Frustrated crystallisation and melting in two-dimensional pentagonal confinement

The crystallisation and melting behaviour of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined within a two-dimensional pentagonal environment is studied by systematically varying either the external magnetic field or the number of particles. A system containing 16 confined particles melts monotonicall...
