摘要
The phase diagram of binary mixtures of particles interacting via a pair potential of parallel dipoles is computed at zero temperature as a function of composition and the ratio of their magnetic susceptibilities. Using lattice sums, a rich variety of different stable crystalline structures is identified including A(m) B-n structures. (A (B) particles correspond to large (small) dipolar moments.) Their elementary cells consist of triangular, square, rectangular or rhombic lattices of the A particles with a basis comprising various structures of A and B particles. For small (dipolar) asymmetry there are intermediate AB(2) and A(2)B crystals besides the pure A and B triangular crystals. These structures are detectable in experiments on granular and colloidal matter. Copyright (c) EPLA, 2007.
