Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is an indispensable tool in structural investigations of
self-assembled colloidal crystals and colloidal liquid crystals. This paper reviews recent …

The interplay between shape anisotropy and directed long-range interactions enables the
self-assembly of complex colloidal structures. As a recent highlight, ellipsoidal particles …

Understanding how colloidal suspensions behave in confined environments has a striking
relevance in practical applications. Despite the fact that the behavior of colloids in the bulk is …

The design and assembly of monodisperse colloidal particles not only advances the
development of functional materials, but also provides colloidal model systems for …

Colloidal cuboids have the potential to self-assemble into biaxial liquid crystal phases,
which exhibit two independent optical axes. Over the last few decades, several theoretical …

We perform dynamic Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the equilibrium dynamics of
hard board-like colloidal particles in oblate and prolate nematic liquid crystals. In particular …

Abstract We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the phase behaviour
of colloidal suspensions of hard board-like particles (HBPs). While theories restricting …

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the phase behavior of hard rhombic platelets
as a function of the thickness of the platelets, T. The phase diagram displays a columnar …

We examine the ordering properties of rectangular hard rods with length L and diameter D at
a single planar wall and between two parallel hard walls using the second virial density …

By computer simulation, we model the phase behaviour of colloidal suspensions of board-
like particles under the effect of an external field and assess the still disputed occurrence of …
