Phase Behaviour of Colloidal Systems
torting the helical structure of the phase) and the nematic phase develops when the equilibrium pitch of the cholesteric phase becomes larger than the sample thick ness. This transition is first order and can easily be observed when approaching a smectic phase, because the cholesteric pitch diverges at this transition. In this way, it is possible to observe the growth of the cholesteric phase ...
متن کاملSound propagation in colloidal systems
We study the propagation of sound in complex colloidal systems. By combining Biillouin scattering with ultrasonic techniques, we measure the dispersion in the acoustic propagation over three decades in frequency. Acoustic propagation is sensitive to the bulk compressibility of the medium, and probes new structural and dynamic properties of the colloidal system. We study two colloidal systems. T...
متن کاملCharge inversion in colloidal systems
We investigate spherical macroions in the strong Coulomb coupling regime within the primitive model in salt-free environment. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to elucidate the effect of discrete macroion charge distribution on charge inversion. A systematic comparison is made with the charge inversion obtained in the conventional continuous charge distribution. Furthermore the effec...
متن کاملDensity functional theory of charged colloidal systems.
The phase behavior of charged colloidal systems has been studied recently by the density functional theory formalism (DFT) [R. van Roij, M. Dijkstra, and J. P. Hansen, Phys. Rev. E 59, 2010 (1999)]. A key feature of this approach is the appearance of a density and temperature-dependent effective Hamiltonian between the charged colloids. Under certain approximations, the effective Hamiltonian is...
متن کاملStrong electrostatic interactions in spherical colloidal systems.
We investigate spherical macroions in the strong Coulomb coupling regime within the primitive model in salt-free environment. We first show that the ground state of an isolated colloid is naturally overcharged by simple electrostatic arguments illustrated by the Gillespie rule. We furthermore demonstrate that in the strong Coulomb coupling this mechanism leads to ionized states and thus to long...
