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 کاملHow to Simulate Billiards and Similar Systems
An N -component continuous-time dynamic system is considered whose components evolve autonomously all the time except for in discrete asynchronous instances of pairwise interactions. Examples include chaotically colliding billiard balls and combat models. A new efficient serial event-driven algorithm is described for simulating such systems. Rather than maintaining and updating the global state...
متن کاملHow to simulate the quasistationary state.
For a large class of processes with an absorbing state, statistical properties of the surviving sample attain time-independent values in the quasistationary (QS) regime. We propose a practical simulation method for studying quasistationary properties, based on the equation of motion governing the QS distribution. In applications to the contact process, the method is shown to reproduce exact res...
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 ...
