Optimal interactions for addressable self-assembly
Tighe McAsey, Sushrut Tadwalkar, Ali Fele-Paranj +1
Addressable self-assembly asks that each building block assemble into a particular location in a target structure. Although particles may all be distinct, achieving high yield is a…
Hopping and crawling DNA-coated colloids
Jeana Aojie Zheng, Miranda Holmes-Cerfon, David J. Pine +1
Understanding the motion of particles with ligand-receptors is important for biomedical applications and material design. Yet, even among a single design, the prototypical DNA-coat…
Mass changes the diffusion coefficient of particles with ligand-receptor contacts in the overdamped limit
Sophie Marbach, Miranda Holmes-Cerfon
Inertia does not generally affect the long-time diffusion of passive overdamped particles in fluids. Yet a model starting from the Langevin equation predicts a surprising property…
Comprehensive view of microscopic interactions between DNA-coated colloids
Fan Cui, Sophie Marbach, Jeana Aojie Zheng +2
The self-assembly of DNA-coated colloids into highly-ordered structures offers great promise for advanced optical materials. However, control of disorder, defects, melting, and cry…
The Nanocaterpillar's Random Walk: Diffusion With Ligand-Receptor Contacts
Sophie Marbach, Jeana Aojie Zheng, Miranda Holmes-Cerfon
Particles with ligand-receptor contacts bind and unbind fluctuating "legs" to surfaces, whose fluctuations cause the particle to diffuse. Quantifying the diffusion of such "nanosca…
Thermodynamic stability versus Kinetic Accessibility: Pareto Fronts for Programmable Self-Assembly
Anthony Trubiano, Miranda Holmes-Cerfon
A challenge in designing self-assembling building blocks is to ensure the target state is both thermodynamically stable and kinetically accessible. These two objectives are known t…
