Early-Stage Bifurcation of Crystallization in a Sphere
Chrameh Fru Mbah, Junwei Wang, Silvan Englisch +5
Bifurcations in kinetic pathways decide the evolution of a system. An example is crystallization, in which the thermodynamically stable polymorph may not form due to kinetic hindra…
Free Energy Landscape of Colloidal Clusters in Spherical Confinement
Junwei Wang, Chrameh Fru Mbah, Thomas Przybilla +4
The structure of finite self-assembling systems depends sensitively on the number of constituent building blocks. Recently, it was demonstrated that hard sphere-like colloidal part…
Interface-induced hysteretic volume phase transition of microgels: simulation and experiment
Jannis Kolker, Johannes Harrer, Simone Ciarella +5
Thermo-responsive microgel particles can exhibit a drastic volume shrinkage upon increasing the solvent temperature. Recently we found that the spreading of poly(N-isopropylacrylam…
Soft particles at liquid interfaces: From molecular particle architecture to collective phase behavior
Simone Ciarella, Marcel Rey, Johannes Harrer +5
Soft particles such as microgels and core-shell particles can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a comple…
Pattern formation in two-dimensional hard-core/soft-shell systems with variable soft shell profiles
Walter R. C. Somerville, Adam D. Law, Marcel Rey +3
Hard-core/soft shell (HCSS) particles have been shown to self-assemble into a remarkably rich variety of structures under compression due to the simple interplay between the hard-c…
Stimuli-responsive behavior of PNiPAm microgels under interfacial confinement
Johannes Harrer, Marcel Rey, Simone Ciarella +3
The volume phase transition of microgels is one of the most paradigmatic examples of stimuli-responsiveness, enabling a collapse from a highly swollen microgel state into a densely…
