The use of nanocrystal (NC) building blocks to create metamaterials is a powerful approach to access emergent materials. Given the immense library of materials choices, progress in this area for anisotropic NCs is limited by the lack of co-assembly design principles. Here, we use a rational design approach to guide the co-assembly of two such anisotropic systems. We modulate the removal of geometrical incompatibilities between NCs by tuning the ligand shell, taking advantage of the lock-and-key motifs between emergent shapes of the ligand coating to subvert phase separation. Using a combination of theory, simulation, and experiments, we use our strategy to achieve co-assembly of a binary system of cubes and triangular plates and a secondary system involving two two-dimensional (2D) nanoplates. This theory-guided approach to NC assembly has the potential to direct materials choices for targeted binary co-assembly.

ABSTRACTWe have conducted a molecular dynamics computer simulation of the rupture of a small, two-dimensional film. The film was composed of two hundred atoms arranged on a close-packed triangular lattice and was thermally equilibrated at a reduced temperature of 0.05. Following equilibration, the rupture characteristics of the film were investigated under tensile loading, and the atomistic dynamical response was followed throughout the rupture process. An estimate of the internal stress field was made by performing a time average over the random forces. In tensile failure, the system undergoes an initial elastic deformation followed by plastic flow. The fundamental mechanisms of defect nucleation are briefly discussed.

We study the critical behavior of two-dimensional (2D) anisotropic systems with weak quenched disorder described by the Ising model (IM) with random bonds, the dilute N-color Ashkin–Teller model (ATM) and some its generalizations. It is shown that all these models exhibit the same critical behavior as that of the 2D-IM apart from some logarithmic corrections. The minimal conformal field theory (CFT) models with randomness are found to be described by critical exponents which are numerically very close to those of the pure 2D-IM.

I should like to give you a very condensed progress report on some spectrophotometric measurements of objective-prism spectra made in collaboration with H. Leicher at Bonn. The procedure used is almost completely automatic. The measurements are made with the help of a semi-automatic fully digitized registering microphotometer constructed by Hög-Hamburg. The reductions are carried out with the aid of a number of interconnected programmes written for the computer IBM 7090, beginning with the output of the photometer in the form of punched cards and ending with the printing-out of the final two-dimensional classifications.
