Fluctuation-induced interaction between anisotropic colloids at fluid interface — •Ehsan Noruzifar and Martin Oettel — Institut fuer Physik, WA 331, Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany

The effective interaction between anisotropic particles trapped at fluid interface necessarily contains a long-ranged part caused by capillary wave fluctuations [1]. Due to the restrictions the colloids impose on the capillary waves, the interaction is of Casimir type which can be calculated by integrating on all possible interface configuration weighted by a simple capillary wave Hamiltonian. For the specific case of ellipsoids, we consider the resulting anisotropic interaction with regard to ordering phenomena on the interface [2].
