Razporeditev interagirajočih delcev na sferi je zgodovinsko dobro znan problem, neraziskano pa je ostalo urejanje delcev z anizotropnimi medsebojnimi interakcijami, kamor spadata tudi dipolna in kvadrupolna interakcija. Problema orientacijskega urejanja sistemov točkastih dipolov pri fiksnem pozicij ...

The interplay between curvature, confinement and ordering on curved manifolds, with anisotropic interactions between building blocks, takes a central role in many fields of physics. In this paper, we investigate the effects of lattice symmetry and local positional order on orientational ordering in ...

Interaction anisotropy and substrate curvature both influence the structural order in many physical and biological systems. In this thesis, the interplay between the two effects is investigated in various systems in spherical confinement. Quadrupolar systems with fixed positional order show that bot ...

Packing problems are abundant in nature and have been researched thoroughly both experimentally and in numerical models. In particular, packings of anisotropic, elliptical particles often emerge in models of liquid crystals, colloids, and granular and jammed matter. While most theoretical studies on ...
