Algorithmic detection of crystal structures from computer simulation data
Sumitava Kundu, Kaustav Chakraborty, Avisek Das
Detection of crystal structures from particle positions of crystalline assemblies formed in computer simulations is an unsolved problem. The standard protocol, formulated in the re…
Phase behavior of hard sheared cube family
Kaustav Chakraborty, Sumitava Kundu, Avisek Das
A sheared cube is made out of a cube by giving a shear to the body in one direction keeping one of the faces fixed. We investigate here the thermodynamic phase behavior of a family…
Predictive orientational phase behavior in convex polyhedral entropic crystals
Sumitava Kundu, Kaustav Chakraborty, Avisek Das
Hard convex polyhedra, idealized models for anisotropic colloids and nanoparticles, are known to form variety of orientational phases despite the regular arrangement of particles i…
Understanding orientational disorder in crystalline assemblies of hard convex polyhedra
Sumitava Kundu, Kaustav Chakraborty, Avisek Das
Spontaneous self-assembly of hard convex polyhedra are known to form orientationally disordered crystalline phases, where particle orientations do not follow the same pattern as th…
Role of symmetry in the orientationally disordered crystals of hard convex polyhedra
Sumitava Kundu, Kaustav Chakraborty, Avisek Das
The crystalline solids with lack of orientational ordering of anisotropic particles serve the purpose of studying the disordered systems with many fundamental applications in conte…
