Inderdigitation, double twist, and topological defects in a system of hard lollipops
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla
Using hard particle Monte Carlo simulations, we studied a three-dimensional system consisting of identical, lollipop-like particles. Each lollipop was built of five identical, tang…
Random sequential adsorption of aligned regular polygons and rounded squares: Transition in the kinetics of packing growth
Michał Cieśla, Piotr Kubala, Aref Abbasi Moud
We study two-dimensional random sequential adsorption (RSA) of flat polygons and rounded squares aligned in parallel to find a transition in the asymptotic behavior of the kinetics…
Splay and polar order in a system of hard pear-like molecules: confrontation of Monte Carlo numerical simulations with density functional theory calculations
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla
Recent experimental discoveries of novel nematic types with polar order, including ferroelectric nematic and splay nematic have brought the resurgence of the interest in polar and…
Splay-induced order in systems of hard wedges
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla, Lech Longa
We studied equilibrium systems composed of wedge-shaped monodisperse molecules using hard-particle Monte Carlo simulations. Each model molecule was made up of six colinear tangent…
In silico study of liquid crystalline phases formed by bent-shaped molecules with excluded-volume type interactions
Piotr Kubala, Wojciech Tomczyk, Michał Cieśla
We have numerically studied a liquid composed of achiral, bent-shaped molecules built of tangent spheres. The system is known to spontaneously break mirror symmetry, as it forms a…
The effect of substrate waviness on random sequential adsorption packing properties
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla
Random sequential adsorption of spheres on a wavy surface was studied. It was determined how surface structure influences random packing properties such as the packing fraction, th…
Optical lattice for tripod-like atomic level structure
Piotr Kubala, Jakub Zakrzewski, Mateusz Łącki
Standard optical potentials use off-resonant laser standing wave induced AC-Stark shift. In a recent development [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 117}, 233001 (2016)] a three-level scheme in…
Algorithms to generate saturated random sequential adsorption packings built of rounded polygons
Michał Cieśla, Piotr Kubala, Konrad Kozubek
We present the algorithm for generating strictly saturated random sequential adsorption packings built of rounded polygons. It can be used to study various properties of such packi…
Ergodicity breaking with long range cavity induced quasiperiodic interactions
Piotr Kubala, Piotr Sierant, Giovanna Morigi +1
Many-body localization (MBL) behavior is analyzed {in an extended Bose-Hubbard model with quasiperiodic infinite-range interactions. No additional disorder is present. Examining le…
Trapped by the drift
Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla, Bartłomiej Dybiec
The diffusion type is determined not only by microscopic dynamics but also by the environment properties. For example, the environment's fractal structure is responsible for the em…
Kinetics of random sequential adsorption of two-dimensional shapes on a one-dimensional line
Michał Cieśla, Konrad Kozubek, Piotr Kubala +1
Saturated random sequential adsorption packings built of two-dimensional ellipses, spherocylinders, rectangles, and dimers placed on a one-dimensional line are studied to check ana…
Saturated random packing built of arbitrary polygons under random sequential adsorption protocol
Michał Cieśla, Piotr Kubala, Ge Zhang
Random packings and their properties are a popular and active field of research. Numerical algorithms that can efficiently generate them are useful tools in their study. This paper…

Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla, Robert M. Ziff
We study random sequential adsorption (RSA) of a class of solids that can be obtained from a cube by specific cutting of its vertices, in order to find out how the transition from…

Piotr Kubala, Michał Cieśla
In the paper, packings built of identical cuboids with a square base created by random sequential adsorption are studied. The result of the study show that the packing of the highe…
