Adsorption anomalies in a 2D model of cluster-forming systems
E. Bildanau, J. Pȩkalski, V. Vikhrenko +1
Adsorption on a boundary line confining a monolayer of particles self-assembling into clusters is studied by MC simulations. We focus on a system of particles interacting via compe…
Self-Assembly of Spiral Patterns in Confined System with Competing Interactions
Jakub Pekalski, Eldar Bildanov, Alina Ciach
Colloidal particles in polymer solutions and functionalized nanoparticles often exhibit short-range attraction coupled with long-range repulsion (SALR) leading to the spontaneous f…
Exactly solvable model for self-assembly of hard core - soft shell particles at interfaces
Alina Ciach, Jakub Pekalski
A lattice model with soft repulsion followed by attraction is developed for a monolayer of hybrid core-shell particles self-assembling at an interface. The model is solved exactly…
Effects of rigid or adaptive confinement on colloidal self-assembly. Fixed vs. fluctuating number of confined particles
J. Pękalski, N. G. Almarza, A. Ciach
The effects of confinement on colloidal self-assembly in the case of fixed number of confined particles are studied in the one dimensional lattice model solved exactly in the Grand…
Bistability in a self-assembling system confined by elastic walls. Exact results in a one-dimensional lattice model
Jakub Pękalski, Alina Ciach, Noé G. Almarza
The impact of confinement on self-assembly of particles interacting with short-range attraction and long-range repulsion (SALR) potential is studied for thermodynamic states corres…
Self-assembly of lipids in water. Exact results from a one-dimensional lattice model
Jakub Pękalski, Paweł Rogowski, Alina Ciach
We consider a lattice model for amphiphiles in a solvent with molecules chemically similar to one part of the amphiphilic molecule. The dependence of the interaction potential on o…
Periodic ordering of clusters and stripes in a two-dimensional lattice model. II. Results of Monte Carlo simulation
N. G. Almarza, J. Pekalski, A. Ciach
The triangular lattice model with nearest-neighbor attraction and third-neighbor repulsion, introduced in [J. Pekalski, A. Ciach and N. G. Almarza, arXiv:1401.0801 [cond-mat.soft]]…
Periodic ordering of clusters and stripes in a two-dimensional lattice model. I. Ground state, mean-field phase diagram and structure of the disordered phases
J. Pekalski, A. Ciach, N. Almarza
The short-range attraction and long-range repulsion (SALR) between nanoparticles or macromolecules can lead to spontaneous pattern formation on solid surfaces, fluid interfaces or…
Origin of similarity of phase diagrams in amphiphilic and colloidal systems with competing interactions
A. Ciach, J. Pekalski, W. T. Gozdz
We show that amphiphilic and colloidal systems with competing interactions can be described by the same Landau-Brazovskii functional. The functional is obtained by a systematic coa…
Periodic ordering of clusters in a one-dimensional lattice model
J. Pekalski, A. Ciach, N. G. Almarza
A generic lattice model for systems containing particles interacting with short-range attraction long-range repulsion (SALR) potential that can be solved exactly in one dimension i…
