Long-time translational self-diffusion in isotropic and nematic dispersions of colloidal rods
Long-time self-diffusion in dispersions of rigid colloidal rods with an aspect ratio of 19 is studied with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching ~FRAP! in isotropic and nematic phases. The long-time selfdiffusion coefficient Ds L is found to decrease linearly with concentration up to (L/D)f50.12 ~with L the length and D the diameter of the rods, and f the volume fraction!. In the isotropic...
متن کاملDiffusion of spheres in isotropic and nematic suspensions of rods.
Diffusion of a small tracer sphere (apoferritin) in isotropic and nematic networks [of fd virus] is discussed. For a tracer sphere that is smaller than the mesh size of the network, screened hydrodynamic interactions between the sphere and the network determine its diffusion coefficient. A theory is developed for such interactions as well as their relation to the long-time self-diffusion coeffi...
متن کاملAnisotropic diffusion in confined colloidal dispersions: the evanescent diffusivity.
We employ an analogy to traditional dynamic light scattering to describe the inhomogeneous and anisotropic diffusion of colloid particles near a solid boundary measured via evanescent wave dynamic light scattering. Following this approach, we generate new expressions for the short-time self- and collective diffusivities of colloidal dispersions with arbitrary volume fraction. We use these expre...
متن کاملTheory of the isotropic-nematic transition in dispersions of compressible rods.
We theoretically study the nematic ordering transition of rods that are able to elastically adjust their mutually excluded volumes. The model rods, which consist of a hard core surrounded by a deformable shell, mimic the structure of polymer-coated, rodlike fd virus particles that have recently been the object of experimental study [K. Purdy, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 057801 (2005)]. We find that fl...
متن کاملCondensation and dissolution of nematic droplets in dispersions of colloidal rods with thermo–sensitive depletants
Nematic droplets are droplets composed of elongated molecules that tend to point in the same direction but do not have any positional order. Such droplets are well known to adopt a spindle shape called tactoid. How such droplets condensate or melt and how the orientational symmetry is broken remains however unclear. Here we use a colloidal system composed of filamentous viruses as model rod-lik...
