Abstract
In the field of freezing colloidal suspensions, it is important to understand the particle-scale behavior of particle packing. Here, we reveal the dynamics of particle packing by identifying the behavior of each single particle in situ. The typical pattern consists of locally ordered clusters and amorphous defects. The microscopic mechanism of pattern formation is ascribed to the non-equilibrium particle-packing process on the particle scale, described with the dimensionless Péclet number. The macroscopic migration of a particle layer is also revealed by an analytical model involving parameters of freezing speed and initial volume fraction of particles.
