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

, 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.

Growth of defect-free colloidal hard-sphere crystals using colloidal epitaxy [PDF]

, 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 ...

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

, 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-

A stochastic model for the evolution of the Web [PDF]

, 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

In Situ Atmospheric Plasma Treatment Enables First‐Layer Adhesion of PEEK on Borosilicate Glass for FDM‐Printed Non‐Assembly Mechanisms

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
A printhead‐mounted plasma nozzle activates the PEEK melt and the borosilicate print‐bed at the instant of contact. Only this simultaneous in‐situ activation of both interfaces yields reliable first‐layer adhesion (0.22 MPa). ABSTRACT Fused deposition modeling of poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) requires a high‐temperature build plate, yet PEEK does not ...

Free minimization of the fundamental measure theory functional: Freezing of parallel hard squares and cubes [PDF]

, 2012
Due to remarkable advances in colloid synthesis techniques, systems of squares and cubes, once an academic abstraction for theorists and simulators, are nowadays an experimental reality.

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.

The effects of shape and flexibility on bio-engineered fd-virus suspensions [PDF]

, 2011
We present a theoretical model to describe binary mixtures of semi-flexible rods, applied here to fd-virus suspensions. We investigate the effects of rod stiffness on both monodisperse and binary systems, studying thick-thin and long-short mixtures.
