It demonstrates how state-of-the-art X-ray diffraction techniques can be used to produce detailed characterizations of colloidal crystal structures prepared using different self-assembly techniques, and how smart systems can be used to investigate defect formation and diffusion in-situ. One of the most remarkable phenomena exhibited by concentrated suspensions of colloidal particles is the spontaneous self-organization into structures with long-range spatial and/or orientational orders. The study also reveals the subtle structural variations that arise by changing the particle shape from spherical to that of a rounded cube. In particular, the roundness of the cube corners, when combined with the self-organization pathway, convective assembly or sedimentation, was shown to influence the final crystal symmetries.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Amorphous substancesComplex fluidsChemistry, Physical and theoreticalMaterials scienceMaterials—SurfacesThin filmsSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021Physical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001Characterization and Evaluation of Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000Amorphous substances.Complex fluids.Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Materials science.Materials—Surfaces.Thin films.Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics.Physical Chemistry.Characterization and Evaluation of Materials.Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films.548.5Meijer Janne-Miekeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792255MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300431403321Colloidal Crystals of Spheres and Cubes in Real and Reciprocal Space1771521UNINA
