Self-assembly and entropic effects in pear-shaped colloid systems: I. Shape sensitivity of bilayer phases in colloidal pear-shaped particle systems
Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Matthieu Marechal, Douglas J. Cleaver +1
The role of particle shape in self-assembly processes is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, particle shape and particle elongation are often considered the most fundamental det…
Self-assembly and entropic effects in pear-shaped colloid systems: II. Depletion attraction of pear-shaped particles in a hard sphere solvent
Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Matthieu Marechal, Douglas J. Cleaver +1
We consider depletion effects of a pear-shaped colloidal particle in a hard-sphere solvent, for two different model realisations of the pear-shaped colloidal particle. The two mode…
Competition of Lattice and Basis for Alignment of Nematic Liquid Crystals
Andrew DeBenedictis, Candy Anquetil-Deck, Douglas J. Cleaver +4
Due to elastic anisotropy, two-dimensional patterning of substrates can promote weak azimuthal alignment of adjacent nematic liquid crystals. Here, we consider how such alignment c…
