Dilute suspensions of Janus rods: the role of bond and shape anisotropy
Carlo Andrea De Filippo, Sara Del Galdo, Emanuela Bianchi +2
Nanometer-sized clusters are often targeted due to their potential applications as nanoreactors or storage/delivery devices. One route to assemble and stabilize finite structures c…
Giant splitting of the hydrogen rotational eigenenergies in the C filled ice
Simone Di Cataldo, Maria Rescigno, Lorenzo Monacelli +7
Hydrogen hydrates present a rich phase diagram influenced by both pressure and temperature, with the so-called C phase emerging prominently above 2.5 GPa. In this phase, hydrog…
Non-universal Voronoi cell shapes in amorphous ellipsoid packings
Fabian M. Schaller, Sebastian C. Kapfer, James E. Hilton +8
In particulate systems with short-range interactions, such as granular matter or simple fluids, local structure plays a pivotal role in determining the macroscopic physical propert…
Self-assembly of hard helices: a rich and unconventional polymorphism
Hima Bindu Kolli, Elisa Frezza, Giorgio Cinacchi +5
Hard helices can be regarded as a paradigmatic elementary model for a number of natural and synthetic soft matter systems, all featuring the helix as their basic structural unit: f…
Self-assembly of short DNA duplexes: from a coarse-grained model to experiments through a theoretical link
Cristiano De Michele, Lorenzo Rovigatti, Tommaso Bellini +1
Short blunt-ended DNA duplexes comprising 6 to 20 base pairs self-assemble into polydisperse semi-flexible chains due to hydrophobic stacking interactions between terminal base pai…
Self-assembly of bi-functional patchy particles with anisotropic shape into polymers chains: theory and simulations
Cristiano De Michele, Tommaso Bellini, Francesco Sciortino
Concentrated solutions of short blunt-ended DNA duplexes, down to 6 base pairs, are known to order into the nematic liquid crystal phase. This self-assembly is due to the stacking…
