Quasi-crystalline order in vibrated granular matter
Andrea Plati, Raphael Maire, Etienne Fayen +4
Quasi-crystals are aperiodic structures that present crystallographic properties which are not compatible with that of a single unit cell. Their revolutionary discovery in a metall…
In search of a precursor for crystal nucleation of hard and charged colloids
Marjolein de Jager, Frank Smallenburg, Laura Filion
The interplay between crystal nucleation and the structure of the metastable fluid has been a topic of significant debate over recent years. In particular, it has been suggested th…
A hard-sphere quasicrystal stabilized by configurational entropy
Etienne Fayen, Laura Filion, Giuseppe Foffi +1
Due to their aperiodic nature, quasicrystals are one of the least understood phases in statistical physics. One significant complication they present in comparison to their periodi…
Colloidal Hard Spheres: Triumphs, Challenges and Mysteries
C. Patrick Royall, Patrick Charbonneau, Marjolein Dijkstra +4
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static an…
Improving the prediction of glassy dynamics by pinpointing the local cage
Rinske M. Alkemade, Frank Smallenburg, Laura Filion
The relationship between structure and dynamics in glassy fluids remains an intriguing open question. Recent work has shown impressive advances in our ability to predict local dyna…
