abstract = {What is the optimal distribution of two types of
crystalline phases on the surface of icosahedral shells,
such as of many viral capsids? We here investigate the
distribution of a thin layer of soft material on a
crystalline convex icosahedral shell. We demonstrate how the
shapes of spherical viruses can be understood from the
perspective of elasticity theory of thin two-component
shells. We develop a theory of shape transformations of an
icosahedral shell upon addition of a softer, but still
crystalline, material onto its surface. We show how the soft
component “invades” the regions with the highest elastic
energy and stress imposed by the 12 topological defects on
the surface. We explore the phase diagram as a function of
the surface fraction of the soft material, the shell size,
and the incommensurability of the elastic moduli of the
rigid and soft phases. We find that, as expected,
progressive filling of the rigid shell by the soft phase
starts from the most deformed regions of the icosahedron.
With a progressively increasing soft-phase coverage, the
spherical segments of domes are filled first (12 vertices of
the shell), then the cylindrical segments connecting the
domes (30 edges) are invaded, and, ultimately, the 20 flat
faces of the icosahedral shell tend to be occupied by the
soft material. We present a detailed theoretical
investigation of the first two stages of this invasion
process and develop a model of morphological changes of the
cone structure that permits noncircular cross sections. In
conclusion, we discuss the biological relevance of some
structures predicted from our calculations, in particular
for the shape of viral capsids.},
