Colloidal self-assembly—the spontaneous organization of colloids into ordered structures—
has been considered key to produce next-generation materials. However, the present-day …

We provide a comprehensive quantitative analysis of localized and extended topological
defects in the steady state of 2D passive and active repulsive Brownian disk systems. We …

Modern theories of melting of two-dimensional systems are discussed that are mainly based
on the concepts of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) theory of phase transitions in …

The self-assembly of binary colloidal mixtures provides a bottom-up approach to create
novel functional materials. To elucidate the effect of composition, temperature, and pressure …

Hierarchical self-assembly provides a versatile pathway for generating new functional
materials. In this work, we show that confining core-corona colloids in a cylindrical cavity …

We present a detailed numerical simulation study of a two-dimensional system of particles
interacting via the Weeks–Chandler–Anderson potential, the repulsive part of the Lennard …

In this paper we analyze the structural behavior of two species of core-softened colloids:
spherical and dumbbell shaped molecules with distinct separations from almost complete …

Abstract 2D competitive systems shows a large variety of solid and aggregate patterns, re-
entrant fluid phase, a continuous melting as predicted by the KTHNY theory and, in some …

Using molecular dynamics simulation we have investigated the influence of random pinning
on the phase diagram and melting scenarios of a two-dimensional system with the Hertz …

Using computer simulations, we investigate the phase behavior of hard-core
spherocylinders with a length-to-diameter ratio L/σ= 5 and coated by a soft deformable …
