Background:

Recent experiments explore liquid substrates for 2D crystal production, like graphene.
There is a growing interest in amorphous materials and their production methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the benefits of using a liquid substrate for amorphous material production.
To determine if substrate motion optimizes the self-assembly process.

Main Methods:

A two-dimensional coarse-grained model of interacting particles was employed.
The model simulated particle self-assembly on a substrate with varying degrees of liquidity and motion.

Main Results:

Introducing substrate atom motion significantly improves the self-assembly of particles.
Optimal self-assembly requires a specific level of substrate liquidity, dependent on sample temperature.
The study highlights the impact of combining different degrees of freedom in self-assembly.

Conclusions:

Liquid substrates offer a viable route to optimize amorphous material production.
Substrate dynamics play a crucial role in enhancing self-assembly processes.
Tailoring substrate properties can unlock new possibilities in materials synthesis.
