Random sequential adsorption of discs on constant-curvature surfaces: plane, sphere, hyperboloid, and projective plane
Elizabeth R. Chen, Miranda Holmes-Cerfon
We present an algorithm to simulate random sequential adsorption (random "parking") of discs on constant-curvature surfaces: the plane, sphere, hyperboloid, and projective plane, a…
Crossover Behavior in the Packing and Assembly of Multivalent Lock-and-Key Colloids
N. Khalid Ahmed, Greg van Anders, Elizabeth R. Chen +1
Emergent behaviors occur in a vast array of systems across many scales, and are of fundamental physical importance because of the intrinsic difficulty in linking microscopic system…
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…
Packing and Self-assembly of Truncated Triangular Bipyramids
Amir Haji-Akbari, Elizabeth R. Chen, Michael Engel +1
Motivated by breakthroughs in the synthesis of faceted nano- and colloidal particles, as well as theoretical and computational studies of their packings, we investigate a family of…
Optimal Fillings - A new spatial subdivision problem related to packing and covering
Carolyn L. Phillips, Joshua A. Anderson, Elizabeth R. Chen +1
We present filling as a new type of spatial subdivision problem that is related to covering and packing. Filling addresses the optimal placement of overlapping objects lying entire…
Tetrahedral colloidal clusters from random parking of bidisperse spheres
Nicholas B. Schade, Miranda C. Holmes-Cerfon, Elizabeth R. Chen +5
Using experiments and simulations, we investigate the clusters that form when colloidal spheres stick irreversibly to -- or "park" on -- smaller spheres. We use either oppositely c…
Dense crystalline dimer packings of regular tetrahedra
Elizabeth R. Chen, Michael Engel, Sharon C. Glotzer
We present the densest known packing of regular tetrahedra with density phi = 4000/4671 = 0.856347... Like the recently discovered packings of Kallus et al. [arXiv:0910.5226] and T…
A Dense Packing of Regular Tetrahedra
Elizabeth R. Chen
We construct a dense packing of regular tetrahedra, with packing density .
