Specialized Monte Carlo simulation techniques and moment free energy method calculations, capable of treating fractionation exactly, are deployed to study the crystalline phase behaviour of an assembly of spherical particles described by a top-hat parent distribution of particle sizes. An increase in either the overall density or the degree of polydispersity is shown to generate a succession of phase transitions in which the system demixes into an ever greater number of face-centred cubic daughter phases. Each of these phases is strongly fractionated: it contains a much narrower distribution of particle sizes than is present in the system overall. Certain of the demixing transitions are found to be nearly continuous, accompanied by fluctuations in local particle size correlated over many lattice spacings. We explore possible factors controlling the stability of the phases and the character of the demixing transitions.
