Key Points

The study reveals that bond fluctuations significantly affect the structural stability of colloids under depletion interactions.
Fluctuation rates and bond lifetimes in colloidal systems were measured, showing notable changes with varying conditions.
A theoretical model was developed to understand kinetic trapping in metastable states during the self-assembly process.
Insights from this research may enable better design of colloidal structures, overcoming challenges in self-assembly.

Implication

Experimental analysis reports bond lifetime and fluctuations in anisotropic colloids, suggesting improved self-assembly strategies.

Abstract

To fabricate large-scale structures using colloidal particle self-assembly, one of the main challenges is to prevent kinetic trapping in metastable states. Therefore, interactions and colloids must be carefully chosen to...
