Colloidal gels: equilibrium and non-equilibrium routes
We attempt a classification of different colloidal gels based on colloidcolloid interactions. We discriminate primarily between non-equilibrium and equilibrium routes to gelation, the former case being slaved to thermodynamic phase separation while the latter is individuated in the framework of competing interactions and of patchy colloids. Emphasis is put on recent numerical simulations of col...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium dynamics of magnetically anisotropic particles under oscillating fields.
In this article, we demonstrate how magnetic anisotropy of colloidal particles can give rise to unusual dynamics and controllable rearrangements under time-dependent fields. As an example, we study spherical particles with a radially off-centered net magnetic moment in an oscillating field. Based on complementary data from a numerical simulation of spheres with shifted dipole and experimental o...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Work Relations
This is a brief review of recently derived relations describing the behaviour of systems far from equilibrium. They include the Fluctuation Theorem, Jarzynski’s and Crooks’ equalities, and an extended form of the Second Principle for general steady states. They are very general and their proofs are, in most cases, disconcertingly simple.
متن کاملAnisotropic colloidal particles interacting with polymers in a good solvent.
We study the consequences of chain self-avoidance for the interaction between nonadsorbing polymers and colloidal particles of anisotropic shape, such as ellipsoids, lenses, and dumbbells. In the framework of a field theoretic operator expansion for small mesoscopic particles, we obtain exact results for self-avoiding polymers in d=2 spatial dimensions and we compare ideal and self-avoiding pol...
متن کاملTrapping of interacting propelled colloidal particles in inhomogeneous media.
A trapping mechanism for propelled colloidal particles based on an inhomogeneous drive is presented and studied by means of computer simulations. In experiments this method can be realized using photophoretic Janus particles driven by a light source, which is partially blocked by a shading mask. This leads to an accumulation of particles in the passive part. An equation for an accumulation para...
