a Three ramping protocols κσs(t) (black dashed lines) and the corresponding configurational fluctuations δ(t)/σS of N-CMs (coloured solid lines) with respect to the scaled elapsed time t/τc. b Probability distributions of N-CMs corresponding to the three different ramping protocols in a. We set Ar = 30 kBT in molecular dynamic simulations. Solid lines represent the most probable N from solutions of PN(t) (Δg = 0.4 kBT). c, Tuning the ionic concentration (blue solid lines) and zeta potential (blue dashed lines) over time in a polystyrene colloidal suspension. Each subpanel corresponds to the respective ramping protocol illustrated in a.
