The melting transition of two-dimensional systems is a fundamental problem in condensed
matter and statistical physics that has advanced significantly through the application of …

We report a simple spin-coating technique for the production of monolayer nonclose-packed
colloidal crystals. Dispersions of submicron silica spheres in triacrylate monomers are …

While the melting of crystals is in general not understood in detail on a microscopic scale,
there is a microscopic theory for a class of two‐dimensional crystals, which is based on the …

We experimentally study the condensed phases of repelling core-softened spheres in two
dimensions. The dipolar pair repulsion between superparamagnetic spheres trapped in a …

Strongly interacting binary mixtures of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined to a
two-dimensional water-air interface are examined by theory, computer simulation, and …

We study the pattern formation in a two-dimensional system of superparamagnetic colloids
interacting via spatially coherent induced interactions driven by an external precessing …

We present the technical details of an experimental method to realize a model system for
two-dimensional (2D) phase transitions and the glass transition. The system consists of …

The physics of colloidal suspensions confined in slits and cavities has significantly
advanced during the last twenty years. In particular, freezing transitions in confinement have …

We report a study of 2D colloidal crystals with anisotropic ellipsoid impurities using video
microscopy. It is found that at low impurity densities, the impurity particles behave like …

We present a hydrodynamic study of a monolayer of squirmer model microswimmers
confined to a boundary by strong gravity using the simulation method of multi-particle …
