Evaporation-induced assembly of colloidal clusters into superclusters with nonconvex deltahedral geometry

Using small colloidal clusters with dumbbell, triplet, tetrahedral, octahedral geometry as elementary building blocks, we investigate the templated-assisted cluster-cluster aggregation into hierarchical clusters, namely superclusters, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the colloidal s...
