Cluster formation and phase separation in heteronuclear Janus dumbbells
Gianmarco Munaò, Patrick O'Toole, Toby S. Hudson +4
We have recently investigated the phase behaviour of model colloidal dumbbells constituted by two identical tangent hard spheres, with the first one being surrounded by an attracti…
Self-assembly of hard helices: a rich and unconventional polymorphism
Hima Bindu Kolli, Elisa Frezza, Giorgio Cinacchi +5
Hard helices can be regarded as a paradigmatic elementary model for a number of natural and synthetic soft matter systems, all featuring the helix as their basic structural unit: f…
From rods to helices: evidence of a screw-like nematic phase
Hima Bindu Kolli, Elisa Frezza, Giorgio Cinacchi +3
Evidence of a special chiral nematic phase is provided using numerical simulation and Onsager theory for systems of hard helical particles. This phase appears at the high density e…
