Abstract:

Characterization of self-assembled nanostructures is important to develop structure-property relations but remains a difficult task due to inherent defects/disorder. Existing methods, such as bond-orientational order theory, contain inherent limitations that restrict widespread use.  A recent and promising approach uses a set of orthogonal functions called shapelets. This work presents extensions to existing shapelet-based techniques and new shapelet methods to quantify local orientation and topological defects. The methods are provided in an open-source Python library to promote collaboration in shapelet research.
