Extreme cooperative swelling in topologically disordered fibre entanglements
Alistair R. Overy, Raj Pandya, Phillip M. Maffettone +3
Entangled states are ubiquitous amongst fibrous materials, whether naturally occurring (keratin, collagen, DNA) or synthetic (nanotube assemblies, elastane). A key mechanical chara…
Hybrid Local-Order Mechanism for Inversion Symmetry Breaking
Emma H Wolpert, Alistair R Overy, Peter M M Thygesen +3
Using classical Monte Carlo simulations, we study a simple statistical mechanical model of relevance to the emergence of polarisation from local displacements on the square and cub…
Negative thermal expansion and metallophilicity in Cu[Co(CN)]
Adam F. Sapnik, Xiaofei Liu, Hanna L. B. Boström +5
We report the synthesis and structural characterisation of the molecular framework copper(I) hexacyanocobaltate(III), Cu[Co(CN)], which we find to be isostructural to H…
Design of crystal-like aperiodic solids with selective disorder--phonon coupling
Alistair R. Overy, Andrew B. Cairns, Matthew J. Cliffe +2
Functional materials design normally focuses on structurally-ordered systems because disorder is considered detrimental to many important physical properties. Here we challenge thi…
