Observation of a microcrystalline gel in colloids with competing interactions

Abstract

A stable short-range crystalline structure is observed in colloidal systems with competing short-range attractions and long-range repulsions. We term these structures “microcrystalline gels” as the microcrystals are embedded in a dense disordered network.
