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
