Dominating Lengthscales of Zebrafish Collective Behaviour

Yushi Yang, Francesco Turci, Erika Kague +3

Collective behaviour in living systems is observed across many scales, from bacteria to insects, to fish shoals. Zebrafish have emerged as a model system amenable to laboratory stu…

Crystal nucleation in a vapor deposited Lennard-Jones mixture

Fabio Leoni, Hajime Tanaka, John Russo

Understanding the pathways to crystallization during the deposition of a vapor phase on a cold solid substrate is of great interest in industry, e.g., for the realization of electr…

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…

Structural signatures of ultrastability in a deposited glassformer

Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli, C. Patrick Royall +1

Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics si…

Design strategies for the self-assembly of polyhedral shells

Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc, Francesco Sciortino +1

The control over the self-assembly of complex structures is a long-standing challenge of material science, especially at the colloidal scale, as the desired assembly pathway is oft…

Two-step nucleation in a binary mixture of Patchy Particles

Camilla Beneduce, Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc +2

Nucleation in systems with a metastable liquid-gas critical point is the prototypical example of a two-step nucleation process, in which the appearance of the critical nucleus is p…
