Self-Assembled Chiral Photonic Crystals From Colloidal Helices Racemate
Qun-li Lei, Ran Ni, Yu-qiang Ma
Chiral crystals consisting of micro-helices have many optical properties while presently available fabrication processes limit their large-scale applications in photonic devices. H…
Driving dynamic colloidal assembly using eccentric self-propelled colloids
Zhan Ma, Qun-li Lei, Ran Ni
Designing protocols to dynamically direct the self-assembly of colloidal particles has become an important direction in soft matter physics because of the promising applications in…
Role of local assembly in the hierarchical crystallization of associating colloidal hard hemispheres
Qun-li Lei, Kunn Hadinoto, Ran Ni
Hierarchical self-assembly consisting of local associations of simple building-blocks for the formation of complex structures widely exists in nature, while the essential role of l…
Reply to "Failure to replicate long-range tunable attractions in colloidal system"
Bo Li, Feng Wang, Di Zhou +3
An arxiv paper, ref. [1] by Cao et al., claimed that the tunable attraction reported in our ref. [2] could not be detected. Ref. [1] was submitted to Nature in Apr. 2016 as a Comme…
