Stripes, zigzags, and slow dynamics in buckled hard spheres.
We study the analogy between buckled colloidal monolayers and the triangular-lattice Ising antiferromagnet. We calculate free-volume-induced Ising interactions, show how lattice deformations favor zigzag stripes that partially remove the Ising model ground-state degeneracy, and identify the martensitic mechanism prohibiting perfect stripes. Slowly inflating the spheres yields jamming as well as...
متن کاملAging and ultra-slow equilibration in concentrated colloidal hard spheres
We study the dynamic behaviour of concentrated colloidal hard spheres using Time Resolved Correlation, a light scattering technique that can detect the slow evolution of the dynamics in out-of-equilibrium systems. Surprisingly, equilibrium is reached a very long time after sample initialization, the non-stationary regime lasting up to three orders of magnitude more than the relaxation time of t...

متن کاملSlow dynamics of equilibrium density fluctuations in suspensions of colloidal hard spheres near the glass transition
A mean-field theory for the dynamics of equilibrium suspensions of colloidal hard spheres near the glass transition is presented based on the standpoint recently proposed by the present author. It is shown that although the relative magnitude of the density fluctuations to the mean equilibrium density is small even near the glass transition, they are described by a nonlinear stochastic equation...
متن کاملEvent-driven Brownian dynamics for hard spheres.
Brownian dynamics algorithms integrate Langevin equations numerically and allow to probe long time scales in simulations. A common requirement for such algorithms is that interactions in the system should vary little during an integration time step; therefore, computational efficiency worsens as the interactions become steeper. In the extreme case of hard-body interactions, standard numerical i...
