From: Nonequilibrium continuous phase transition in colloidal gelation with short-range attraction
Association (open blue symbols, units \({\tau }^{-1}{r}_{{\rm{a}}}^{-3}\)) and dissociation rates (closed orange to red symbols, units τ−1) of single-bonded particle clusters as a function of cluster size in simulations. Curves from top to bottom indicate increasing ϵ/kBT = 2 (triangle), 2.2 (diamond), 2.4 (dot), and 2.6 (square), across the gelation transition.
