We study by simulation and theory how the addition of insulating spherical particles affects the conductivity of fluids of conducting rods, modeled by spherocylinders. The electrical connections are implemented as tunneling processes, leading to a mo... Read More about Depletion-interaction effects on the tunneling conductivity of nanorod suspensions.

Energy landscapes, structural topologies and rearrangement mechanisms in clusters of dipolar particles (2013)
Journal Article

Clusters of spherical particles with isotropic attraction favour compact structures that maximise the number of energetically optimal nearest-neighbour interactions. In contrast, dipolar interactions lead to the formation of chains with a low coordin...
