Curvature as a guiding field for patterns in thin block copolymer films
Giang Thi Vu, Anabella A. Abate, Leopoldo R. Gómez +4
Experimental data on thin films of cylinder-forming block copolymers (BC) -- free-standing BC membranes as well as supported BC films -- strongly suggest that the local orientation…
Pattern formation mechanisms in sphere-forming diblock copolymer thin films
Leopoldo R. Gómez, Nicolás A. García, Richard A. Register +1
The order-disorder transition of a sphere-forming block copolymer thin film was numerically studied through a Cahn-Hilliard model. Simulations show that the fundamental mechanisms…
Phase nucleation in curved space
Leopoldo R. Gomez, Nicolas A. Garcia, Vincenzo Vitelli +2
Nucleation and growth is the dominant relaxation mechanism driving first order phase transitions. In two-dimensional at systems nucleation has been applied to a wide range of probl…
Crystallization Dynamics on Curved Surfaces
Nicolas A. Garcia, Richard A. Register, Daniel A. Vega +1
We study the evolution from a liquid to a crystal phase in two-dimensional curved space. At early times, while crystal seeds grow preferentially in regions of low curvature, the la…
