Slow dynamics in glasses, gels and foams
Slow dynamics and aging effects in disordered, out-of-equilibrium systems are a rich and fascinating topic, yet still poorly understood. Recent developments in light scattering methods, such as the multispeckle technique, combined with new theoretical approaches that underline the analogies between different glassy materials are bringing a better understanding of these phenomena. 2002 Elsevier ...
متن کاملColloidal Particles: Crystals, Glasses, and Gels
Colloidal particles aremicroscopic solid particles suspended in a fluid. Colloids are small enough that thermal energy drives their dynamics and ensures equilibrationwith the suspending fluid; they are also large enough that their positions andmotions can bemeasured precisely using optical methods, such as light scattering and laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Colloidal suspensio...
متن کاملStatic and dynamic heterogeneities in irreversible gels and colloidal gelation
We compare the slow dynamics of irreversible gels, colloidal gels, glasses and spin glasses by analyzing the behavior of the so called non-linear dynamical susceptibility, a quantity usually introduced to quantitatively characterize the dynamical heterogeneities. In glasses this quantity typically grows with the time, reaches a maximum and then decreases at large time, due to the transient natu...
متن کاملSlow dynamics in glasses
We will review some of the theoretical progresses that have been recently done in the study of slow dynamics of glassy systems: the general techniques used for studying the dynamics in the mean field approximation and the emergence of a pure dynamical transition in some of these systems. We show how the results obtained for a random Hamiltonian may be also applied to a given Hamiltonian. These ...
متن کاملAging of rotational diffusion in colloidal gels and glasses.
We study the rotational diffusion of aging Laponite suspensions for a wide range of concentrations using depolarized dynamic light scattering. The measured orientational correlation functions undergo an ergodic to nonergodic transition that is characterized by a concentration-dependent ergodicity-breaking time. We find that the relaxation times associated with rotational degree of freedom as a ...
