Self-assembly of dodecagonal and octagonal quasicrystals in hard spheres on a plane
Etienne Fayen, Marianne Impéror-Clerc, Laura Filion +2
Quasicrystals are fascinating structures, characterized by strong positional order but lacking the periodicity of a crystal. In colloidal systems, quasicrystals are typically predi…
Efficient event-driven simulations of hard spheres
Frank Smallenburg
Hard spheres are arguably one of the most fundamental model systems in soft matter physics, and hence a common topic of simulation studies. Event-driven simulation methods provide…
Topology of orientational defects in confined smectic liquid crystals
Paul A. Monderkamp, René Wittmann, Louis B. G. Cortes +3
We propose a general formalism to characterize orientational frustration of smectic liquid crystals in confinement by interpreting the emerging networks of grain boundaries as obje…
Averaging local structure to predict the dynamic propensity in supercooled liquids
Emanuele Boattini, Frank Smallenburg, Laura Filion
Predicting the local dynamics of supercooled liquids based purely on local structure is a key challenge in our quest for understanding glassy materials. Recent years have seen an e…
Point Defects in Crystals of Charged Colloids
Rinske M. Alkemade, Marjolein de Jager, Berend van der Meer +2
Charged colloidal particles - both on the nano and micron scales - have been instrumental in enhancing our understanding of both atomic and colloidal crystals. These systems can be…
Modeling of many-body interactions between elastic spheres through symmetry functions
Emanuele Boattini, Nina Bezem, Sudeep N. Punnathanam +2
Simple models for spherical particles with a soft shell have been shown to self-assemble into numerous crystal phases and even quasicrystals. However, most of these models rely on…
