Self-Assembly and Phase Behavior of Janus Rods: Competition Between Shape and Potential Anisotropy
Jared A. Wood, Laura Dal Compare, Lillian Pearse +5
We characterize the self-assembly and phase behavior of Janus rods over a broad range of temperatures and volume fractions, using Langevin dynamics simulations and free energy calc…
When Like Destabilizes Like: Inverted Solvent Effects in Apolar Nanoparticle Dispersions
Debora Monego, Thomas Kister, Nicholas Kirkwood +4
We report on the colloidal stability of nanoparticles with alkanethiol shells in apolar solvents. Small angle X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations were used to chara…
Janus helices: From fully attractive to hard helices
Laura Dal Compare, Flavio Romano, Jared A. Wood +2
The phase diagram of hard helices differs from its hard rods counterpart by the presence of chiral "screw" phases stemming from the characteristic helical shape, in addition to the…
Ligand-Induced Incompatible Curvatures Control Ultrathin Nanoplatelet Polymorphism and Chirality
Debora Monego, Sarit Dutta, Doron Grossman +7
The ability of thin materials to shape-shift is a common occurrence that leads to dynamic pattern formation and function in natural and man-made structures. However, harnessing thi…
The Thermodynamic Origins of Chiral Twist in Monolayer Assemblies of Hard Rod-like Colloids
Yawei Liu, Jared A. Wood, Achille Giacometti +1
The propagation of chirality across scales is a common but poorly understood phenomenon in soft matter. In this work, we use computer simulations to study chiral monolayer assembli…
Stability of Pinned Surface Nanobubbles Against Expansion: Insights from Theory and Simulation
Yawei Liu, Stefano Bernardi, Asaph Widmer-Cooper
While growth and dissolution of surface nanobubbles has been widely studied in recent years, their stability under pressure changes or a temperature increase has not received the s…
