Dense Packing of Tetrahedra in Cylinders
Gabrielle N. Jones, Adil Mughal, Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer +1
We present the first systematic investigation of regular tetrahedra densely packed within a circular cylinder. Combining numerical simulations with exact analytical theory, we clas…

Using Particle Shape to Control Defects in Colloidal Crystals on Spherical Interfaces
Gabrielle N. Jones, Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Sharon C. Glotzer
Spherical particles confined to a sphere surface cannot pack densely into a hexagonal lattice without defects. In this study, we use hard particle Monte Carlo simulations to determ…
