Recently, keen attention has been paid to the ex-traordinary suspension propertiesof “deionized” col-loidal spheres. A suspension of monodisperse colloidal spheres, which is usually milky white in appearance, exhibits beautiful iridescent colors in the deionized state. This iridescence is dueto the Bragg reflection of visible light by the “crystal-like” structures. The colloidal crystals behave like the usual solid crystals of identical atoms. However, their physical properties are extraordinary, mainly because they are crystal-like li-quids with a fundamental length of about 103-104 times that ofthe atomic length scale. Typical examples of the extraordinary properties are (1) existence of a broad peak in theX-ray, neutron, and light scattering curves for the “liquid-like” structures, 1-5 (2) microscopic ob-servation of “crystal-like” structures of colloidal spheres, 6-9 (3) spectroscopic propertiesof colloidal crystals, 10-15 (4) characteristic dynamic properties of “gas-like",“liquid-like”, and “crystal-like” colloidal suspensions, 16-22 and (5) specific viscosity properties. 23-27
