In this project, we have analyzed how differently shaped colloidal building blocks, so called colloidal ”atoms”, can influence the flexibility and formation of colloidal molecules, which is a finite sized cluster of colloidal atoms. We investigated how particle shape and size and linker DNA control or affect the flexibility of colloidal molecules and the translational and angular displacement of the colloidal ”atom”. We also have shown preferred angles between atoms, by analyzing the location of the bonded particles on the face of the cube.Show less
