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…
Geometric Frustration Directs the Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles with Crystallized Ligand Bundles
Federico Tomazic, Aswathy Muttathukattil, Afshin Nabiyan +2
Polymer-grafted nanoparticles are versatile building blocks that self-assemble into a rich diversity of mesostructures. Coarse-grained molecular simulations have commonly accompani…
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…
Granular binary mixtures improve energy dissipation efficiency of granular dampers
Nydia Roxana Varela-Rosales, Angel Santarossa, Michael Engel +1
Granular dampers are systems used to attenuate undesired vibrations produced by mechanical devices. They consist of cavities filled by granular particles. In this work, we consider…
