Fabrication of Colloidal Laves Phases via Hard Tetramers and Hard Spheres: Bulk Phase Diagram and Sedimentation Behavior

, 2017
Colloidal photonic crystals display peculiar optical properties that make them particularly suitable for application in different fields. However, the low packing fraction of the targeted structures usually poses a real challenge in the fabrication stage.

Self-consistent electric field-induced dipole interaction of colloidal spheres, cubes, rods, and dumbbells

, 2014
When calculating the interaction between electric field-induced dipoles, the dipole moments are often taken to be equal to their polarizability multiplied by the external electric field.

Growth of defect-free colloidal hard-sphere crystals using colloidal epitaxy

, 2017
Using event-driven Brownian dynamics simulations, we investigate the epitaxial growth of hardsphere crystals with a face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure on the three densest cross-sectional planes of the fcc: (i) fcc (100), (ii) fcc (111), and (iii) fcc ...

A stochastic model for the evolution of the Web

, 2002
Recently several authors have proposed stochastic models of the growth of the Web graph that give rise to power-law distributions. These models are based on the notion of preferential attachment leading to the "rich get richer" phenomenon. However, these

Alternating strings and clusters in suspensions of charged colloids [PDF]

, 2016
We report the formation of alternating strings and clusters in a binary suspension of repulsive charged colloids with double layers larger than the particle size.

Cholesterics of colloidal helices: Predicting the macroscopic pitch from the particle shape and thermodynamic state

, 2015
Building a general theoretical framework to describe the microscopic origin of macroscopic chirality in (colloidal) liquid crystals is a long-standing challenge. Here, we combine classical density functional theory with Monte Carlo calculations of virial-

Entangled Photon Pair Generator Via Biexciton–Exciton Cascade in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and its Simulation

Advanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this work an entangled photon pair generator that utilizes the biexciton–exciton cascade in semiconductor quantum dots is described on a physical, mathematical, and software level for interdisciplinary audiences, leading to Kraus operators to seamlessly incorporate it into bigger simulations.

LionGlass™: A low‐melting, carbonate‐free alternative to soda lime silicate glass

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 108, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract LionGlass™ is Penn State University's patent‐pending alumino‐silicophosphate glass compositional family that offers, for the first time, a viable low‐melting, carbonate‐free alternative to soda lime silicate glass by (a) lowering the melting temperature by up to 400°C compared to soda lime silicate glass and (b) eliminating the use of ...

The Roles of Plasticity and Selection in Rapid Phenotypic Changes at the Pacific Oyster Invasion Front in Europe

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Invasive species present significant management challenges worldwide due to their ability to rapidly adapt to novel environments. The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, a globally distributed invasive species, arrived in western Sweden in 2006 but has not yet colonised the low salinity waters of the Baltic Sea, presumably because low salinities
