abstract = {Bacteriophage DNA-viruses (fd) consist of a DNA strand that
is covered by several thousands of fd-coat proteins. The 880
nm long DNA-virus is relatively stiff due to these coat
proteins (the persistence length is about 2500 nm). In
addition, the coat proteins render a DNA-virus highly
charged, such that a large fraction of ions are condensed
onto the core of the virus. By varying the ionic strength,
the equilibrium phase behaviors are explored well for the
stable chiral-mesophases, as well the field-induced new
phases in non-equilibrium processes at ow AC electric fields
and shear flow. I will address the response of concentrated
DNA-virus suspensions to external electric fields (for
suspensions in the two-phase isotropic-nematic coexistence
region), and to externally applied shear flow (for crowded
suspensions in the glassy state). Several phases and
dynamical states are induced by electric fields, depending
on the field strength and frequency, due to field-induced
dissociation/association of condensed ions and hydrodynamic
interactions thorugh field-induced electro-osmotic flow.
Shear flow induces several kinds of inhomogeneous flow
profiles. At low shear rates, the plug flow and fracture are
observed, a transition to a shear-banded state is seen on
increasing the shear rate, in coexistence with Taylor
vorticity banding, while at high shear rates a homogeneously
sheared profile is observed where the shear rate is constant
throughout the gap of the shear cell. The above phenomena
have been observed in bulk, with 1 mm thick cylindrical
sample cells. It would be also interesting to investigate
the effect of confinement in an arbitrary shape of
curvatures, using microfluidic channel flows, allowing the
gradients of different ionic strengths. In particular, the
role of confinement in both field-induced dynamical states
for small (chiral) nematic domains, and the shear-induced
fracture in the glassy state can be further conveyed, to
which extent the size of (chiral) nematic domains are
affected by the dimensions in the confining geometry.},
