Emergent rhombus tilings from molecular interactions with -fold rotational symmetry
Stephen Whitelam, Isaac Tamblyn, Juan P. Garrahan +1
We show that model molecules with particular rotational symmetries can self-assemble into network structures equivalent to rhombus tilings. This assembly happens in an emergent way…
Common physical framework explains phase behavior and dynamics of atomic, molecular and polymeric network-formers
Stephen Whitelam, Isaac Tamblyn, Thomas K. Haxton +4
We show that the self-assembly of a diverse collection of building blocks can be understood within a common physical framework. These building blocks, which form periodic honeycomb…
Broken symmetry and the variation of critical properties in the phase behaviour of supramolecular rhombus tilings
Andrew Stannard, James C. Russell, Matthew O. Blunt +7
The degree of randomness, or partial order, present in two-dimensional supramolecular arrays of isophthalate tetracarboxylic acids is shown to vary due to subtle chemical changes s…
Random and ordered phases of off-lattice rhombus tiles
Stephen Whitelam, Isaac Tamblyn, Peter H. Beton +1
We study the covering of the plane by non-overlapping rhombus tiles, a problem well-studied only in the limiting case of dimer coverings of regular lattices. We go beyond this limi…
Entropically-stabilised growth of a two-dimensional random tiling
Andrew Stannard, Matthew O. Blunt, Peter H. Beton +1
The assembly of molecular networks into structures such as random tilings and glasses has recently been demonstrated for a number of two-dimensional systems. These structures are d…
Molecular random tilings as glasses
Juan P. Garrahan, Andrew Stannard, Matthew O. Blunt +1
We have recently shown [Blunt et al., Science 322, 1077 (2008)] that p-terphenyl-3,5,3',5'-tetracarboxylic acid adsorbed on graphite self-assembles into a two-dimensional rhombus r…
