Pressure–shape constitutive relation for αa=0.4 and αa=αc. (A) Shape evolution in αc at fixed αa=0.4. Shapes vary from self-assemble into BCC (blue) to FCC (red) and then back to BCC (blue). (B) Pressure–shape constitutive relation at fixed αa=0.4. Circles indicate FCC system initialization, and triangles indicate BCC system initialization. Marker colors indicate the value of the order parameter Q¯4 computed in the final structure of the system after equilibration. Boxed regions show the BCCFCC boundaries corresponding to lines 1 and 3 in Fig. 1. Errors are smaller than marker size. (C) Shape evolution for αa=αc. Shapes vary from self-assemble into BCC (blue) to SC (green). (D) Pressure–shape constitutive relation for αa=αc. Squares indicate SC system initialization; triangles indicate BCC initialization. Marker colors indicate the value of the order parameter Q¯4 computed in the final structure of the system after equilibration. Boxed regions show BCCFCC and BCCSC boundaries corresponding to lines 2, 4, and 5 in Fig. 1. Errors are smaller than marker size. Outliers are systems that did not equilibrate in 2×107 MC steps.
