A patchy-particle 3-dimensional octagonal quasicrystal
Akie Kowaguchi, Savan Mehta, Jonathan P. K. Doye +1
We devise an ideal 3-dimensional octagonal quasicrystal that is based upon the 2-dimensional Ammann-Beenker tiling and that is potentially suitable for realization with patchy part…

Chirality transfer in lyotropic twist-bend nematics
Anna Ashkinazi, Hemani Chhabra, Anouar El Moumane +2
Using molecular simulations and classical density functional theory, we study the liquid-crystalline phase behaviour of a series of bent rod-like mesogens with a controlled degree…

A one-component patchy-particle icosahedral quasicrystal
Eva G. Noya, Jonathan P. K. Doye
Designing particles that are able to form icosahedral quasicrystals (IQCs) and that are as simple as possible is not only of fundamental interest but is also important to the poten…
