Self-assembly scenarios of patchy colloidal particles in two dimensions.
We have investigated the self-assembly scenario of patchy colloidal particles in a two-dimensional system. The energetically most favourable ordered particle arrangements have been identified via an optimization tool that is based on genetic algorithms. Assuming different simple models for patchy colloidal particles, which include binary mixtures as well as attraction and repulsion between the ...
متن کاملColloidal self-assembly: Patchy from the bottom up.
So, even if this phase-change material shows Anderson localization, can electron correlations still play a role? Not particularly, as in GeSb2Te4 these correlations are small and do rule out a Mott transition1. In the Mott picture, crystalline GeSb2Te4 should always be metallic. Yet it is not. Rather, Siegrist and colleagues derive a minimum metallic conductivity whose value agrees well with Mo...
متن کاملSelf-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 کاملSequence controlled self-knotting colloidal patchy polymers.
Knotted chains are a promising class of polymers with many applications for materials science and drug delivery. Here we introduce an experimentally realizable model for the design of chains with controllable topological properties. Recently, we have developed a systematic methodology to construct self-assembling chains of simple particles, with final structures fully controlled by the sequence...
متن کاملSynthesis of colloidal silica dumbbells.
We describe the synthesis and characterization of stable suspensions of monodisperse fluorescently labeled silica dumbbell particles. Pure dispersions of silica dumbbells with center-to-center lengths from 174 nm to 2.3 microm were produced with a variety of aspect ratios. Individual particles in concentrated dispersions of these particles could be imaged with confocal microscopy. These particl...
