Complex Plasmas And Colloidal Dispersions: Particle-resolved Studies Of Classical Liquids And Solids

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of "e;proxy atoms"e;. The interaction between such "e;atoms"e; is determined by the properties of the surrounding medium and/or by external tuning. The best-known examples of such experimental model systems are two different domai...
