Self-Assembly of Isostatic Self-Dual Colloidal Crystals
Qun-Li Lei, Wei Zheng, Feng Tang +3
Self-dual structures whose dual counterparts are themselves possess unique hidden symmetry, beyond the description of classical spatial symmetry groups. Here we propose a strategy…
Effect of particle size distribution on polydisperse hard disks
Pablo Sampedro Ruiz, Ran Ni
Using Monte Carlo simulations, we systematically investigate the effect of particle size distribution on the phase behaviour of polydisperse hard disks. Compared with the commonly…
Entropy-Controlled Cross-Linking in Linker-Mediated Vitrimers
Qun-Li Lei, Xiuyang Xia, Juan Yang +2
Recently developed linker-mediated vitrimers based on metathesis of dioxaborolanes with various commercially available polymers have shown both good processability and outstanding…
Barrier-Controlled Non-Equilibrium Criticality in Reactive Particle Systems
Qun-Li Lei, Hao Hu, Ran Ni
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena generally exist in many dynamic systems, like chemical reactions and some driven-dissipative {reactive} particle systems. Here, by using computer…
Dynamic assembly of active colloids: theory and simulation
Zhan Ma, Mingcheng Yang, Ran Ni
Because of consuming energy to drive their motion, systems of active colloids are intrinsically out of equilibrium. In the past decade, a variety of intriguing dynamic patterns hav…
Effect of heavy impurities on the dynamics of supercooled liquids
Saurish Chakrabarty, Ran Ni
We study the effect of heavy impurities on the dynamics of supercooled liquids. When a small fraction of particles in the supercooled liquid is made heavier, they exhibit slower dy…
