Abstract
Possibilities of fluid-solid and solid-solid phase transformations in colloidal suspensions and star polymer solutions are reviewed. We start from given interparticle pair potentials and predict the corresponding phase diagrams using computer simulations and density functional theory. When possible, the results are compared with experimental data. In particular, we discuss a cascade of freezing transitions for confined colloids and re-entrant melting and anisotropic solid phases for star polymer solutions.
