We investigated the effect of size polydispersity on the crystal-fluid transition in hard-core repulsive Yukawa systems by means of Monte Carlo simulations for several state points in the Yukawa parameter space. Size polydispersity was introduced in the system only with respect to the hard particle cores; particles with different diameters had the same surface potential ψ0, but the charge per particle was not varied with packing fraction or distance. We observed a shift to higher packing fraction of the crystal-fluid transition of bulk crystals with a fixed log-normal size distribution upon increasing the polydispersity, which was more pronounced for weakly charged particles (ψ0 ≈ 23 mV) compared to more highly charged particles (ψ0 ≈ 46 mV), and also more pronounced for larger Debye screening length. At high polydispersities (≥0.13) parts of the more highly charged systems that were initially crystalline became amorphous. The amorphous parts had a higher polydispersity than the crystalline parts, indicating the presence of a terminal polydispersity beyond which the homogeneous crystal phase was no longer stable.
