Reconfigurable materials assembled from DNA-functionalized particles (DFPs) can switch between crystal structures. This transformation is reversible and controllable by temperature, enabling tunable material properties.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • DNA-functionalized particles (DFPs) enable the design of reconfigurable materials.
  • Controlling assembly and phase transitions is key to tuning material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate diffusionless transformations between BCC and FCC structures in DFPs.
  • Determine the thermodynamic reversibility and driving forces for these structural changes.
  • Demonstrate temperature-controlled switching for reconfigurable crystalline materials.

Main Methods:

  • Computational modeling and free energy methods.
  • Analysis of a three-dimensional binary system of multiflavored DFPs.
  • Validation in a DFP system with explicit DNA (un)hybridization.

Main Results:

  • Structural rearrangements between BCC and FCC are thermodynamically reversible and size-dependent.
  • Smaller nuclei favor BCC structures; larger crystallites favor FCC structures.
  • Temperature changes drive reversible BCC/FCC transformations without altering solution components.

Conclusions:

  • Diffusionless transformations in DFPs are reversible and controllable.
  • Temperature is a viable parameter for tuning DFP material structures.
  • Findings are applicable to experimentally realizable reconfigurable crystalline materials.
