Abstract
We study a model colloidal system where particles interact via short-range attractive and long-range repulsive Yukawa potentials. Using the structure factor calculated from the mean-spherical approximation as the input, the kinetic phase diagrams as functions of the attraction depth and the volume fraction are obtained by calculating the Debye-Waller factors in the framework of the mode-coupling theory for three different heights of the repulsive barrier. The glass-glass reentrance phenomenon in the attractive colloidal case is also observed in the presence of the long-range repulsive barrier, which results in the lower and upper glass regimes. Competition between the short-range attraction and the long-range repulsion gives rise to new regimes associated with clusters such as "static cluster glass" and "dynamic cluster glass," which appear in the lower glass regime. Along the liquid-glass transition line between the liquid regime and the lower glass regime, crossover points separating different glass states are identified.
