Polydisperse fluid mixtures of adhesive colloidal particles
We investigate polydispersity effects on the average structure factor of colloidal suspensions of neutral particles with surface adhesion. A sticky hard sphere model alternative to Baxter’s one is considered. The choice of factorizable stickiness parameters in the potential allows a simple analytic solution, within the “mean spherical approximation”, for any number of components and arbitrary s...
متن کاملStability boundaries, percolation threshold, and two-phase coexistence for polydisperse fluids of adhesive colloidal particles.
We study the polydisperse Baxter model of sticky hard spheres (SHS) in the modified mean spherical approximation (mMSA). This closure is known to be the zero-order approximation C0 of the Percus-Yevick closure in a density expansion. The simplicity of the closure allows a full analytical study of the model. In particular we study stability boundaries, the percolation threshold, and the gas-liqu...
متن کاملThermodynamic properties of polydisperse fluid mixtures
We present a systematic study of the thermodynamic properties of a polydisperse fluid mixture. The size of the particles, σ , is assumed to be distributed according to a continuous distribution function fΣ(σ) , for which we have chosen a Γ -distribution. The interatomic potentials are given by a hard core repulsion plus an adjacent attractive tail in the form of a squarewell or a Yukawa potenti...
متن کاملCrystallization kinetics of polydisperse colloidal hard spheres. II. Binary mixtures.
In this paper we present measurements of the crystallization kinetics of binary mixtures of two different sized hard sphere particles. The growth of the Bragg reflections over time were analyzed to yield the crystallite scattering vector, the total amount of crystal, and the average linear crystal size. It was observed that a particle size distribution skewed to higher sized particles has a les...
متن کاملIncompressibility of polydisperse random-close-packed colloidal particles.
We use confocal microscopy to study the compressibility of a random-close-packed sample of colloidal particles. To do this, we introduce an algorithm to estimate the size of each particle. Taking into account their sizes, we compute the compressibility of the sample as a function of wave vector q, and find that this compressibility vanishes linearly as q→0, showing that the packing structure is...
