Controlled transitions between phyllotactic states of repulsive particles confined on the surface of a cylinder

AA Tomlinson, NK Wilkin - Europhysics Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Phyllotaxis is a botanical classification scheme that can describe regular lattice-like
structures on cylinders, often as a set of helical chains. In this letter, we study the general …
