Polydisperse mixtures are those in which components with a whole range of
sizes are present. It is shown that the fluid phase of polydisperse hard
spheres is thermodynamically unstable unless the density of large spheres
decreases at least exponentially as their size increases. The instability is
with respect to the large spheres crystallising out into multiple solid phases.
