Self-assembly of soft colloids into meso-, para-, and quasicrystals — •Stephan Foerster¹, Alexander Exner¹, Sabine Rosenfeldt¹, Peter Lindner², and Jan Perlich³ — ¹Physikalische Chemie I, Universität Bayreuth, Germany — ²Institut Laue Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France — ³HASYLAB/DESY, Hamburg, Germany

Soft colloids interact via soft potentials and often are internally structured. At high volume fractions this leads to the formation of mesocrystals, paracrystals and quasicrystals. [1,2] We show how multibody interactions, multiple length scales and defects decisively control self-assembly at high volume fractions. Neutron- and synchrotron X-ray diffraction are used to reveal the formation of these structures in-situ.
