Effective charge saturation in colloidal suspensions
Because micro-ions accumulate around highly charged colloidal particles in electrolyte solutions, the relevant parameter to compute their interactions is not the bare charge, but an effective ~or renormalized! quantity, whose value is sensitive to the geometry of the colloid, the temperature or the presence of added-salt. This nonlinear screening effect is a central feature in the field of coll...
متن کاملEffective Interactions and Volume Energies in Charge-Stabilized Colloidal Suspensions
Charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions can be conveniently described by formally reducing the macroion-microion mixture to an equivalent one-component system of pseudo-particles. Within this scheme, the utility of a linear response approximation for deriving effective interparticle interactions has been demonstrated [M. J. Grimson and M. Silbert, Mol. Phys. 74, 397 (1991)]. Here the response a...
متن کاملEffective charge of colloidal particles.
A new dynamical definition of the effective colloidal charge, especially suitable for the Monte Carlo and Molecular-dynamics simulations, is proposed. It is shown that for aqueous colloidal suspensions containing monovalent counterions the "dynamical" effective charge agrees perfectly with the "statistical" effective charge calculated using the Alexander prescription. In the case of multivalent...
متن کاملMelting of metastable crystallites in charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions.
We use low-frequency electrophoresis to crystallize monodisperse charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. Rather than reverting directly to their equilibrium fluid state when the field is removed, some suspensions retain long-lived metastable crystallites whose evolution we track using highresolution digital video microscopy. To quantify the decay of order in this system we introduce an empiric...
متن کاملShort–time rotational diffusion in monodisperse charge–stabilized colloidal suspensions
We investigate the combined effects of electrostatic interactions and hydrodynamic interactions (HI) on the short–time rotational self– diffusion coefficient Dr s in charge–stabilized suspensions. We calculate Dr s as a function of volume fraction φ for various effective particle charges and various amounts of added electrolyte. The influence of HI is taken into account by a series expansion of...
