Energy landscapes, structural topologies and rearrangement mechanisms in clusters of dipolar particles (2013)
Journal Article
Farrell, J. D., Lines, C., Shepherd, J. J., Chakrabarti, D., Miller, M. A., & Wales, D. J. (2013). Energy landscapes, structural topologies and rearrangement mechanisms in clusters of dipolar particles. Soft Matter, 9(22), 5407-5416. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3sm50711d

Clusters of spherical particles with isotropic attraction favour compact structures that maximise the number of energetically optimal nearest-neighbour interactions. In contrast, dipolar interactions lead to the formation of chains with a low coordin...

Controlling the folding and substrate-binding of proteins using polymer brushes. (2012)
Journal Article
Rubenstein, B., Coluzza, I., & Miller, M. (2012). Controlling the folding and substrate-binding of proteins using polymer brushes. Physical Review Letters, 108(20), Article 208104. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.108.208104

The extent of coupling between the folding of a protein and its binding to a substrate varies from protein to protein. Some proteins have highly structured native states in solution, while others are natively disordered and only fold fully upon bindi...

Density functional theory for Baxter’s sticky hard spheres in confinement. (2012)
Journal Article
Hansen-Goos, H., Miller, M., & Wettlaufer, J. (2012). Density functional theory for Baxter’s sticky hard spheres in confinement. Physical Review Letters, 108(4), Article 047801. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.108.047801

It has recently been shown that a free energy for Baxter’s sticky hard-sphere fluid is uniquely defined within the framework of fundamental measure theory (FMT) for the inhomogeneous hard-sphere fluid, provided that it obeys scaled-particle theory an...

Crystallization of deformable spherical colloids. (2010)
Journal Article
Batista, V., & Miller, M. (2010). Crystallization of deformable spherical colloids. Physical Review Letters, 105(8), Article 088305. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.105.088305

We introduce and characterize a first-order model for a generic class of colloidal particles that have a preferred spherical shape but can undergo deformations while always maintaining hard-body interactions. The model consists of hard spheres that c... Read More about Crystallization of deformable spherical colloids..
