Complex crystals from size-disperse spheres

PK Bommineni, NR Varela-Rosales, M Klement… - Physical review …, 2019‏ - APS
Colloids are rarely perfectly uniform but follow a distribution of sizes, shapes, and charges.
This dispersity can be inherent (static) or develop and change over time (dynamic). Despite …

Particle localization and hyperuniformity of polymer‐grafted nanoparticle materials

A Chremos, JF Douglas - Annalen der Physik, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
The properties of materials largely reflect the degree and character of the localization of the
molecules comprising them so that the study and characterization of particle localization has …
