Rigid sphere transport through a colloidal gas–liquid interface
In this paper we report on the gravity-driven transport of rigid spheres of various sizes through the fluid–fluid interface of a demixed colloid–polymer mixture. Three consecutive stages can be distinguished: (i) the sphere approaches the interface by sedimenting through the polymer-rich phase, (ii) it is subsequently transported to the colloid-rich phase and (iii) it moves away from the interf...
متن کاملColloidal transport through optical tweezer arrays.
Viscously damped particles driven past an evenly spaced array of potential energy wells or barriers may become kinetically locked in to the array, or else may escape from the array. The transition between locked-in and free-running states has been predicted to depend sensitively on the ratio between the particles' size and the separation between wells. This prediction is confirmed by measuremen...
متن کاملEnumerating Rigid Sphere Packings
Packing problems, which ask how to arrange a collection of objects in space to meet certain criteria, are important in a great many physical and biological systems, where geometrical arrangements at small scales control behavior at larger ones. In many systems there is no single, optimal packing that dominates, but rather one must understand the entire set of possible packings. As a step in thi...
متن کاملStiffness of the crystal-liquid interface in a hard-sphere colloidal system measured from capillary fluctuations.
Face-centered cubic single crystals of σ=1.55 μm diameter hard-sphere silica colloidal particles were prepared by sedimentation onto (100) and (110) oriented templates. The crystals had a wide interface with the overlaying liquid that was parallel to the template. The location of the interface was determined by confocal microscopic location of the particles, followed by identification of the cr...
متن کاملDynamics and vibration analysis of the interface between a non-rigid sphere and omnidirectional wheel actuators
This paper presents analysis of the dynamics and vibration of an orientation motion platform utilizing a sphere actuated by omnidirectional wheels. The purpose of the analysis is to serve as a design tool for the construction of a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform with unlimited rotational motion. The equations of motion are presented taking flexibility of the system into account. The behav...
