Effect of Spherical Confinement on the 2-TIPS of Soft Repulsive Spherocylinders
Abstract
We studied the 2-Temperature induced phase separation (2-TIPS) in a system of soft repulsive sphe rocylinders (SRS), confined on the surface of a sphere. We used two different anchoring conditions for the SRS on the spherical surface- free and tangential. For the free anchoring, increasing either the packing fraction or the rod aspect ratio suppresses phase separation between the active and passive subsystems, and the system corresponds to a dense-dilute phase co-existence. These phenomena can be explained via the trapping effect and are emergent due to the confinement. For the tangential anchoring, the system phase separates from its initial isotropic state into a locally ordered dense region and a disordered dilute region. Our work provides useful insights into phase separation in binary mixtures under spherical confinement.
