The Free-Energy Barrier of Precritical Nuclei in Hard Spheres is Consistent with Predictions
Lars Kürten, Antoine Castagnède, Frank Smallenburg +1
Predicting crystal nucleation is among the most significant long--standing challenges in condensed matter. In the system most studied (hard sphere colloids), the comparison between…
Non-reciprocal interactions drive emergent chiral crystallites
S. J. Kole, Xichen Chao, Abraham Mauleon-Amieva +3
We study a new type of 2D active material that exhibits macroscopic phases with two emergent broken symmetries: self-propelled achiral particles that form dense hexatic clusters, w…
Anti-correlation between excitations and locally-favored structures in glass-forming systems
Danqi Lang, Camille Scalliet, C. Patrick Royall
Dynamics that are microscopic in space and time, in which particles commit to a position, so-called excitations, are considered the elementary unit of relaxation in the Dynamic Fac…
Complex flow profiles in microscopic active crystals
Abraham Mauleon-Amieva, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, Ian Williams +2
Active solids emerge from self-actuating components interacting with each other to form crystalline patterns. In equilibrium, commensurability underpins our understanding of nanosc…
Structural signatures of ultrastability in a deposited glassformer
Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli, C. Patrick Royall +1
Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics si…
Tuning Higher Order Structure in Colloidal Fluids
Xiaoyue Wu, Fiona C. Meldrum, Katherine Skipper +2
Colloidal particles self assemble into a wide range of structures under external AC electric fields due to induced dipolar interactions [Yethiraj and Van Blaaderen Nature 421 513 (…
