Hybrid Monte Carlo Metadynamics (hybridMC-MetaD)
Charlotte Shiqi Zhao, Sun-Ting Tsai, Sharon C. Glotzer
We propose the powerful integration of the Hybrid Monte Carlo (hybridMC) algorithm and Well-Tempered Metadynamics. This new algorithm, hybridMC-MetaD, enhances the flexibility and…
Graph-Theoretical Description and Continuity Problems for Stress Propagation Through Complex Strut Lattices
Marcos A. Reyes-Martinez, Alain Kadar, Steven Dunne +3
Interconnected networks of rigid struts are critical for application in lightweight, load-bearing structures. However, accurately modeling stress distribution in these strut lattic…
Quasicrystalline Nanocrystal Superlattice with Partial Matching Rules
Xingchen Ye, Jun Chen, M. Eric Irrgang +4
Expanding the library of self-assembled superstructures provides insight into the behavior of atomic crystals and supports the development of materials with mesoscale order. Here w…
A Route to Hierarchical Assembly of Colloidal Diamond
Yuan Zhou, Rose K. Cersonsky, Sharon C. Glotzer
Photonic crystals, appealing for their ability to control light, are constructed by periodic regions of different dielectric constants. Yet, the structural holy grail in photonic m…
Formation of a single quasicrystal upon collision of multiple grains
Insung Han, Kelly L. Wang, Andrew T. Cadotte +5
Quasicrystals exhibit long-range order but lack translational symmetry. When grown as single crystals, they possess distinctive and unusual properties owing to the absence of grain…
Pressure-Tunable Photonic Band Gaps in an Entropic Colloidal Crystal
Rose K. Cersonsky, Julia Dshemuchadse, James A. Antonaglia +2
Materials adopting the diamond structure possess useful properties in atomic and colloidal systems, and are a popular target for synthesis in colloids where a photonic band gap is…
Predicting colloidal crystals from shapes via inverse design and machine learning
Yina Geng, Greg van Anders, Sharon C. Glotzer
A fundamental challenge in materials design is linking building block attributes to crystal structure. Addressing this challenge is particularly difficult for systems that exhibit…
Non-Close-Packed Three-Dimensional Quasicrystals
Pablo F. Damasceno, Sharon C. Glotzer, Michael Engel
Quasicrystals are frequently encountered in condensed matter. They are important candidates for equilibrium phases from the atomic scale to the nanoscale. Here, we investigate the…
Strong Orientational Coordinates and Orientational Order Parameters For Symmetric Objects
Amir Haji-Akbari, Sharon C. Glotzer
Recent advancements in the synthesis of anisotropic macromolecules and nanoparticles have spurred an immense interest in theoretical and computational studies of self-assembly. The…
Crossover Behavior in the Packing and Assembly of Multivalent Lock-and-Key Colloids
N. Khalid Ahmed, Greg van Anders, Elizabeth R. Chen +1
Emergent behaviors occur in a vast array of systems across many scales, and are of fundamental physical importance because of the intrinsic difficulty in linking microscopic system…
A Tale of Two Tilings
Sharon C. Glotzer, Aaron S. Keys
What do you get when you cross a crystal with a quasicrystal? The surprising answer stretches from Fibonacci to Kepler, who nearly 400 years ago showed how the ancient tiles of Arc…
Simulation studies of the self-assembly of cone-shaped particles
Ting Chen, Zhenli Zhang, Sharon C. Glotzer
We systematically investigate the self-assembly of anisotropic cone-shaped particles decorated by ring-like attractive patches. We demonstrate that the self-assembled clusters, whi…
A Precise Packing Sequence for Self-Assembled Convex Structures
Ting Chen, Zhenli Zhang, Sharon C. Glotzer
Molecular simulations of the self-assembly of cone-shaped particles with specific, attractive interactions are performed. Upon cooling from random initial conditions, we find that…
