111 years of Brownian motion

X Bian, C Kim, GE Karniadakis - Soft Matter, 2016 - pubs.rsc.org
We consider the Brownian motion of a particle and present a tutorial review over the last 111
years since Einstein's paper in 1905. We describe Einstein's model, Langevin's model and …

Microrheology of colloidal systems

AM Puertas, T Voigtmann - Journal of Physics: Condensed …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Microrheology was proposed almost twenty years ago as a technique to obtain rheological
properties in soft matter from the microscopic motion of colloidal tracers used as probes …

Hydrodynamic interactions and Brownian forces in colloidal suspensions: Coarse-graining over time and length scales

JT Padding, AA Louis - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2006 - APS
We describe in detail how to implement a coarse-grained hybrid molecular dynamics and
stochastic rotation dynamics simulation technique that captures the combined effects of …

Molecular dynamics study on nanoparticle diffusion in polymer melts: A test of the stokes− einstein law

J Liu, D Cao, L Zhang - The journal of physical chemistry C, 2008 - ACS Publications
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the diffusion process of
nanoparticles in polymer melts. The effects of size, concentration, and mass of the particle …

Critical particle size where the Stokes-Einstein relation breaks down

Z Li - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2009 - APS
The validity of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation for particle diffusion in the nano-and
molecular scales has attracted much interest, but the results in the literature are …

[HTML][HTML] Mechanical properties of the icosahedral shell of southern bean mosaic virus: a molecular dynamics study

M Zink, H Grubmüller - Biophysical journal, 2009 - cell.com
The mechanical properties of viral shells are crucial for viral assembly and infection. To
study their distribution and heterogeneity on the viral surface, we performed atomistic force …

Molecular hydrodynamics from memory kernels

D Lesnicki, R Vuilleumier, A Carof, B Rotenberg - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
The memory kernel for a tagged particle in a fluid, computed from molecular dynamics
simulations, decays algebraically as t-3/2. We show how the hydrodynamic Basset …

BA Camley, MG Lerner, RW Pastor… - The Journal of chemical …, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
The Saffman-Delbrück hydrodynamic model for lipid-bilayer membranes is modified to
account for the periodic boundary conditions commonly imposed in molecular simulations …

Structure and dynamics of a polymer–nanoparticle composite: Effect of nanoparticle size and volume fraction

V Sorichetti, V Hugouvieux, W Kob - Macromolecules, 2018 - ACS Publications
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study a semidilute, unentangled polymer solution

Green-Kubo relation for friction at liquid-solid interfaces

K Huang, I Szlufarska - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We have developed a Green-Kubo relation that enables accurate calculations of friction at
solid-liquid interfaces directly from equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and …
