Non-Close-Packed Three-Dimensional Quasicrystals
Pablo F. Damasceno, Sharon C. Glotzer, Michael Engel
Quasicrystals are frequently encountered in condensed matter. They are important candidates for equilibrium phases from the atomic scale to the nanoscale. Here, we investigate the…
Self-assembly of a space-tessellating structure in the binary system of hard tetrahedra and octahedra
Andrew T. Cadotte, Julia Dshemuchadse, Pablo F. Damasceno +2
We report the formation of a binary crystal of hard polyhedra due solely to entropic forces. Although the alternating arrangement of octahedra and tetrahedra is a known space-tesse…
The Role of Short-Range Order and Hyperuniformity in the Formation of Band Gaps in Disordered Photonic Materials
Luis S. Froufe-Pérez, Michael Engel, Pablo F. Damasceno +4
We study photonic band gap formation in two-dimensional high refractive index disordered materials where the dielectric structure is derived from packing disks in real and reciproc…
Controlling Chirality of Entropic Crystals
Pablo F. Damasceno, Andrew S. Karas, Benjamin A. Schultz +2
Colloidal crystal structures with complexity and diversity rivaling atomic and molecular crystals have been predicted and obtained for hard particles by entropy maximization. Howev…
Complexity in surfaces of densest packings for families of polyhedra
Elizabeth R. Chen, Daphne Klotsa, Michael Engel +2
Packings of hard polyhedra have been studied for centuries due to their mathematical aesthetic and more recently for their applications in fields such as nanoscience, granular and…
Structural diversity and the role of particle shape and dense fluid behavior in assemblies of hard polyhedra
Pablo F. Damasceno, Michael Engel, Sharon C. Glotzer
A fundamental characteristic of matter is its ability to form ordered structures under the right thermodynamic conditions. Predicting these structures - and their properties - from…
Crystalline Assemblies and Densest Packings of a Family of Truncated Tetrahedra and the Role of Directional Entropic Forces
Pablo F. Damasceno, Michael Engel, Sharon C. Glotzer
Polyhedra and their arrangements have intrigued humankind since the ancient Greeks and are today important motifs in condensed matter, with application to many classes of liquids a…
