(A) Structure factor, S(q), of a glassy suspension with nb=(1.4±0.1)% and ζ=0.76±0.02. (Inset) The detector image. (B) S(q) of a bidisperse and the two corresponding monodisperse crystalline samples with (green) nb=(6.6±0.7)% and ζ=0.67±0.01, (blue) ζ=0.62±0.01, and (red) ζ=0.63±0.02. (Inset) The detector image of the bidisperse sample. (CF) Nearest neighbor distance, dnn, versus generalized volume fraction, ζ, for (blue circles) small-only, (red diamonds) large-only, and (green squares) bidisperse suspensions with (D) nb=(2.3±0.2)%, (E) nb=(29±3)%, and (F) nb=(79±8)%. Crystalline samples are represented by filled symbols. The lines are fits to dnn(ζ)=aζ1/3, with a as a fitting parameter. In DF, ζseff is given by the upper x axis, and the violet vertical line indicates a value of ζseff=1. The swollen radii of the particles used in all shown measurements are listed in Table S1.
