Melting and re-entrant melting of polydisperse hard disks
Pablo Sampedro Ruiz, Qun-li Lei, Ran Ni
Because of long-wavelength fluctuations, the nature of solids and phase transitions in 2D are different from those in 3D systems, and have been heavily debated in past decades, in…

Non-Equilibrium Strongly Hyperuniform Fluids of Circle Active Particles with Large Local Density Fluctuations
Qun-li Lei, Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Ran Ni
Disordered hyperuniform structures are an exotic state of matter having vanishing long-wavelength density fluctuations similar to perfect crystals but without long-range order. Alt…

Entropy stabilizes floppy crystals of mobile DNA-coated colloids
Hao Hu, Pablo Sampedro Ruiz, Ran Ni
Grafting linkers with open ends of complementary single-stranded DNA makes a flexible tool to tune interactions between colloids,which facilitates the design of complex self-assemb…
