We introduce a mean-field theoretical framework for generalizing isotropic pair potentials to
anisotropic shapes. This method is suitable for generating pair potentials that can be used in …

We report a model to predict equilibrium density profiles for different shaped colloids in two-
dimensional liquid, nematic, and crystal states in nonuniform external fields. The model …

We demonstrate that fragility, a technologically relevant characteristic of glass formation,
depends on particle shape for glass-formers comprised of hard polyhedral particles. We find …
