Entropic Trapping of Hard Spheres in Spherical Confinement
Praveen K. Bommineni, Junwei Wang, Nicolas Vogel +1
Monodisperse spherical colloidal particles confined within emulsion droplets can crystallize into icosahedral clusters. Experimentally it was observed that a few large colloidal pa…
Breakdown of Magic Numbers in Spherical Confinement
Junwei Wang, Jonathan Martín-González, Lukas Römling +6
Magic numbers in finite particle systems correspond to specific system sizes that allow configurations with low free energy, often exhibiting closed surface shells to maximize the…
Early-Stage Bifurcation of Crystallization in a Sphere
Chrameh Fru Mbah, Junwei Wang, Silvan Englisch +5
Bifurcations in kinetic pathways decide the evolution of a system. An example is crystallization, in which the thermodynamically stable polymorph may not form due to kinetic hindra…
Free Energy Landscape of Colloidal Clusters in Spherical Confinement
Junwei Wang, Chrameh Fru Mbah, Thomas Przybilla +4
The structure of finite self-assembling systems depends sensitively on the number of constituent building blocks. Recently, it was demonstrated that hard sphere-like colloidal part…
