| Abstract/Summary |
Photonic bandgap crystals enable an unprecedented way to control the propagation of light. Colloidal self-assembly presents a promising method for the fabrication of such crystals.
In order to know which conditions to use to build these systems, here we simulated different conditions and types of colloidal dimers with Monte Carlo Simulations. To characterize the structure of
each system Order Parameters and Bonding Orientational Correlations were used. At the end, a plot of density versus pressure led us identify the obvious transitions in each case
analyzed.
