Using a strategy that may be applied in theory or in experiments, we identify the regime in which a model binary soft matter mixture forms quasicrystals. The system is described using classical density functional theory combined with integral equatio... Read More about Quasicrystal formation in binary soft matter mixtures.

Pattern formation in two-dimensional hard-core/soft-shell systems with variable soft shell profiles (2020)
Journal Article
Somerville, W. R. C., Law, A. D., Rey, M., Vogel, N., Archer, A. J., & Buzza, D. M. A. (2020). Pattern formation in two-dimensional hard-core/soft-shell systems with variable soft shell profiles. Soft matter, 16(14), 3564-3573. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0sm00092b

Hard-core/soft shell (HCSS) particles have been shown to self-assemble into a remarkably rich variety of structures under compression due to the simple interplay between the hard-core and soft-shoulder length scales in their interactions. Most studie... Read More about Pattern formation in two-dimensional hard-core/soft-shell systems with variable soft shell profiles.
