Auxetic behaviour in crystals of hard polyhedra
Rinske M. Alkemade, Silvana A. Caipa Cure, Alptuğ Ulugöl +8
Auxetic materials - systems that, when subjected to a compression in one direction, also compress in one or more perpendicular directions - have intrigued researchers for decades d…
Vacancy defects in square-triangle tilings and their implications for quasicrystals formed by square-shoulder particles
Alptuğ Ulugöl, Giovanni Del Monte, Eline K. Kempkes +2
Almost all observed square-triangle quasicrystals in soft-matter systems contain a large number of point-like defects, yet the role these defects play in stabilizing the quasicryst…
Determining fluid-crystal phase boundaries for a binary hard-sphere mixture using direct-coexistence simulations
Rinske M. Alkemade, Alessandro Salo, Laura Filion +1
Determining fluid-crystal phase boundaries via direct-coexistence methods can be challenging due to the fact that the simulation box can introduce crystal strain. Recently, a direc…
