Lane formation of gravitationally driven model colloids in two-dimensional linear channels — •Marc Isele, Kay Hofmann, and Peter Nielaba — Physics Department, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany

We conducted Brownian dynamics simulations to investigate the segregation phenomena of driven model colloids in two-dimensional linear channels. Two kinds of spherical particles of different sizes were driven in the same direction by a gravitational force. The difference in driving force acting on these particles creates a segregation similar to the lane formation of oppositely driven colloids. We had a closer look at parameter values facilitating lane formation and the resulting lanes were examined more closely. This approach creates a system which is easier to reproduce in experiments than the conventional oppositely driven setups by tilting a linear channel with two particle kinds of different size.
