Controlling curvature of self-assembling surfaces via patchy particle design
Andraž Gnidovec, Simon Čopar
Curved structures in soft matter and biological systems commonly emerge as a result of self-assembly processes where building blocks aggregate in a controlled manner, giving rise t…

Long-range order in quadrupolar systems on spherical surfaces
Andraž Gnidovec, Simon Čopar
Understanding the interplay between topology and ordering in systems on curved manifolds, governed by anisotropic interactions, takes a central role in many fields of physics. In t…

Orientational ordering of point dipoles on a sphere
Andraž Gnidovec, Simon Čopar
Arrangement of interacting particles on a sphere is historically a well known problem, however, ordering of particles with anisotropic interaction, such as the dipole-dipole intera…
