Equilibrium cluster formation and gelation
We study the formation and growth of equilibrium clusters in a suspension of weakly-charged colloidal particles and small non-adsorbing polymers. The effective potential is characterised by a short-range attraction and a long-range repulsion. The size, shape and local structure of the clusters are studied using three-dimensional particle microscopy. We observe a rapid growth in the mean cluster...
متن کاملEquilibrium Star Cluster Formation
We argue that rich star clusters take at least several local dynamical times to form, and so are quasi-equilibrium structures during their assembly. Observations supporting this conclusion include morphologies of star-forming clumps, momentum flux of protostellar outflows from forming clusters, age spreads of stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) and other clusters, and the age of a dynamical...
متن کاملGelation and Cluster Growth with Cluster-Wall Interactions
where A > 0 and where ck denotes the concentration of the k th cluster and p denotes the concentration of reactive sites available within the polymer matrix for reaction with metallic atoms. The initial conditions are required to be nonnegative and satisfy XJL \ j i ' j ( 0 ) = 1 and p(0) = p0. We assume that Rjk = [dj"k" + (j + k)(j" + k")]/((l + j + k) for 0 < a < l , which encompasses both b...
متن کاملDense cluster formation during aggregation and gelation of attractive slippery nanoemulsion droplets.
Using time-resolved small angle neutron scattering, we have measured the wave-number-dependent structure factor S(q) of monodisperse nanoemulsions that aggregate and gel after we suddenly turn on a strong, short-range, slippery attraction between the droplets. At high q, peaks in S(q) appear as dense clusters of droplets form, and S(q) increases strongly toward low q, as these dense clusters be...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium gelation transition in a kinetic lattice gas model
– We consider a lattice gas model which in addition to the canonical nearest neighbor pair interatomic interaction accounts for a many-body interaction inside atomic trios. Interactions of this kind arise in the coherent strained epitaxy and were recently used by us to describe some surface phenomena. With the use of the Monte Carlo simulation we show that in two dimensions the model at low tem...
