Confined Binary Colloidal Crystals

Enhancing the self-assembly of binary colloidal crystals with confinement

Overview:

  • Investigated the self-assembly of colloidal crystals under confinement compared to the bulk
  • Performed hard-particle Monte Carlo simulations of systems of tetrahedra and octahedra nanoparticles in spherical and flat-wall containers at
  • Demonstrated higher crystallinity and lower quantities of single-component phase defects in binary crystal assemblies formed under confinement
