Self-Assembly of Patchy Particles
Abstract
Molecular simulations are performed to study the self-assembly of particles with discrete, attractive interaction sites - "patches" - at prescribed locations on the particle surface. Chains, sheets, rings, icosahedra, square pyramids, tetrahedra, and twisted and staircase structures are obtained through suitable design of the surface pattern of patches. Our simulations predict that the spontaneous formation of two-dimensional sheets and icosahedra occurs via a first-order transition while the formation of chains occurs via a continuous disorder-to-order transition as in equilibrium polymerization. Our results show how precise arrangements of patches combined with patch "recognition" or selectivity may be used to control the relative position of particles and the overall structure of particle assemblies. In this context, patchy particles represent a new class of building block for the fabrication of precise structures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
