Direct observation of phase transitions in truncated tetrahedral microparticles under quasi-2D confinement
Abstract Colloidal crystals are used to understand fundamentals of atomic rearrangements in condensed matter and build complex metamaterials with unique functionalities. Simulations predict a multitude of self-assembled crystal structures from anisotropic colloids, but these shapes have been challen...
