Summary

The team use machine learning and other computational techniques to predict the self-assembly characteristics of multicomponent colloidal materials. There is a direct link between a material’s macroscopic properties and its microscopic structure, which makes rational bottom-up self-assembly a powerful tool for engineering properties of materials. In general, colloids are facile material building blocks whose shape, charge, and surface functionalization can be tuned to control their assembly. The team have recently developed an approach for systematically enumerating crystalline ground states of two-dimensional multicomponent colloidal materials using symmetry. This allows them to generate phase diagrams for multicomponent mixtures which govern their equilibrium self-assembly, by searching over many, if not nearly all, relevant competing crystalline lattices.
