(1) Computational and fundamental study of self-organized order in multi-component polymeric alloys: multi-block copolymers and star terpolymers. We intend to find novel co-continuous structures and complex crystalline or quasi-crystalline ones.
Some examples:
1D Fibonacci quasicrystals
Ising models on Penrose, dual Penrose, diced, and Kagome lattices
Phason unlocking phase transition in icosahedral quasicrystals and the Ising model
Anisotropic phason flips
