Phys. Rev. B 44, 435–438 (1991)Localized ordered structure in polymer latex suspensions as studied by a confocal laser scanning microscope
By using a confocal laser scanning microscope and a digital image analyzer, the influence of a glass-suspension interface on colloidal crystals was studied. Particular attention was paid to the interparticle distance (2Dexpt) in the ordered structure and the crystallization process. The 2Dexpt was insensitive to the distance from the interface up to about 40 μm. The crystallization process of the ordered structure was characterized by a strong anisotropy originating at the glass-suspension interface. © 1991 The American Physical Society URL:
