Biased ensembles of pulsating active matter
William D. Piñeros, Étienne Fodor
We discover unexpected connections between packing configurations and rare fluctuations in dense systems of active particles subject to pulsation of size. Using large deviation the…
Inverse Design of Multicomponent Assemblies
William D. Piñeros, Beth A. Lindquist, Ryan B. Jadrich +1
Inverse design can be a useful strategy for discovering interactions that drive particles to spontaneously self-assemble into a desired structure. Here, we extend an inverse design…
Design of two-dimensional particle assemblies using isotropic pair interactions with an attractive well
William D. Piñeros, Ryan B. Jadrich, Thomas M. Truskett
Using ground-state and relative-entropy based inverse design strategies, isotropic interactions with an attractive well are determined to stabilize and promote as- sembly of partic…
Designing Pairwise Interactions that Stabilize Open Crystals: Truncated Square and Truncated Hexagonal Lattices
William D. Piñeros, Thomas M. Truskett
Using a recently introduced formulation of the ground-state inverse design problem for a targeted lattice [Piñeros et al., J. Chem. Phys. 144} 084502 (2016)], we discover purely re…
Designing convex repulsive pair potentials that favor assembly of kagome and snub square lattices
William D. Piñeros, Michael Baldea, Thomas M. Truskett
Building on a recently introduced inverse strategy, isotropic and convex repulsive pair potentials were designed that favor assembly of particles into kagome and equilateral snub s…
Breadth versus depth: Interactions that stabilize particle assemblies to changes in density or temperature
William D. Piñeros, Michael Baldea, Thomas M. Truskett
We use inverse methods of statistical mechanics to explore trade-offs associated with designing interactions to stabilize self-assembled structures against changes in density or te…
