Kibble-Zurek mechanism in colloidal monolayers
Sven Deutschländer, Patrick Dillmann, Georg Maret +1
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism describes the evolution of topological defect structures like domain walls, strings, and monopoles when a system is driven through a second order phase t…
Discontinuous shear modulus determines the glass transition temperature
Christian L. Klix, Georg Maret, Peter Keim
A solid - amorphous or crystalline - is defined by a finite shear modulus while a fluid lacks such. We thus experimentally investigate the elastic properties of a colloidal glass f…
Entropy and Kinetics of Point-Defects in Two-Dimensional Dipolar Crystals
Wolfgang Lechner, David Polster, Georg Maret +2
We study in experiment and with computer simulation the free energy and the kinetics of vacancy and interstitial defects in two-dimensional dipolar crystals. The defects appear in…
Specific heat in two-dimensional melting
Sven Deutschländer, Antonio M. Puertas, Georg Maret +1
We report the specific heat around the melting transition(s) of micrometer-sized superparamagnetic particles confined in two dimensions, calculated from fluctuations of posit…
Two-dimensional melting under quenched disorder
Sven Deutschländer, Tobias Kruppa, Hartmut Löwen +2
We study the influence of quenched disorder on the two-dimensional melting behavior by using both video-microscopy of superparamagnetic colloidal particles and computer simulations…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in 2D: Kibble-Zurek mechanism in temperature quenched colloidal monolayers
Patrick Dillmann, Georg Maret, Peter Keim
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism describes the formation of topological defects during spontaneous symmetry breaking for quite different systems. Shortly after the big bang, the isotropy…
