N2 - We perform two kinds of computer simulations on poly disperse hard-sphere systems; a molecular-dynamics simulation on atomic systems and a Brownian-dynamics simulation on colloidal suspensions. By the analyses of the mean square displacement and the radial distribution function, the simulation results suggest that the long-time behavior of colloidal suspensions is exactly the same as that of atomic systems. It is also shown that there exist three phase regions, a liquid phase region, a metastable phase region, and a crystal phase region, where the freezing and melting points in polydisperse case are shifted to the values higher than in monodisperse case.
