Coarse-graining to create minimalist models for dynamic, end-linked star-polymer networks
Tyla R. Holoman, C. Levi Petix, Michael P. Howard +1
Although minimalist models for patchy attractive particles have revealed powerful design rules for how particle valence directs colloidal assembly, less work has focused on compara…
Controlling Porosity in Supraparticles Composed of Colloidal Rods and Spheres
Kritika Kritika, Michael P. Howard, Arash Nikoubashman
Supraparticles (SPs) are assemblies of colloidal particles whose properties can be tuned by modifying the chemistry, shape, and size of the colloidal particles as well as their arr…
relentless: Transparent, reproducible molecular dynamics simulations for optimization
Adithya N Sreenivasan, C. Levi Petix, Zachary M. Sherman +1
relentless is an open-source Python package that enables the optimization of objective functions computed using molecular dynamics simulations. It has a high-level, extensible inte…
Mesoscale simulations of diffusion and sedimentation in shape-anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions
Yashraj M. Wani, Penelope Grace Kovakas, Arash Nikoubashman +1
We determine the long-time self-diffusion coefficient and sedimentation coefficient for suspensions of nanoparticles with anisotropic shapes (octahedra, cubes, tetrahedra, and sphe…
Effects of linker flexibility on phase behavior and structure of linked colloidal gels
Michael P. Howard, Zachary M. Sherman, Adithya N Sreenivasan +4
Colloidal nanocrystal gels can be assembled using a difunctional "linker" molecule to mediate bonding between nanocrystals. The conditions for gelation and the structure of the gel…
Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory with double-bond association and its application to colloid-linker mixtures
Michael P. Howard, Zachary M. Sherman, Delia J. Milliron +1
We extend Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory to derive the association free energy of a multicomponent mixture for which double bonds can form between any two pairs of th…
