Packing of soft asymmetric dumbbells
Andela Šarić, Behnaz Bozorgui, Angelo Cacciuto
We use numerical simulations to study the phase behavior of a system of purely repulsive soft dumbbells as a function of size ratio of the two components and their relative degree…
Particle self-assembly on soft elastic shells
Andela Šarić, Angelo Cacciuto
We use numerical simulations to show how noninteracting hard particles binding to a deformable elastic shell may self-assemble into a variety of linear patterns. This is a result o…
Exploiting classical nucleation theory for reverse self-assembly
William L. Miller, Angelo Cacciuto
In this paper we introduce a new method to design interparticle interactions to target arbitrary crystal structures via the process of self-assembly. We show that it is possible to…
On the phase behavior of hard aspherical particles
William L. Miller, Angelo Cacciuto
We use numerical simulations to understand how random deviations from the ideal spherical shape affect the ability of hard particles to form fcc crystalline structures. Using a sys…
Effective elasticity of a flexible filament bound to a deformable cylindrical surface
Andela Šarić, Josep C. Pàmies, Angelo Cacciuto
We use numerical simulations to show how a fully flexible filament binding to a deformable cylindrical surface may acquire a macroscopic persistence length and a helical conformati…
Crystallization of hard aspherical particles
William L. Miller, Behnaz Bozorgui, Angelo Cacciuto
We use numerical simulations to study the crystallization of monodisperse systems of hard aspherical particles. We find that particle shape and crystallizability can be easily rela…
