The equilibrium structure of decoration lattices composed of colloidal particles adsorbed on periodic stripe-patterned substrates is calculated as a function of the stripe width and separation and for different interparticle interactions. Due to a competition of length scales, a wealth of different stable decoration lattices occurs such as triangular, quadratic, rhombic, kitelike, and sheared honeycomb lattices, triangular slices as well as triangle superlattices. This is of relevance for constructing templates that enforce crystal growth of unusual solid structures. [figures] Read the [full paper] as pdf.

Hard spheres

The hard sphere system freezes between [2] and [3], and in ~[23] dimensions (tags as contents!), as well as on stripe-patterned substrates [26]. Deep relations to dimensional crossover exist [5] [6]. Hard spheres were immersed in emulsions [9], confined to a flexible container [18], exposed to surfaces of other quenched spheres [37] and of random fiber networks [39], and subject to gravity [51]. Recently, the Rosenfeld functional [5] [6] was generalized to non-additive mixtures [53].
