Chiral photonic crystals from sphere packing
Tao Liu, Ho-Kei Chan, Duanduan Wan
Inspired by recent developments in self-assembled chiral nanostructures, we have explored the possibility of using spherical particles packed in cylinders as building blocks for ch…
Scaling analysis of negative differential thermal resistance
Ho-Kei Chan, Dahai He, Bambi Hu
Negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR) can be generated for any one-dimensional heat flow with a temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. In a system-independent scalin…
A hybrid helical structure of hard sphere packing from sequential deposition
Ho-Kei Chan
A hybrid helical structure of equal-sized hard spheres in cylindrical confinement was discovered as a 'by-product' of the recently developed sequential deposition approach [Physica…
Dense packings of spheres in cylinders I. Simulations
A. Mughal, H. K. Chan, D. Weaire +1
We study the optimal packing of hard spheres in an infinitely long cylinder, using simulated annealing, and compare our results with the analogous problem of packing disks on the u…
Densest columnar structures of hard spheres from sequential deposition
Ho-Kei Chan
The rich variety of densest columnar structures of identical hard spheres inside a cylinder can surprisingly be constructed from a simple and computationally fast sequential deposi…
