Metastable states of floating crystals SciReports
section C. It can be seen that, besides a few exceptions, the numerical results confirm our experimental observations.. In black, the initial particles positions, in yellow the particles trajectories and in red the final state. In both cases, the sixth particle was approached to the existing S5 crystal in the desired direction using the thermocapillary actuation system. Transition from a S5 to S6a. Transition from S5 to S6b.
In the first method, the switch between states is still a probabilistic process and it appears difficult to accurately predict the outcome of an experiment. Sometimes the method needs to be applied few times to obtain the wanted final state. Similarly, some transitions are not reachable using the controlled growth technique. However, combining both tools enables to reach all the observed metastable states for crystals from 3 to 19 particles and also to navigate between almost all the states.
