array of traps, each confining one such cluster. By varying the lattice constant from large to s...
متن کاملMultidomain and ground state configurations of two-phase vesicles.
A simple model is used to study the equilibrium of lipid domains on two-phase vesicles. Two classes of configurations are considered: multidomain and ground state configurations. For multidomain configurations, the vesicle has a finite number of identical lipid domains. For ground state configurations, the vesicle is fully phase separated into two coexisting domains. Whereas the volume enclosed...
متن کاملDimeric and dipolar ground state orders in colloidal molecular crystals.
A two-dimensional colloidal suspension subject to a periodic substrate evolves into a colloidal molecular crystal under situations of strong confinement. We focus on the long-range orientational order thereby emerging, in the ground state. We study by simulations the situations where in each trap lies a pair of identical colloids, or alternatively a pair of oppositely charged macroions. We cons...
متن کاملGround-state shapes and structures of colloidal domains
In charged colloidal suspensions, the competition between square-well attraction and long-range Yukawa repulsion leads to various stable domains and Wigner supercrystals. Using a continuum model and symmetry arguments, a phase diagram of spheres, cylinders, and lamellae is obtained as a function of two control parameters, the volume fraction and the ratio between the surface tension and repulsi...
متن کاملScalar intermittency and the ground state of periodic Schrödinger equations
Recent studies of a passive scalar diffusing in a rapidly fluctuating Gaussian distributed linear shear layer have demonstrated intermittency in the form of broad tails and non-symmetric limiting probability distribution functions. In this paper the authors explore similar issues within the context of a large class of rapidly fluctuating bounded periodic shear layers. We compute the evolution o...
