Equivalence of glass transition and colloidal glass transition in the hard-sphere limit.
We show that the slowing of the dynamics in simulations of several model glass-forming liquids is equivalent to the hard-sphere glass transition in the low-pressure limit. In this limit, we find universal behavior of the relaxation time by collapsing molecular-dynamics data for all systems studied onto a single curve as a function of T/p, the ratio of the temperature to the pressure. At higher ...
متن کاملOn polydispersity and the hard sphere glass transition.
We investigate the dynamics of polydisperse hard spheres at high packing fractions ϕ. We use extensive numerical simulations based on an experimentally-realistic particle size distribution (PSD) and compare to commonly-used PSDs such as Gaussian or top hat distribution. We find that the mode of kinetic arrest depends on the PSD's shape and not only on its variance. For the experimentally-realis...
متن کاملColloidal rotation near the colloidal glass transition.
We compare, using single-particle optical imaging, trajectories of rotation and translation for micron-sized spheres in index-matched colloidal suspensions near their glass transition. Rotational trajectories, while they show intermittent caged behavior associated with supercooled and glassy behavior, explore a sufficiently wider phase space such that in the averaged mean-square angular displac...
متن کاملLinear viscoelasticity of colloidal hard sphere suspensions near the glass transition.
The frequency-dependent viscoelastic shear modulus of concentrated suspensions of colloidal hard spheres is shown to be strongly modified as the volume fraction approaches the glass transition. The elastic or storage component, G0, becomes larger than the viscous or loss component, G00. The frequency dependence of G0 develops a plateau while that of G00 develops a minimum. We propose a physical...
متن کاملThe nature of the colloidal 'glass' transition.
The dynamically arrested state of matter is discussed in the context of athermal systems, such as the hard sphere colloidal arrest. We believe that the singular dynamical behaviour near arrest expressed, for example, in how the diffusion constant vanishes may be 'universal', in a sense to be discussed in the paper. Based on this we argue the merits of studying the problem with simple lattice mo...
