Two-dimensional assembly of gold nanoparticles grafted with charged-end-group polymers
Hyeong Jin Kim, Binay P. Nayak, Honghu Zhang +5
Hypothesis: Introducing charged terminal groups to polymers that graft nanoparticles enables Coulombic control over their assembly by tuning the pH and salinity of aqueous suspensi…
Exact Solution for Elastic Networks on Curved Surfaces
Yinan Dong, Roya Zandi, Alex Travesset
The problem of characterizing the structure of an elastic network constrained to lie on a frozen curved surface appears in many areas of science and has been addressed by many diff…
Chiral Assemblies of Pinwheel Superlattices on Substrates
Shan Zhou, Jiahui Li, Jun Lu +14
The unique topology and physics of chiral superlattices make their self-assembly from nanoparticles a holy grail for (meta)materials. Here we show that tetrahedral gold nanoparticl…
Phase Diagram and Structure Map of Binary Nanoparticle Superlattices from a Lennard-Jones Model
Shang Ren, Yang Sun, Feng Zhang +3
A first principle prediction of the binary nanoparticle phase diagram assembled by solvent evaporation has eluded theoretical approaches. In this paper, we show that a binary syste…
Ground States of Crystalline Caps: Generalized Jellium on Curved Space
Siyu Li, Roya Zandi, Alex Travesset +1
We study the structure and elastic energy of the ground states of crystalline caps conforming to a spherical surface. These ground states consist of positive disclination defects i…
Elasticity in Curved Topographies: Exact Theories and Linear Approximations
Siyu Li, Roya Zandi, Alex Travesset
Almost all available results in elasticity on curved topographies are obtained within either a small curvature expansion or an empirical covariant generalization that accounts for…
