The AB6 binary colloidal alloy sample is composed of two different sizes of monodisperse PMMA particles, suspended in cis-decalin and tetralin. The sample is referred to as AB6 because, upon crystallization, the fundamental crystal lattice structure that is observed is 6 B (smaller) particles surrounding 1 A (bigger) particles. The AB6 sample was homogenized on June 29, 2001. From the onset of mixing, the sample began crystallizing.
