Observation of solid–solid transitions in 3D crystals of colloidal superballs
Experimental understanding of anisotropic colloid self-organization has not yet caught up with theory. Here, the authors find that the experimental phase behaviour of superballs is more complex than predicted, revealing a solid-solid transition from a plastic crystal to two rhombohedral crystal phas...
