Thermodynamics, formation dynamics and structural correlations in the bulk amorphous phase of the phase-field crystal model
Shaho Abdalla, Andrew J. Archer, László Gránásy +1
We investigate bulk thermodynamic and microscopic structural properties of amorphous solids in the framework of the phase-field crystal (PFC) model. These are metastable states wit…
Rectangle--triangle soft-matter quasicrystals with hexagonal symmetry
Andrew J. Archer, Tomonari Dotera, Alastair M. Rucklidge
Aperiodic (quasicrystalline) tilings, such as Penrose's tiling, can be built up from e.g. kites and darts, squares and equilateral triangles, rhombi or shield shaped tiles and can…
Smectic Layering: Landau theory for a complex-tensor order parameter
Jack Paget, Una Alberti, Marco G. Mazza +2
Composed of microscopic layers that stack along one direction while maintaining fluid-like positional disorder within layers, smectics are excellent systems for exploring topology,…
Complex-tensor theory of simple smectics
Jack Paget, Marco G. Mazza, Andew J. Archer +1
Smectic materials represent a unique state between fluids and solids, characterized by orientational and partial positional order, making them notoriously difficult to model, parti…
