Graphoepitaxy for translational and orientational ordering of monolayers   of rectangular nanoparticles
  The combinations of particle aspect ratio and enthalpic-barrier templates that lead to translational and orientational ordering of monolayers of rectangular particles are determined using Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory. For sufficiently high enthalpic barriers, we find that only specific combinations of particle sizes and template spacings lead to ordered arrays. The pattern multiplication factor provided by the template extends to approximately ten times the smallest dimension of the particle.
