Fast overlap detection between hard-core colloidal cuboids and spheres. The OCSI algorithm
Luca Tonti, Alessandro Patti
Collision between rigid three-dimensional objects is a very common modelling problem in a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines, including Computer Science and Physics. It spans…
Dynamic Monte Carlo Simulations of Inhomogeneous Colloidal Suspensions
Fabián A. García Daza, Alejandro Cuetos, Alessandro Patti
The Dynamic Monte Carlo (DMC) method is an established molecular simulation technique for the analysis of the dynamics in colloidal suspensions. An excellent alternative to Brownia…
Self-assembly of Freely-rotating Polydisperse Cuboids: Unveiling the Boundaries of the Biaxial Nematic Phase
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Daniel Corbett, Alejandro Cuetos +1
Colloidal cuboids have the potential to self-assemble into biaxial liquid crystal phases, which exhibit two independent optical axes. Over the last few decades, several theoretical…
Solvent-induced morphological transitions in methacrylate-based block-copolymer aggregates
Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, Flor R. Siperstein, Arvin Charles +1
Poly(ethylene oxide)--poly(butylmethacrylate) (PEO--PBMA) copolymers have recently been identified as excellent building blocks for the synthesis of hierarc…
Dynamics of Hard Colloidal Cuboids in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Alejandro Cuetos, Alessandro Patti
We perform Dynamic Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the equilibrium dynamics of hard colloidal cuboids in oblate and prolate nematic liquid crystals. In particular, we charac…
