• 2D Colloidal Crystals with Quenched Anisotropic Impurities

  ORAL

  March 20, 2025, 11:24 AM – March 20, 2025, 11:36 AM

  Publication: The microscopic mechanisms by which materials change from liquids to solids without the usual crystallization process remains unknown. Whether window glass is a slowly aging liquid, or a true solid remains a longstanding unresolved question in condensed matter physics. Building on the recent research in two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals, we present an experimental study into the nature of the glass transition. In this study, the disorder present in the glassy system is controlled, and thus, the effects of anisotropic quenched disorder on the glass transition are studied.
