Summary

Researchers conducted a combined experimental and simulation study using bond-order topology to match particle volume fraction in colloidal suspensions with temperature in atomic systems, investigating structural behaviour near the glass transition.

In this combined experimental and simulation study, we utilize bond-order topology to quantitatively match particle volume fraction in mechanically uniformly compressed colloidal suspensions with temperature in atomistic simulations. The obtained mapping temperature is above the dynamical glass transition temperature, indicating that the colloidal systems examined are structurally most like simulated undercooled liquids. Furthermore, the structural mapping procedure offers a unifying framework for quantifying relaxation in arrested colloidal systems.
