How Quasicrystals Remember: Hierarchical Memory Under Cyclic Shear
Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel, Marjolein Dijkstra
Quasicrystals occupy a unique middle ground between periodically ordered crystals and disordered glasses, making them an ideal platform for examining the interplay between disorder…
Striking Similarities in Dynamics and Vibrations of 2D Quasicrystals and Supercooled Liquids
Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel, Marjolein Dijkstra
We investigate the interplay between structure and dynamics in two structurally distinct two-dimensional systems: a dodecagonal quasicrystal (DDQC) and a supercooled binary liquid.…
Relationship between Structure and Dynamics of an Icosahedral Quasicrystal using Unsupervised Machine Learning
Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel, Susana Marín-Aguilar, Marjolein Dijkstra
We present a comprehensive study of the structure, formation, and dynamics of a one-component model system that self-assembles into an icosahedral quasicrystal (IQC). Using molecul…
Phase diagram of the hard-sphere potential model in three and four dimensions using a pseudo-hard-sphere potential
Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel, Ramón A. Castañeda-Cerdán, Ramón Castañeda-Priego
The hard-sphere potential has become a cornerstone in the study of both molecular and complex fluids. Despite its mathematical simplicity, its implementation in fixed time-step mol…
Inverse Design of Crystals and Quasicrystals in a Non-Additive Binary Mixture of Hard Disks
Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel, Jochem T. Lange, Alberto Pérez de Alba Ortíz +1
The development of new materials typically involves a process of trial and error, guided by insights from past experimental and theoretical findings. The inverse design approach fo…
