29. A proper kinetic description of colloid motion requires the use of Brownian Dynamics (with the possible inclusion of hydrodynamic corrections), due to interactions of the colloid particles with solvent molecules. However, simple Newtonian molecular dynamics (with appropriate potentials of mean force between pairs of colloid particles) generates a sequence of equilibrium configurations of the colloid system and hence suffices for the computation of equilibrium properties of interest in the present work.

36. These Newtonian molecular dynamics data are not intended to represent the actual kinetics of a colloidal crystal or suspension. For example, they should not be used to extract diffusion constants. We simply utilize them here as an indicator of the phase of the colloid system, depending on whether the MSD saturates at long times or not.
