Article Versatile Microfluidics Separation of Colloids by Combining External Flow with Light-Induced Chemical Activity Bekir, Marek; Sperling, Marcel; Vasquez Muñoz, Daniela; Braksch, Cevin; Boker, Alexander; Lomadze, Nino; Popescu, Mihail N.; Santer, Svetlana (Wiley, 2023) Separation of particles by size, morphology, or material identity is of paramount importance in fields such as filtration ...
Article Active spheres induce Marangoni flows that drive collective dynamics Wittmann, Martin; Popescu, Mihail N.; Domínguez Álvarez, Álvaro; Simmchen, Juliane (Springer, 2021) For monolayers of chemically active particles at a fluid interface, collective dynamics is predicted to arise owing to ...
Article Analyte Sensing with Catalytic Micromotors Popescu, Mihail N.; Gáspár, Szilveszter (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020) Catalytic micromotors can be used to detect molecules of interest in several ways. The straightforward approach is to use ...
Article Self-Motility of an Active Particle Induced by Correlations in the Surrounding Solution Domínguez Álvarez, Álvaro; Popescu, Mihail N.; Rohwer, C. M.; Dietrich, S. (American Physical Society, 2020) Current models of phoretic transport rely on molecular forces creating a “diffuse” particle-fluid interface. We investigate ...
Article Interface-mediated spontaneous symmetry breaking and mutual communication between drops containing chemically active particles Singh, D. P.; Domínguez Muñoz, Antonio Damián; Choudhury, U.; Kottapalli, S. N.; Popescu, Mihail N.; Dietrich, Siegfried; Fischer, P. (Nature Research, 2020) Symmetry breaking and the emergence of self-organized patterns is the hallmark of complexity. Here, we demonstrate that a ...
Article Comment on "which interactions dominate in active colloids?" [J. Chem. Phys. 150, 061102 (2019)] Popescu, Mihail N.; Domínguez Álvarez, Álvaro; Uspal, W.E.; Tasinkevych, M.; Dietrich, Siegfried (American Institute of Physics, 2019)
Article Active Janus colloids at chemically structured surfaces Uspal, W.E.; Popescu, Mihail N.; Dietrich, Siegfried; Tasinkevych, M. (American Institute of Physics, 2019) If catalytically active Janus particles are dispersed in certain liquid solutions, they can create a gradient in the ...
Article Effective Interaction between Active Colloids and Fluid Interfaces Induced by Marangoni Flows Domínguez Álvarez, Álvaro; Malgaretti, Paolo; Popescu, Mihail N.; Dietrich, Siegfried (American Physical Society, 2016) We show theoretically that near a fluid-fluid interface a single active colloidal particle generating, e.g., chemicals or ...
Article Measurements of dispersion forces between colloidal latex particles with the atomic force microscope and comparison with Lifshitz theory Elzbieciak-Wodka, M.; Popescu, Mihail N.; Montes Ruiz-Cabello, Francisco Javier; Trefalt, G.; Maroni, P.; Borkovec, M. (American Institute of Physics, 2014) Interaction forces between carboxylate colloidal latex particles of about 2 μm in diameter immersed in aqueous solutions ...
Article Confinement effects on diffusiophoretic self-propellers Popescu, Mihail N.; Dietrich, Siegfried; Oshanin, G. (American Institute of Physics, 2009) We study theoretically the effects of spatial confinement on the phoretic motion of a dissolved particle driven by composition ...
