Attraction between like - charged colloidal particles induced by a surface : a density - functional analysis
We show that the first non-linear correction to the linearised PoissonBoltzman n (or DLVO) theory of effective pair interactions between chargestabilised, co lloidal particles near a charged wall leads to an attractive component of entro pic origin. The position and depth of the potential compare favourably with rec ent experimental measurements 82.70.Dd;64.10th;83.20Di Typeset using REVTEX 1 R...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive colloidal phase behavior induced by critical Casimir forces.
We report Monte Carlo simulations of phase behavior of colloidal suspensions with near-critical binary solvents using effective pair potentials from experiments. At off-critical solvent composition, the calculated phase diagram agrees well with measurements of the experimental system, indicating that many-body effects are limited. Close to the critical composition, however, agreement between ex...
متن کاملUnidirectional Crystallization of Charged Colloidal Silica under Temperature Gradient
Submicron-sized charged colloidal particles self-assemble into “crystal” structures in an aqueous medium due to long-range electrostatic interparticle interaction. Since colloidal crystals usually have a Bragg wavelength in the visible-light regime, they have attracted considerable attention as photonic materials. Here, we describe our recent study on the novel crystallization of charged colloi...
متن کاملAssembly of colloidal semiconductor nanorods in solution by depletion attraction.
Arranging anisotropic nanoparticles into ordered assemblies remains a challenging quest requiring innovative and ingenuous approaches. The variety of interactions present in colloidal solutions of nonspherical inorganic nanocrystals can be exploited for this purpose. By tuning depletion attraction forces between hydrophobic colloidal nanorods of semiconductors, dispersed in an organic solvent, ...
متن کاملAging in attraction-driven colloidal glasses.
Aging in an attraction-driven colloidal glass is studied by computer simulations. The system is equilibrated without attraction and instantaneously "quenched," at constant colloid volume fraction, to one of two states beyond the glass transition; one is close to the transition, and the other one deep in the glass. The evolution of structural properties shows that bonds form in the system, incre...
