表面附近的自推进杆

Self-Propelled Rods near Surfaces

Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper

摘要:

我们研究的行为,自推进的纳米和微米棒在三维空间中,限制在两个平行的墙壁,通过模拟和缩放参数。我们的模拟包括热涨落和流体动力学相互作用,这两者都是相关的动力学行为在纳米到微米的长度尺度。为了研究流体动力学相互作用的重要性,我们还进行了类似布朗动力学的模拟。在这两种情况下,我们发现,自推进棒显示出强大的表面过剩的局限的几何形状。半柔性聚合物的类比推导出的比例关系的依赖于壁的距离,杆的长度,和推进力。模拟数据证实了缩放的预测。

英文摘要:

We study the behavior of self-propelled nano- and micro-rods in three dimensions, confined between two parallel walls, by simulations and scaling arguments. Our simulations include thermal fluctuations and hydrodynamic interactions, which are both relevant for the dynamical behavior at nano- to micrometer length scales. In order to investigate the importance hydrodynamic interactions, we also perform Brownian-dynamics-like simulations. In both cases, we find that self-propelled rods display a strong surface excess in confined geometries. An analogy with semi-flexible polymers is employed to derive scaling laws for the dependence on the wall distance, the rod length, and the propulsive force. The simulation data confirm the scaling predictions.
