Phase-field investigation of rod eutectic morphologies under geometrical confinement.
Three-dimensional phase-field simulations are employed to investigate rod-type eutectic growth morphologies in confined geometry. Distinct steady-state solutions are found to depend on this confinement effect with the rod array basis vectors and their included angle (α) changing to accommodate the geometrical constraint. Specific morphologies are observed, including rods of circular cross secti...
متن کاملPhase behaviour of colloidal assemblies on 2D corrugated substrates.
We investigate--using Monte Carlo computer simulations--the phase behaviour of dimeric colloidal molecules on periodic substrates with square symmetry. The molecules are formed in a two-dimensional suspension of like charged colloids subject to periodic external confinement, which can be experimentally realized by optical methods. We study the evolution of positional and orientational order by ...
متن کاملPhase behaviour of colloids in confining geometry
We review recent experimental and theoretical studies on two-dimensional (2D) melting in the presence of a one-dimensional (1D) periodic potential. It is demonstrated that a colloidal suspension which is exposed to the interference pattern of two overlapping laser beams show a phase behaviour being totally different from that of 2D systems on homogeneous substrates. This is attributed to the ro...
متن کاملDepletion-Induced Encapsulation by Dumbbell-Shaped Patchy Colloids Stabilize Microspheres against Aggregation
In this paper, we demonstrate the stabilization of polystyrene microspheres by encapsulating them with dumbbell-shaped colloids with a sticky and a nonsticky lobe. Upon adding a depletant, an effective short ranged attraction is induced between the microspheres and the smaller, smooth lobes of the dumbbells, making those specifically sticky, whereas the interaction with the larger lobes of the ...
متن کاملDumbbell-shaped epidural capillary hemangioma.
We report a case of a purely epidural capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spine with foraminal extension. Epidural hemangiomas are rare; only a few cases of dumbbell-shaped ones have been reported, and all were cavernous. MR imaging showed characteristic findings of a capillary hemangioma, which are also consistent with other epidural lesions such as neuromas or meningiomas.
