Data from: Colloidal hard spheres: Triumphs, challenges, and mysteries [nucleation]

Public

  • The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and dynamical phenomena to emerge, making the model an important target for achieving a comprehensive understanding of matter. In addition, while real colloidal suspensions are typically governed by complex interactions, Pusey and Van Megen [Nature 320, 340 (1986)] demonstrated that suitably tuned suspensions result in hard- sphere-like behavior, thus bringing a valuable experimental complement to the renowned theoretical model. Colloidal hard spheres are thus both a material in their own right and a platform upon which phenomena exhibited by simple materials can be explored in great detail. The various purposes enable a particular synergy between experiment, theory, and computer simulation. The nucleation body of work on colloidal hard spheres is assembled in this dataset. ...
