Solid-Angle Nearest-Neighbor Method for Size-Disperse Systems of Spheres
Nydia Roxana Varela-Rosales, Michael Engel
Identifying nearest neighbors accurately is essential in particle-based simulations, from analyzing local structure to detecting phase transitions. While parameter-free methods suc…
Configurational forces explain echelon cracks in soft materials
Angel Santarossa, Nydia Roxana Varela-Rosales, Paul Steinmann +1
Soft fracture in highly deformable solids involves both geometric and constitutive nonlinearities, necessitating advanced theoretical and computational frameworks for its accurate…
Intelligent Soft Matter: Towards Embodied Intelligence
Vladimir A. Baulin, Achille Giacometti, Dmitry Fedosov +24
Intelligent soft matter stands at the intersection of materials science, physics, and cognitive science, promising to change how we design and interact with materials. This transfo…
Computational Self-Assembly of a Six-Fold Chiral Quasicrystal
Nydia Roxana Varela-Rosales, Michael Engel
Quasicrystals are unique materials characterized by long-range order without periodicity. They are observed in systems such as metallic alloys, soft matter, and particle simulation…
Tuning the Stability of a Model Quasicrystal and its Approximants with a Periodic Substrate
Nydia Roxana Varela-Rosales, Michael Engel
Quasicrystals and their periodic approximants are complex phases, which have by now been observed in many metallic alloys, soft matter systems, and particle simulations. In recent…
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…
