abstract = {Cluster crystals are periodic structures with lattice sites
occupied by several, overlapping building blocks, featuring
fluctuating site occupancy, whose expectation value depends
on thermodynamic conditions. Their assembly from atomic or
mesoscopic units is long-sought-after, but its experimental
realization still remains elusive. Here, we show the
existence of well-controlled soft matter cluster crystals.
We fabricate dendritic-linear-dendritic triblock composed of
a thermosensitive water-soluble polymer and nanometer-scale
all-DNA dendrons of the first and second generation.
Conclusive small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) evidence
reveals that solutions of these triblock at sufficiently
high concentrations undergo a reversible phase transition
from a cluster fluid to a body-centered cubic (BCC) cluster
crystal with density-independent lattice spacing, through
alteration of temperature. Moreover, a rich
concentration-temperature phase diagram demonstrates the
emergence of various ordered nanostructures, including BCC
cluster crystals, birefringent cluster crystals, as well as
hexagonal phases and cluster glass-like kinetically arrested
states at high densities.},
