Using large scale numerical simulations, we examine the ordering of colloidalparticles on square periodic two-dimensional muffin-tin substrates consistingof a flat surface with localized pinning sites. We show that when there arefour particles per pinning site, the particles adopt a hexagonal ordering,while for five particles per pinning site, a square ordering appears. Forfillings between four and five particles per pinning site, we identify a richvariety of distinct ordering regimes, including disordered grain boundaries,crystalline stripe structures, superlattice orderings, and disordered patchyarrangements. We characterize the different regimes using Voronoi analysis,energy dispersion, and ordering of the domains. We show that many of theboundary formation features we observe occur for a wide range of otherfillings. Our results demonstrate that grain boundary tailoring can be achievedwith muffin-tin periodic pinning substrates.
