Melting of polydisperse colloidal crystals in nonequilibrium.
The influence of a time-dependent oscillatory external field on the melting transition of a polydisperse colloidal crystal is examined by theory and computer simulation. In a monodisperse crystal the field just induces an overall dynamical mode which does not affect the melting line. For a polydisperse sample, on the other hand, the field shifts the melting line towards smaller temperatures. Co...
متن کاملOn the stability of polydisperse colloidal crystals
2014 The recently developed density functional theory of freezing is applied to an investigation of the mechanical and thermodynamic stability of polydisperse colloidal crystals. The colloidal particles are modelled by hard spheres with a continuous distribution p(03C3) of additive diameters. It is shown that such solid solutions cease to be stable beyond a critical degree of polydispersity, wh...
متن کاملPolydisperse fluid mixtures of adhesive colloidal particles
We investigate polydispersity effects on the average structure factor of colloidal suspensions of neutral particles with surface adhesion. A sticky hard sphere model alternative to Baxter’s one is considered. The choice of factorizable stickiness parameters in the potential allows a simple analytic solution, within the “mean spherical approximation”, for any number of components and arbitrary s...
متن کاملSize-selective colloidal-gold localization in transmission X-ray microscopy.
Colloidal gold is a useful marker for functional-imaging experiments in transmission X-ray microscopy. Due to the low contrast of gold particles with small diameters it is necessary to develop a powerful algorithm to localize the single gold particles. The presented image-analysis algorithm for identifying colloidal gold particles is based on the combination of a threshold with respect to the l...
متن کاملNumerical study of freezing in polydisperse colloidal suspensions
We have established the solid–fluid coexistence region for a system of polydisperse hard spheres with near-Gaussian diameter distributions, as a function of polydispersity. Significantly, we observe a ‘terminal’ polydispersity above which there can be no fluid–solid coexistence. At the terminus the polydispersity is 5.7% for the solid and 11.8% for the fluid while the volume fractions are 0.588...
