Phason-induced dynamics of colloidal particles on quasicrystalline substrates.
Phasons are special hydrodynamic modes that occur in quasicrystals. The trajectories of particles due to a phasonic drift were recently studied by Kromer et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 218301 (2012)) for the case where the particles stay in the minima of a quasicrystalline potential. Here, we study the mean motion of colloidal particles in quasicrystalline laser fields when a phasonic drift or d...
متن کاملOn Irreversible Deposition on Disordered Substrates
A number of processes in physics, chemistry and biology may be modelled by random sequential adsorption (RSA) on a lattice [1]. In this model, particles arrive randomly and adsorb irreversibly unless they are in the exclusion zone of previously adsorbed particles. In an arbitrary dimension, RSA processes reach a jamming configuration, where further adsorption events are impossible. The final co...
متن کاملElectrochemical ostwald ripening of colloidal ag particles on conductive substrates.
Thermally evaporated silver nanoparticles on conducting substrates spontaneously evolve in size when immersed in pure water. The process was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and optical absorption spectroscopy. The particles are proposed to reform through an electrochemical Ostwald ripening mechanism driven by the size dependence of the w...
متن کاملEntropic Confinement of Colloidal Spheres in Corners on Silicon Substrates
We have investigated depletion effects among dispersed, submicron, polystyrene spheres of two different sizes near a faceted silicon substrate. The larger spheres were confined to the corners where two silicon facets intersected (as where a wall meets a floor). The entropic confinement potential increased by 1.2kBT when the small-sphere volume fraction was increased by 14% to 0.37. Large-sphere...
متن کاملPhase behaviour of colloidal assemblies on 2D corrugated substrates.
We investigate--using Monte Carlo computer simulations--the phase behaviour of dimeric colloidal molecules on periodic substrates with square symmetry. The molecules are formed in a two-dimensional suspension of like charged colloids subject to periodic external confinement, which can be experimentally realized by optical methods. We study the evolution of positional and orientational order by ...
