Sublattice Melting in Binary Superionic Colloidal Crystals
Yange Lin, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
In superionic compounds one component pre-melts providing high ionic conductivity to solid state electrolytes. Here, we find sublattice melting in colloidal crystals of oppositely…
Manipulation of confined polyelectrolyte conformations through dielectric mismatch
Trung Dac Nguyen, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We demonstrate that a highly charged polyelectrolyte confined in a spherical cavity undergoes reversible transformations between amorphous conformations to a four-fold symmetry mor…
Control of Ionic Mobility via Charge Size Asymmetry in Random Ionomers
Boran Ma, Trung Dac Nguyen, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
Solid polymer electrolytes are considered a promising alternative to traditional liquid electrolytes in energy storage applications because of their good mechanical properties, and…
Crystalline membrane morphology beyond polyhedra
Hang Yuan, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
Elastic crystalline membranes exhibit a buckling transition from sphere to polyhedron. However, their morphologies are restricted to convex polyhedra and are difficult to externall…
