Self-assembly of repulsive interfacial particles via collective sinking.

Charged colloidal particles trapped at an air-water interface are well known to form an ordered crystal, stabilized by a long ranged repulsion; the details of this repulsion remain something of a mystery, but all experiments performed to date have confirmed a dipolar-repulsion, at least at dilute co...
