This result is in net contrast with the isotropic aggregation of nanoparticles on fluid interfaces or the expected clustering of isotropic insertions in biological membranes. We present a phase diagram indicating where linear aggregation is expected and compute explicitly the free-energy barriers associated with linear and isotropic aggregation. Finally, we provide simple scaling arguments to explain this phenomenology."}],"volume":108,"oa":1,"_id":"10388","scopus_import":"1","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Physical Review Letters","pmid":1,"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"14","publisher":"American Physical Society","status":"public","external_id":{"pmid":["22540513"],"arxiv":["1201.0036"]},"author":[{"id":"bf63d406-f056-11eb-b41d-f263a6566d8b","full_name":"Šarić, Anđela","last_name":"Šarić","first_name":"Anđela","orcid":"0000-0002-7854-2139"},{"first_name":"Angelo","last_name":"Cacciuto","full_name":"Cacciuto, Angelo"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","date_updated":"2021-11-29T15:12:13Z","article_type":"original","doi":"10.1103/physrevlett.108.118101","type":"journal_article","issue":"11","acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the National Science Foundation under Career Grant No. DMR-0846426.\r\n","article_number":"118101","keyword":["general physics and astronomy"],"quality_controlled":"1","title":"Fluid membranes can drive linear aggregation of adsorbed spherical nanoparticles","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1201.0036"}],"intvolume":"       108","extern":"1","date_published":"2012-03-14T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Šarić A, Cacciuto A.
