a An instance of each N-mer, from monomer (dashed square) to 60-mer (full square). Each pair of spheres interacts via a smoothed Morse potential with parameters α = 5R−1, r0 = 0.46R, rcut = 0.75R, where R is the radius of the full cage. For each intermediate, the total energy is equal to the sum of the pair potentials of all pairs of spheres, multiplied by the prefactor ϵ. b Yield curves for monomers and 60-mers at different concentrations (in units of R−3). No intermediate state was prevalent within the observed parameters range. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
