Two-dimensional (2D) Janus semiconductors with mirror asymmetry can introduce novel properties, such as large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and normal piezoelectric polarization, which have attracted a great interest for their potential…
We establish experimentally the flow patterns of induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) around immobilized metallic spheres in aqueous electrolyte. The AC field modifies local electrolyte concentration and causes quadrupolar flows with…
We propose a sigma_z-symmetry-preserving approach to achieve Janus bound states in the continuum (Janus BICs) exhibiting asymmetric topological charges in the upward and downward radiation channels. While prior approaches typically involve…
We consider pairs of point vortices having circulations $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ and confined to a two-dimensional surface $S$. In the limit of zero initial separation $\varepsilon$, we prove that they follow a magnetic geodesic in unison,…
Brownian transport of self-propelled overdamped microswimmers (like Janus particles) in a two-dimensional periodically compartmentalized channel is numerically investigated for different compartment geometries, boundary collisional…
Induced-charge electrophoresis (ICEP) has mostly been analyzed for asymmetric particles in an infinite fluid, but channel walls in real systems further break symmetry and lead to dielectrophoresis (DEP) in local field gradients. Zhao and…
We study a planar motion of two hydrodynamically coupled non-identical micro-swimmers, each modelled as a force dipole with intrinsic self-propulsion. Using the method of images, we demonstrate that our results remain equally applicable at…
In this study, we investigated the motion of active SiO2-Pt Janus particles in the 2D bath of smaller silica tracers dispersed in varying areal densities. The effect on the organization of the tracer particles around the active JPs was also…
We propose a highly efficient mechanism to rectify the motion of active particles by exploiting particle-wall alignment interactions. Through numerical simulations of active particles' dynamics in a narrow channel, we demonstrate that a…
While the collective motion of active particles has been studied extensively, effective strategies to navigate particle swarms without external guidance remain elusive. We introduce a method to control the trajectories of two-dimensional…
A coupled atomistic spin and lattice dynamics approach is developed which merges the dynamics of these two degrees of freedom into a single set of coupled equations of motion. The underlying microscopic model comprises local exchange…
We theoretically investigate the deflection-induced coupling of an electron spin to vibrational motion due to spin-orbit coupling in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots. Our estimates indicate that, with current capabilities, a quantum…
Particle sedimentation through porous media is limited by the inability of passive material to overcome surface interactions and a tortuous network of pores. This limits transport, delivery, and effectiveness of chemicals used as reactants,…
We study the nonlinear dynamics of single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles in a viscous liquid induced by a harmonically oscillating gradient magnetic field in the absence and presence of a static uniform magnetic field. Under some…
Solid-state precipitation can be used to tailor materials properties, ranging from ferromagnets and catalysts to mechanical strengthening and energy storage. Thermoelectric properties can be modified by precipitation to enhance phonon…
Vortex coherent structures on arrays of nonlinear oscillators joined by weak links into topologically nontrivial two-dimensional discrete manifolds have been theoretically studied. A circuit of nonlinear electric oscillators coupled by…
A nano-shuttle consisting of two metallic islands connected in series and integrated between two contacts is studied. We evaluate the electron transport through the system in the presence of a source-drain voltage with and without an RF…
We present an interacting model for the electronic and magnetic behavior of a strained $(001)$ atomic layer of Sr$_2$FeMoO$_6,$ which shows room-temperature ferrimagnetism and magnetoresistance with potential spintronics application in the…
Cytoskeletal filaments transported by surface immobilized molecular motors with one end pinned to the surface have been observed to spiral in a myosin-driven actin 'gliding assay'. The radius of the spiral was shown to scale with motor…
Achieving control over the directionality of active colloids is essential for their use in practical applications such as cargo carriers in microfluidic devices. So far, guidance of spherical Janus colloids was mainly realized using…
