Theory of Inhomogeneous Condensed Matter Article Coarsening in fluid phase transitions Das, S., Roy, S., Midya, J. Comptes Rendus Physique, 16(3):303-315, April 2015 (Published)

Abstract ›

We review the understanding of the kinetics of fluid phase separation in various space dimensions. Morphological differences, percolating or disconnected domains, based on overall composition in a binary liquid or on density in a vapor–liquid system, are discussed. Depending upon the morphology, various possible mechanisms for domain growth are pointed out and discussions of corresponding theoretical predictions are provided. On the computational front, useful models and simulation methodologies are presented. Theoretically predicted growth laws have been tested via molecular dynamics simulations of vapor–liquid transitions. In the case of a disconnected structure, the mechanism has been confirmed directly.

Abstract ›

We demonstrate a simple physical fabrication method to control surface roughness of Janus micromotors and fabricate self-propelled active Janus microparticles with rough catalytic platinum surfaces that show a four-fold increase in their propulsion speed compared to conventional Janus particles coated with a smooth Pt layer.

Abstract ›

{In this Focus article, I will give an overview on the current and future interests of our multidisciplinary research group. One of our main interests is to develop highly integrated on-chip components towards ultra-compact devices for biosensing technologies (lab-in-a-tube). Our other activities are focused in developing self-powered devices that can generate either motion of a fluid or autonomous propulsion. We are particularly interested in three-dimensional (3D) nanofabrication technologies and stimuli responsive soft materials.}
