报告摘要:In this talk I will present recent progress in the creation and structure formation of several kinds of ‘patchy’ colloids with various shapes and interactions between them. I will focus on recent experimental findings using colloids with soft (‘floppy’) layers and broken symmetry. The soft layers deform at short distance between the particles, giving rise to directional bonds that in turn lead to low-dimensional structures such as bubbles, sheets and shells. We developed a simple computational model that globally reproduces the experimental observations. Yet, several questions remain and will be addressed.

Prof. W. K. Kegel is interested in the mechanisms that govern the spontaneous formation of ordered structures from building blocks that vary in size from Angstroms to microns. The work in his group mainly focuses on colloids. Inspired by the rich complexity in biology, they have developed and studied new colloidal model systems in which both the geometry of the colloids and the orientation dependent interactions between them can be tuned. These particles are referred to as ‘patchy colloids’. The goal is to pin down the essential properties of these types of building blocks in the form of well-defined patchy colloids. The purpose of their work is to design building blocks that form new and unique materials with interesting structural, optical, mechanical and /or electronic properties.
