Abstract

We consider two seemingly very different self-assembly processes: formation of viral capsids and crystallization of sticky disks. At low temperatures, assembly is ineffective, since there are many metastable disordered states, which are a source of kinetic frustration. We use fluctuation-dissipation ratios to extract information about the degree of this frustration. We show that our analysis is a useful indicator of the long-term fate of the system, based on the early stages of assembly.

  21. Defining analogous quantities to the FDR, such as the ratio of derivatives of correlation and response with respect to the final time t, is also possible. However, the FDR is the most physical and informative quantity. See, for example, Ref. [14], and Fig. 2 of P. Mayer and P. Sollich, J. Phys. A 37, 9 (2004).
