Nonequilibrium assembly of Lennard-Jones particles on a sphere
Ivan Yu. Golushko, Olga V. Konevtsova, Daria S. Roshal +1
Studying physical mechanisms and common geometric principles underlying known spherical packings is crucial for rational design of synthetic nanocontainers. Here we model the growt…
Flat quasicrystalline tilings in terms of density wave approach
Aleksey S. Roshal, Olga V. Konevtsova, Sergei B. Rochal
Classical Landau theory considers structural phase transitions and crystallization as a condensation of several critical density waves whose wave vectors are symmetrically equivale…
Anomalous proteinaceous shells with octagonal local order
Sergei B. Rochal, Aleksey S. Roshal, Olga V. Konevtsova +1
Proteinaceous shells useful for various biomedical applications exhibit a wide range of anomalous structures that are fundamentally different from icosahedral viral capsids describ…
Theory of morphological transformation of viral capsid shells during maturation process
O. V. Konevtsova, V. L. Lorman, S. B. Rochal
In the frame of the Landau-Ginzburg formalism we propose a minimal phenomenological model for a morphological transformation in viral capsid shells. The transformation takes place…
Structures of Spherical Viral Capsids as Quasicrystalline Tilings
O. V. Konevtsova, V. L. Lorman, S. B. Rochal
Spherical viral shells with icosahedral symmetry have been considered as quasicrystalline tilings. Similarly to known Caspar-Klug quasi-equivalence theory, the presented approach a…
Dodecagonal spherical quasicrystals
I. A. Shevchenko, O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal
We argue that 2D dodecagonal spherical quasicrystalls (QCs) will be discovered in the nearest future and investigate how the planar QC order becomes compatible with the spherical g…
Density waves, dodecahedral geometry and structures of some spherical viral capsids
O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal, V. L. Lorman
A pentagonal order formed by 360 proteins in the bovine papilloma viral capsid and structures of some smaller viral capsids are considered from a unified point of view based on the…
Bridging the Landau theory of crystallization and the cluster approach to quasicrystals
O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal, V. L. Lorman
We propose the theory which unifies the description of quasicrystal assembly thermodynamics and quasicrystal structure formation by combining the Landau theory of crystallization a…
Chiral Quasicrystalline Order and Dodecahedral Geometry in Exceptional Families of Viruses
O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal, V. L. Lorman
On the example of exceptional families of viruses we i) show the existence of a completely new type of matter organization in nanoparticles, in which the regions with a chiral pent…
Constructing quasicrystalline lattices
O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal
A new method to construct quasicrystalline lattices is proposed. It is based on Landau crystallization theory. Like well-known cut and projection methods our approach deals with N…
