Anomalous Criticality of Absorbing State Transition toward Jamming
He-Da Wang, Bo Wang, Qun-Li Lei +2
The jamming transition has traditionally been regarded as a geometric transition governed by static contact networks. Recently, dynamic phase transitions of athermal particles unde…
Liquid-Gas Criticality of Hyperuniform Fluids
Shang Gao, Hao Shang, Hao Hu +2
In statistical physics, it is well established that the liquid-gas (LG) phase transition with divergent critical fluctuations belongs to the Ising universality class. Whether non-e…
Activity-driven polymer knotting for macromolecular topology engineering
Jia-Xiang Li, Song Wu, Li-Li Hao +2
Macromolecules can gain special properties by adopting knotted conformations, but engineering knotted macromolecules is a challenging task. Here we surprisingly observed that knott…
Fluidization and anomalous density fluctuations in 2D Voronoi cell tissues with pulsating activity
Zhu-Qin Li, Qun-Li Lei, Yu-qiang Ma
Cells not only can be motile by crawling but are also capable of non-motility active motions like periodic contraction or pulsation. In this work, based on a Voronoi cell model, we…
Self-Organized Time Crystal in Driven-Dissipative Quantum System
Ya-Xin Xiang, Qun-Li Lei, Zhengyang Bai +1
Continuous time crystals (CTCs) are characterized by sustained oscillations that break the time translation symmetry. Since the ruling out of equilibrium CTCs by no-go theorems, th…
Transformable Super-Isostatic Crystals Self-Assembled from Segment Colloidal Rods
Ji-Dong Hu, Ting Wang, Qun-Li Lei +1
Colloidal particles can spontaneously self-assemble into ordered structures, which not only can manipulate the propagation of light, but also vibration or phonons. Using Monte Carl…
Non-Equilibrium Structural and Dynamic Behaviors of Polar Active Polymer Controlled by Head Activity
Jia-Xiang Li, Song Wu, Li-Li Hao +2
Thermodynamic behavior of polymer chains out of equilibrium is a fundamental problem in both polymer physics and biological physics. By using molecular dynamics simulation, we disc…
Duality,Hidden Symmetry and Dynamic Isomerism in 2D Hinge Structures
Qun-Li Lei, Feng Tang, Ji-Dong Hu +2
Recently, a new type of duality was reported in some deformable mechanical networks which exhibit Kramers-like degeneracy in phononic spectrum at the self-dual point. In this work,…
Self-Assembly of Isostatic Self-Dual Colloidal Crystals
Qun-Li Lei, Wei Zheng, Feng Tang +3
Self-dual structures whose dual counterparts are themselves possess unique hidden symmetry, beyond the description of classical spatial symmetry groups. Here we propose a strategy…
Entropy-Controlled Cross-Linking in Linker-Mediated Vitrimers
Qun-Li Lei, Xiuyang Xia, Juan Yang +2
Recently developed linker-mediated vitrimers based on metathesis of dioxaborolanes with various commercially available polymers have shown both good processability and outstanding…
Barrier-Controlled Non-Equilibrium Criticality in Reactive Particle Systems
Qun-Li Lei, Hao Hu, Ran Ni
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena generally exist in many dynamic systems, like chemical reactions and some driven-dissipative {reactive} particle systems. Here, by using computer…
Hydrodynamics of Random-Organizing Hyperuniform Fluids
Qunli Lei, Ran Ni
Disordered hyperuniform structures are locally random while uniform like crystals at large length scales. Recently, an exotic hyperuniform fluid state was found in several non-equi…

Krongtum Sankaewtong, Qun-li Lei, Ran Ni
Designing and fabricating self-assembled open colloidal crystals have become one major direction in soft matter community because of many promising applications associated with ope…
Melting and re-entrant melting of polydisperse hard disks
Pablo Sampedro Ruiz, Qun-li Lei, Ran Ni
Because of long-wavelength fluctuations, the nature of solids and phase transitions in 2D are different from those in 3D systems, and have been heavily debated in past decades, in…
Non-Equilibrium Strongly Hyperuniform Fluids of Circle Active Particles with Large Local Density Fluctuations
Qun-li Lei, Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Ran Ni
Disordered hyperuniform structures are an exotic state of matter having vanishing long-wavelength density fluctuations similar to perfect crystals but without long-range order. Alt…
Self-Assembled Chiral Photonic Crystals From Colloidal Helices Racemate
Qun-li Lei, Ran Ni, Yu-qiang Ma
Chiral crystals consisting of micro-helices have many optical properties while presently available fabrication processes limit their large-scale applications in photonic devices. H…
