M ay 2 00 1 Field - induced structure transformation in electrorheological solids
We have computed the local electric field in a body-centered tetragonal (BCT) lattice of point dipoles via the Ewald-Kornfeld formulation, in an attempt to examine the effects of a structure transformation on the local field strength. For the ground state of an electrorheological solid of hard spheres, we identified a novel structure transformation from the BCT to the face-centered cubic (FCC) ...
متن کاملNonlinear alternating current responses of electrorheological solids.
When a composite containing nonlinear dielectric particles suspended in a host medium is subjected to a sinusoidal alternating current (ac) electric field, the dielectric response of the composite will generally consist of ac fields at frequencies of higher order harmonics. For an electrorheological (ER) solid under structure transformations due to external fields, we apply the Ewald-Kornfeld f...
متن کاملAC electrokinetics of the microparticles in electrorheological solids
Under the application of electric fields, the structure of electrorheological (ER) solids can be changed from the body-centered tetragonal lattice (ground state) to other lattices. For a particle in the lattice, we derive its dipole factor by taking into account both the local-field effect arising from all the other particles and the multipolar interaction between two touching particles, throug...
متن کاملInterparticle force in electrorheological solids: many-body dipole-induced dipole model.
One often investigates electrorheological (ER) solids by using the point-dipole (PD) approximation, which, however, is known to err considerably for touching particles due to the existence of many-body (local-field) effects and multipolar interactions. Beyond the PD model, previous attempts have been restricted to either local-field effects only or multipolar interactions only, but not both. In...
متن کاملStructure of electrorheological fluids
Specially synthesized silica colloidal spheres with fluorescent cores were used as model electrorheological fluids to experimentally explore structure formation and evolution under conditions of no shear. Using Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy we measured the location of each colloid in three dimensions. We observed an equilibrium body-centered tetragonal phase and several non-equilibrium str...
