Shrinkage mechanisms of grain boundary loops in two-dimensional colloidal crystals

We discuss the various mechanisms involved in the spontaneous shrinkage of circular grain boundaries in two-dimensional colloidal crystals. We provide experimental evidence that these grain boundary loops shrink owing to three intermittent mechanisms proposed for atomic materials, namely purely curv...
