Abstract: | We study the 2D crystalline phases of paramagnetic colloidal particles with dipolar interactions and constrained on a periodic substrate. Combining theory, simulation, and experiments, we demonstrate a new scenario of first-order phase transitions that occurs via a complete inversion of the energy landscape, featuring nonconventional properties that allow for (i) tuning of crystal symmetry, (ii) control of dynamical properties of different crystalline orders via tuning of their relative stability with an external magnetic field, (iii) an equivalent but independent control of the same dynamic properties via temporal modulations of that field, and (iv) nonstandard phase-ordering kinetics involving spontaneous formation of transient metastable domains. |
