Frustration of the isotropic-columnar phase transition of colloidal hard platelets by a transient cubatic phase
Matthieu Marechal, Alessandro Patti, Matthew Dennison +1
Using simulations and theory, we show that the cubatic phase is metastable for three model hard platelets. The locally favored structures of perpendicular particle stacks in the fl…

Vacancy-stabilized crystalline order in hard cubes
Frank Smallenburg, Laura Filion, Matthieu Marechal +1
We examine the effect of vacancies on the phase behavior and structure of systems consisting of hard cubes using event-driven molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. We fin…
