Participation of gravitational forces in the process of supramolecular crystallization in the system of monodisperse spherical silica particles (MSSP)

V.V. Serdobintseva, A.G. Okunev, D.V. Kalinin

The thickness of concentrated layer in the MSSP suspensions, which is sufficient to originate phase transition into permolecular crystals, has been experimentally determined and calculated. When the electrostatic repulsive forces dominate over molecular gravitational forces, the transition occurs on condition that the gravitational forces, which are equivalents of molecular gravitational forces, are certain to participate.
