Ordered ground state configurations of the asymmetric Wigner bilayer system -- revisited: an unsupervised clustering algorithm analysis

Benedikt Hartl, Marek Mihalkovič, Ladislav Šamaj +3

We have re-analysed the rich plethora of ground state configurations of the asymmetric Wigner bilayer system that we had recently published in a related diagram of states [M. Antla…

Deformable hard particles particles confined in a disordered porous matrix

Alexander Stadik, Gerhard Kahl

With suitably designed Monte Carlo simulations we have investigated the properties of mobile, impenetrable, yet deformable particles that are immersed into a porous matrix, the lat…

Elasticity in crystals with high density of local defects : insights from ultra-soft colloids

Saswati Ganguly, Gaurav Prakash Shrivastav, Shang-Chun Lin +5

In complex crystals close to melting or at finite temperatures, different types of defects are ubiquitous and their role becomes relevant in the mechanical response of these solids…

The direct correlation function of a crystalline solid

S. -C. Lin, M. Oettel, J. M. Hring +3

Direct correlation functions (DCFs), linked to the second functional derivative of the free energy with respect to the one-particle density, play a fundamental role in a statistica…

On the yielding of a defect-rich model crystal under shear: insights from molecular dynamics simulations

Gaurav P. Shrivastav, Gerhard Kahl

Point defects in real crystals at finite temperatures are inevitable. Their dynamics severely influence the mechanical properties of crystals under shear giving rise to nonlinear e…

Inverse patchy colloids: synthesis, modeling and self-organization

Emanuela Bianchi, Peter D. J. van Oostrum, Christos N. Likos +1

Inverse patchy colloids are nano- to micro-scale particles with a surface divided into differently charged regions. This class of colloids combines directional, selective bonding w…
