Localized orientational order chaperons the nucleation of Rotator phases in hard polyhedral particles
Vikram Thapar, Fernando A. Escobedo
The nucleation kinetics of the rotator phase in hard cuboctahedra, truncated octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra is simulated via a combination of Forward Flux Sampling and Umbrella…
Phase behavior of binary mixtures of hard convex polyehdra
Mihir R. Khadilkar, Umang Agarwal, Fernando A. Escobedo
Shape anisotropy of colloidal nanoparticles has emerged as an important design variable for engineering assemblies with targeted structure and properties. In particular, a number o…
Far-from-equilibrium Sheared Colloidal Liquids: Disentangling Relaxation, Advection, and Shear-induced Diffusion
Neil Y. C Lin, Sushmit Goyal, Xiang Cheng +3
Using high-speed confocal microscopy, we measure the particle positions in a colloidal suspension under large amplitude oscillatory shear. Using the particle positions we quantify…
Directed self-assembly of spherical caps via confinement
Carlos Avendano, Chekesha M. Liddell Watson, Fernando A. Escobedo
In this work we use Monte Carlo simulations to study the phase behavior of spherical caps confined between two parallel hard walls separated by a distance H. The particle model con…
