Melting of crystals in two dimensions.
While the melting of crystals is in general not understood in detail on a microscopic scale, there is a microscopic theory for a class of two-dimensional crystals, which is based on the formation and unbinding of topological defects. Herein, we review experimental work on a colloidal two-dimensional model system with tunable interactions that has given the first conclusive evidence for the vali...
متن کاملMelting of polydisperse colloidal crystals in nonequilibrium.
The influence of a time-dependent oscillatory external field on the melting transition of a polydisperse colloidal crystal is examined by theory and computer simulation. In a monodisperse crystal the field just induces an overall dynamical mode which does not affect the melting line. For a polydisperse sample, on the other hand, the field shifts the melting line towards smaller temperatures. Co...
متن کاملDirect Observation of Entropic Stabilization of bcc Crystals Near Melting.
Crystals with low latent heat are predicted to melt from an entropically stabilized body-centered cubic symmetry. At this weakly first-order transition, strongly correlated fluctuations are expected to emerge, which could change the nature of the transition. Here we show how large fluctuations stabilize bcc crystals formed from charged colloids, giving rise to strongly power-law correlated hete...
متن کاملMelting of anisotropic colloidal crystals in two dimensions
The crystal structure and melting transition of two-dimensional colloids interacting via an anisotropic magnetic dipole–dipole potential are studied. Anisotropy is achieved by tilting the external magnetic field inducing the dipole moments of the colloidal particles away from the direction perpendicular to the particle plane. We find a centred rectangular lattice and a two-step melting similar ...
متن کاملThermodynamic origin of surface melting on ice crystals.
Since the pioneering prediction of surface melting by Michael Faraday, it has been widely accepted that thin water layers, called quasi-liquid layers (QLLs), homogeneously and completely wet ice surfaces. Contrary to this conventional wisdom, here we both theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that QLLs have more than two wetting states and that there is a first-order wetting transition b...
