Searching for various melting scenarios of 2D crystals
Peng Hua, Yilong Han
In contrast to three-dimensional (3D) crystals that melt via a first-order transition, two-dimensional (2D) crystals can exhibit various melting scenarios under different temperatu…
Anisotropic-Isotropic Transition of Cages at the Glass Transition
Huijun Zhang, Feng Liu, Yilong Han
Characterizing the local structural evolution is an essential step in understanding the nature of glass transition. In this work, we probe the evolution of Voronoi cell geometry in…
Direct evidence of void induced structural relaxations in colloidal glass formers
Cho-Tung Yip, Masaharu Isobe, Chor-Hoi Chan +7
Particle dynamics in supercooled liquids are often dominated by string-like motions in which lines of particles perform activated hops cooperatively. The structural features trigge…
Reply to "Failure to replicate long-range tunable attractions in colloidal system"
Bo Li, Feng Wang, Di Zhou +3
An arxiv paper, ref. [1] by Cao et al., claimed that the tunable attraction reported in our ref. [2] could not be detected. Ref. [1] was submitted to Nature in Apr. 2016 as a Comme…
Surface relaxation of vapour-depositing colloidal glasses
Xin Cao, Huijun Zhang, Yilong Han
Vapour deposition can directly produce ultrastable glasses, which are similar to conventional glasses aged over thousands of years. The highly mobile surface layer is believed to a…
Assembly and Phase Transitions within Colloidal Crystals
Bo Li, Di Zhou, Yilong Han
Micrometre sized colloidal particles can be viewed as large atoms with tailorable size, shape and interactions. These building blocks can assemble into extremely rich structures an…
