One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

A colloidal suspension is a heterogeneous fluid containing solid microscopic particles.
Colloids play an important role in our everyday life, from food and pharmaceutical industries …

During the last decade the focus in colloid science on self-assembly has moved from mostly
spherical particles and interaction potentials to more and more complex particle shapes …

We investigate the drying process of three-component and polydisperse colloidal
suspensions using Brownian dynamics simulations. We have previously reported (Phys …

We present experiments on pattern formation in a Brownian system of oppositely charged
colloids driven by an ac electric field. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy we observe …

Minimal models of active and driven particles have recently been used to elucidate many
properties of nonequilibrium systems. However, the relation between energy consumption …

We study the segregation phenomena for oppositely driven colloidal particles in two-
dimensional ring geometries by means of Brownian dynamics simulations without …

If a binary colloidal mixture is oppositely driven by an external field, a transition towards a
laned state occurs at sufficiently large drives, where particles driven alike form elongated …

It is well known that a binary system of nonactive disks that experience driving in opposite
directions exhibits jammed, phase separated, disordered, and laning states. In active matter …

Demixing can occur in systems of two or more particle species that experience different
driving forces, eg, mixtures of self-propelled active particles or of oppositely charged colloids …
