Self-Assembly of Patchy Particles.
Molecular simulations are performed to study the self-assembly of particles with discrete, attractive interaction sites - "patches" - at prescribed locations on the particle surface. Chains, sheets, rings, icosahedra, square pyramids, tetrahedra, and twisted and staircase structures are obtained through suitable design of the surface pattern of patches. Our simulations predict that the spontane...
متن کاملSynthesis of liquid core-shell particles and solid patchy multicomponent particles by shearing liquids into complex particles (SLICE).
We report a simple method that uses (i) emulsion shearing with oxidation to make core-shell particles, and (ii) emulsion shearing with surface-tension driven phase segregation to synthesize particles with complex surface compositions and morphologies. Subjecting eutectic gallium-indium, a liquid metal, to shear in an acidic carrier fluid we synthesized smooth liquid core-shell particles 6.4 nm ...
متن کاملPeriodic structures with spherical alumina particles: Transmission and reflection spectra
Coherent transmission and reflection coefficients of individual monolayers of spherical alumina particles in the wavelength range from 0.3 to 1.0 μm and multilayers consisting of a set of such monolayers are computed. Quasi-crystalline approximation of the theory for multiple scattering of waves and the transfer matrix method are used. Three types of coherent transmittance minima inherent to cl...
متن کاملPredictive supracolloidal helices from patchy particles
A priori prediction of supracolloidal architectures from nanoparticle and colloidal assembly is a challenging goal in materials chemistry and physics. Despite intense research in this area, much less has been known about the predictive science of supracolloidal helices from designed building blocks. Therefore, developing conceptually new rules to construct supracolloidal architectures with pred...
متن کاملCrystallization of tetrahedral patchy particles in silico.
We investigate the competition between glass formation and crystallization of open tetrahedral structures for particles with tetrahedral patchy interactions. We analyze the outcome of such competition as a function of the potential parameters. Specifically, we focus on the separate roles played by the interaction range and the angular width of the patches, and show that open crystal structures ...
