Quantum criticality of quasi one-dimensional topological Anderson insulators [PDF]

, 2014
We present an analytic theory of quantum criticality in the quasi one-dimensional topological Anderson insulators of class AIII and BDI. We describe the systems in terms of two parameters (g,χ) representing localization and topological properties ...

Spin-liquid phase and order by disorder of classical Heisenberg spins on the swedenborgite lattice

, 2014
Frustration refers to the inability to satisfy competing interactions simultaneously, often leading to a large number of degenerate ground states. This can suppress ordering tendencies, sometimes resulting in a spin-liquid phase.

Towards Crystals of Crystals of NanoCrystals: a Self-Assembly Study

, 2014
In this thesis several methods to synthesise monodisperse nanoparticles and how to self-assembled them within emulsion droplets are presented. The self-assembly behaviour of nanoparticles within the spherical confinement of emulsion droplets resulted in ...

Self-Assembly of Cubes into 2D Hexagonal and Honeycomb Lattices by Hexapolar Capillary Interactions

, 2016
Particles adsorbed at a fluid-fluid interface induce capillary deformations that determine their orientations and generate mutual capillary interactions which drive them to assemble into 2D ordered structures.

Can nonadditive dispersion forces explain chain formation of nanoparticles?

, 2013
We study to what extent dielectric nanoparticles prefer to self-assemble into linear chains or into more compact structures. To calculate the Van der Waals (VdW) attraction between the clusters we use the Coupled Dipole Method (CDM), which treats each ...

Triangular tessellation scheme for the adsorption free energy at the liquid-liquid interface : towards nonconvex patterned colloids

, 2009
We present a numerical technique, namely, triangular tessellation, to calculate the free energy associated with the adsorption of a colloidal particle at a flat interface.

Electronic Pumping of Quasiequilibrium Bose-Einstein Condensed Magnons

, 2012
We theoretically investigate spin transfer between a system of quasiequilibrated Bose-Einstein-condensed magnons in an insulator in direct contact with a conductor.

Crystallization and reentrant melting of charged colloids in nonpolar solvents [PDF]

, 2015
We explore the crystallization of charged colloidal particles in a nonpolar solvent mixture. We simultaneously charge the particles and add counterions to the solution with aerosol-OT (AOT) reverse micelles.

Effective shape and phase behavior of short charged rods

, 2009
We explicitly calculate the orientation-dependent second virial coefficient of short charged rods in an electrolytic solvent, assuming the rod-rod interactions to be a pairwise sum of hard-core and segmental screened- Coulomb repulsions.

Phase Diagram and Structural Diversity of a Family of Truncated Cubes: Degenerate Close-Packed Structures and Vacancy-Rich States

, 2013
Using Monte Carlo simulations and free-energy calculations, we determine the phase diagram of a family of truncated hard cubes, where the shape evolves smoothly from a cube via a cuboctahedron to an octahedron.
