摘要

We investigate the behaviour of a system of colloidal particles interacting with a hard-core and a repulsive square shoulder potential under the influence of a gravitational field using event-driven Brownian dynamics simulations. We use a fixed square shoulder diameter equal to 1.4 times the hardcore diameter of the colloids, for which we have previously calculated the equilibrium phase diagram considering two-dimensional disks [H. Pattabhiraman et al., J. Chem. Phys. 143, 164905 (2015) and H. Pattabhiraman and M. Dijkstra, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 20, 094003 (2017)]. The parameters in the simulations are chosen such that the pressure at the bottom of the sediment facilitates the formation of phases in accordance with the calculated phase diagram of the two-dimensional system. It is surprising that we observe the formation of layers with dodecagonal, square, and hexagonal symmetries at the relevant pressures in the three-dimensional sedimentation column. In addition, we also observe a re-entrant behaviour exhibited by the colloidal fluid phase, engulfing a hexagonal crystal phase, in the sedimentation column. In other words, a floating crystal is formed between the colloidal fluid regions. Published by AIP Publishing.
