M. Medinanoyola et Bi. Ivlev, INTERACTION IN COLLOIDAL SYSTEMS - BUCKLING AND MELTING, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 52(6), 1995, pp. 6281-6288
The explicit form of the colloidal particle interaction has been calcu
lated in restricted colloidal systems. Based upon the exact interactio
n, effects of buckling of the monolayer of colloidal particles in the
middle of the electrolyte film is considered and the melting condition
of colloidal crystals is found. Thermal fluctuations of inner degrees
of freedom of the edge dislocation are shown to affect the condition
of the dislocation-mediated melting.
