Predicting structure and swelling of microgels with different crosslinker concentrations combining machine-learning with numerical simulations
Susana Marín-Aguilar, Emanuela Zaccarelli
Microgels made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) are the prototype of soft, thermoresponsive particles widely used to study fundamental problems in condensed matter physics. However,…
Flexible Colloidal Molecules with Directional Bonds and Controlled Flexibility
Yogesh Shelke, Fabrizio Camerin, Susana Marín-Aguilar +3
Colloidal molecules are ideal model systems for mimicking real molecules and can serve as versatile building blocks for the bottom-up self-assembly of flexible and smart materials.…
Guiding the self-assembly of colloidal diamond
Susana Marín-Aguilar, Fabrizio Camerin, Marjolein Dijkstra
The assembly of colloidal cubic diamond is a challenging process since the shape and interaction parameters and the thermodynamic conditions where this structure is stable are elus…
Exploiting anisotropic particle shape to electrostatically assemble colloidal molecules with high yield and purity
Yogesh Shelke, Susana Marín-Aguilar, Fabrizio Camerin +2
Hypothesis: Colloidal molecules with anisotropic shapes and interactions are powerful model systems for deciphering the behavior of real molecules and building units for creating m…
Machine-learning effective many-body potentials for anisotropic particles using orientation-dependent symmetry functions
Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, Giuliana Giunta, Susana Marín-Aguilar +1
Spherically-symmetric atom-centered descriptors of atomic environments have been widely used for constructing potential or free energy surfaces of atomistic and colloidal systems a…
Correlation between plastic rearrangements and local structure in a cyclically driven glass
Saheli Mitra, Susana Marin-Aguilar, Srikanth Sastry +2
The correlation between local structure and the propensity for structural rearrangements has been widely investigated in glass forming liquids and glasses. In this paper we use the…
Autonomously revealing hidden local structures in supercooled liquids
Emanuele Boattini, Susana Marín-Aguilar, Saheli Mitra +3
Few questions in condensed matter science have proven as difficult to unravel as the interplay between structure and dynamics in supercooled liquids and glasses. The conundrum: clo…
Rotational and translational dynamics in dense fluids of patchy particles
Susana Marín-Aguilar, Henricus H. Wensink, Giuseppe Foffi +1
We explore the effect of directionality on rotational and translational relaxation in glassy systems of patchy particles. Using molecular dynamics simulations we analyze the impact…
Designing slower glasses by manipulating their local structure
Susana Marín Aguilar, Henricus H. Wensink, Giuseppe Foffi +1
Glasses remain an elusive and poorly understood state of matter. For example, it is not clear how we can design an efficient macroscopic glass former by tuning the properties of it…
