Diffusion of self-propelled particles in the presence of randomly distributed obstacles in three dimensions is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that depending on the magnitude of the propelling force and the…
Densely packed systems of thermal particles in curved geometries are frequently encountered in biological and microfluidic systems. In 2D systems, at sufficiently high surface coverage, diffusive motion is widely known to be strongly…
We revisit the electromagnetic heat transfer between a metallic nanoparticle and a metallic semi-infinite substrate, commonly studied using the electric dipole approximation. For infrared and microwave frequencies, we find that the magnetic…
The acoustic radiation force exerted on a small sphere located at the focus of an ultrasonic beam is measured in a soft gel. It is proved to evolve quadratically with the local amplitude of the acoustic field. Strong oscillations of the…
We report a Monte Carlo simulation study of the properties of highly asymmetric binary hard sphere mixtures. This system is treated within an effective fluid approximation in which the large particles interact through a depletion potential…
In this paper we discuss the magnetic Purcell effect of a magnetic dipole near a semi-infinite antiferromagnet. Contrary to the electric Purcell effect, the magnetic one is not so well studied in the literature. We derive the dispersion…
Closed nonrelativistic (nonretarded) theory of conservative and dissipative electromagnetic forces and heat exchange between moving particles (nanoprobes) and a surface (flat and cylindrical) is reviewed. The formalism is based on methods…
The work described is concerned with the way micron-size particles attached to a surface are resuspended when exposed to a turbulent flow. An improved version of the Rock'n'Roll model (Reeks and Hall, 2001) is developed where this model…
The present work reports a general method for the calculation of t he polarizability of a truncated sphere on a substrate. A multipole ex pansion is used, where the multipoles are not necessarily localized in the center of the sphere but…
Recently, we showed that dielectric mesoscale spheres support super-resonance effect, i.e. high-order Mie resonance modes with giant field enhancement. The presence of the surrounding medium leads to a significant influence in the intensity…
The point at which two random rough surfaces make contact takes place at the contact of the highest asperities. The distance upon contact d_0 in the limit of zero load has crucial importance for determination of dispersive forces. Using…
The effects of viscoelasticity have been shown to manifest themselves via symmetry breaking. In this investigation, we show a novel phenomenon that arises from this idea. We observe that when a dense sphere is rotated near a wall (the…
We study resonant response of an underdamped nanomechanical resonator with fluctuating frequency. The fluctuations are due to diffusion of molecules or microparticles along the resonator. They lead to broadening and change of shape of the…
Nanoparticles of high refractive index materials can possess strong magnetic polarizabilities and give rise to artificial magnetism in the optical spectral range. While the response of individual dielectric or metal spherical particles can…
We present a model for the motion of hard spherical particles on a two dimensional surface. The model includes both the interaction between the particles via collisions, as well as the interaction of the particles with the substrate. We…
We use analytical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations to determine the thermal fluctuation spectrum of a membrane patch of a few tens of nanometer in size, whose corners are located at a fixed distance $d$ above a plane rigid surface.…
Dispersion relations for dipolar modes propagating along a chain of metal nanoparticles are calculated by solving the full Maxwell equations, including radiation damping. The nanoparticles are treated as point dipoles, which means the…
We describe a method to calculate the electrical force acting on a sphere in a suspension of dielectric spheres in a host with a different dielectric constant, under the assumption that a spatially uniform electric field is applied. The…
The force between two approaching solids in a liquid medium becomes increasingly large with decreasing separation, a phenomenon that prevents contact between the two solids. This growth in force occurs because of the intervening liquid,…
We study acoustic modes of a close-packed hexagonal lattice of spheres adhered to a substrate, propagating along a high-symmetry direction. The model, accounting for both normal and shear coupling between the spheres and between the spheres…
