Design strategies for the self-assembly of polyhedral shells
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc, Francesco Sciortino +1
The control over the self-assembly of complex structures is a long-standing challenge of material science, especially at the colloidal scale, as the desired assembly pathway is oft…
Two-step nucleation in a binary mixture of Patchy Particles
Camilla Beneduce, Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc +2
Nucleation in systems with a metastable liquid-gas critical point is the prototypical example of a two-step nucleation process, in which the appearance of the critical nucleus is p…
Entropy-driven phase behavior of associative polymer networks
Lorenzo Rovigatti, Francesco Sciortino
Polymer chains decorated with a fraction of monomers capable of forming reversible bonds form transient polymer networks that are important in soft and biological systems. If chain…
A neural network potential with self-trained atomic fingerprints: a test with the mW water potential
Francesco Guidarelli Mattioli, Francesco Sciortino, John Russo
We present a neural network (NN) potential based on a new set of atomic fingerprints built upon two- and three-body contributions that probe distances and local orientational order…
Designing enhanced entropy binding in single-chain nano particles
Lorenzo Rovigatti, Francesco Sciortino
Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNP) are a new class of bio and soft-matter polymeric objects in which a fraction of the monomers are able to form equivalently intra- or inter-polymer…
The physics of Empty Liquids: from Patchy particles to Water
John Russo, Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli +1
Empty liquids represent a wide class of materials whose constituents arrange in a random network through reversible bonds. Many key insights on the physical properties of empty liq…
