Evaporation-driven assembly of colloidal particles.
Colloidal particles absorbed at the interface of a liquid droplet arrange into unique packings during slow evaporation [V.N. Manoharan et al., Science 301, 483 (2003)]. We present a numerical and theoretical analysis of the packing selection problem. The selection of a unique packing arises almost entirely from geometrical constraints during the drying.

In a recent experiment by Manoharan et al. [1], a small number N of spherical particles (diameter of about one micron) located at the surface of an oil droplet self-assemble due to the evaporation of the droplet. Such process leads to final packings of spheres which are unique and, for N ≤ 11, equivalent to the minimal second moment clusters as studied by Sloane et al. [2]. Because such simple ...
متن کاملColloidal Crystals-Self-Assembly of Monodispersed Colloidal Particles-
Colloidal crystals are three-dimensionally periodic lattices assembled from monodispersed spherical colloids. The ability to crystallize spherical colloids into spatially periodic structures has enabled interesting and often useful functionality not only from the constituent colloidal particles, but also from the long-range order exhibited by these periodic structures. A variety of methods by w...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of Polyhedral Hybrid Colloidal Particles
We have developed a new method to produce hybrid particles with polyhedral shapes in very high yield (liter quantities at up to 70% purity) using a combination of emulsion polymerization and inorganic surface chemistry. The procedure has been generalized to create complex geometries, including hybrid line segments, triangles, tetrahedra, octahedra, and more. The optical properties of these part...
متن کاملHydrodynamic pair attractions between driven colloidal particles.
Colloidal spheres driven through water along a circular path by an optical ring trap display unexpected dynamical correlations. We use Stokesian dynamics simulations and a simple analytical model to demonstrate that the path's curvature breaks the symmetry of the two-body hydrodynamic interaction, resulting in particle pairing. The influence of this effective nonequilibrium attraction diminishe...
