“…All the variables normalized above are summarized in Table 1. A number of approaches, such as the structure factor [19], Lindemann parameter [20], and Bond-Order parameters [21] have been used to characterize crystallization. For instance, the structure factor, which is the Fourier transformation of radial distribution functions (RDF), is a useful indicator in analyzing long-range order of the system.…”

“…And it has also been observed that the interaction potential plays a determinant role in the system structure, as the charged colloidal suspension may get into glass or gel if the range of the repulsion is shortened at higher particle number density [20,21].…”

“…Crystal structures were identified by combination of visual inspection, spherical harmonicbase order parameter q 6 [35], and by comparison with the known crystal structures reported in [31-33, 36, 37]. The most abundant one is the NaCl-type, where the large spheres form an FCC lattice and the small ones fill the octahedral holes, as an interpenetrating FCC lattice.…”

We use numerical simulations to study the phase behavior of a system of purely repulsive soft dumbbells as a function of size ratio of the two components and their relative degree of deformability. We find a plethora of different phases which includes most of the mesophases observed in self-assembly of block copolymers, but also crystalline structures formed by asymmetric, hard binary mixtures. Our results detail the phenomenological behavior of these systems when softness is introduced in terms of two different classes of inter-particle interactions: (a) the elastic Hertz potential, that has a finite energy cost for complete overlap of any two components, and (b) a generic power-law repulsion with tunable exponent. We discuss how simple geometric arguments can be used to account for the large structural variety observed in these systems, and detail the similarities and differences in the phase behavior for the two classes of potentials under consideration.

We carried out Langevin dynamics simulations to study the effect of the direction of a uniform external force on the crystallization of colloidal particles in a V-shaped groove. When the inclination of the side walls of a groove was set to a suitable value and the external force bisected the angle, the face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure grew with a {100} growth interface. When the external force was inclined, the number of solidified particles decreased with increasing inclination, which is different from the growth in an inverted pyramidal container.
