Pressure-Tunable Photonic Band Gaps in an Entropic Colloidal Crystal
Rose K. Cersonsky, Julia Dshemuchadse, James A. Antonaglia +2
Materials adopting the diamond structure possess useful properties in atomic and colloidal systems, and are a popular target for synthesis in colloids where a photonic band gap is…
Mapping Disorder in Entropically Ordered Crystals
James A. Antonaglia, Greg van Anders, Sharon C. Glotzer
Systems of hard shapes crystallize due to entropy. How is entropy distributed among translational and rotational microscopic contributions? We answer this question by decomposing t…
Inverse Design of Simple Pair Potentials for the Self-Assembly of Complex Structures
Carl S. Adorf, James Antonaglia, Julia Dshemuchadse +1
The synthesis of complex materials through the self-assembly of particles at the nanoscale provides opportunities for the realization of novel material properties. However, the inv…
Shape and symmetry determine two-dimensional melting transitions of hard regular polygons
Joshua A. Anderson, James Antonaglia, Jaime A. Millan +2
The melting transition of two-dimensional (2D) systems is a fundamental problem in condensed matter and statistical physics that has advanced significantly through the application…
