Abstract
AbstractThe formation of $$\mathrm {AB_2}$$
AB

type two-dimensional binary colloidal crystals was studied by performing Monte Carlo simulations with two different size particles. The effect of interactions between particles and between particles and a wall, and the particles size ratios on the formation of $$\mathrm {AB_2}$$
AB

structure were examined. $$\mathrm {AB_2}$$
AB

structures formed efficiently when the interaction between equivalently sized particles was smaller than that between differently sized particles. To create $$\mathrm {AB_2}$$
AB

on a wall, it was necessary to choose a suitable particles size ratios, and the attraction between the particles and the wall was greater than that between particles.
