We present what we believe to be the demonstration of optical vortex trap** and chiral
crystallization of sodium chlorate (N a C l O _3). In this work, the chirality of N a C l O _3 …

Coalescence of nuclei in phase transitions significantly influences the transition rate and the
properties of product materials, but these processes occur rapidly and are difficult to observe …

A model, including the chemical details of core nanoparticles as well as explicit surface
charges and hydrophobic patches, of triblock Janus particles is employed to simulate …

We study how a cavity changes the response of hollow microgels with respect to regular
ones in overcrowded environments. The structural changes of hollow poly (N …

Solid-to-solid transitions usually occur via athermal nucleation pathways on pre-existing
defects due to immense strain energy. However, the extent to which athermal nucleation …

Reanalysis of an asymmetric poly (ethylene-alt-propylene)-block-polydimethylsiloxane (PEP-
PDMS) diblock copolymer first investigated in 1999 has revealed a rich phase behavior …

In situ interfacial rheology and numerical simulations are used to investigate microgel
monolayers in a wide range of packing fractions, ζ 2 D. The heterogeneous particle …

Particle dynamics simulations are used to determine the shear-induced microstructure and
rheology of jammed suspensions of soft particles. These suspensions, known as soft particle …

Colloidal Janus spheres in the bulk typically spontaneously assemble into plastic crystalline
phases, while particle orientations exhibit glasslike dynamics without long-range order …

The self-assembly of uniform granular spheres is related to the fundamentals of granular
matter such as the transitions of phases, order/disorder and jamming states. This paper …
