Rotational Diffusion in a Chain of Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the coupled rotational diffusion in a two-particle chain on the basis of a Smoluchowski equation and calculate time-correlation functions that are measurable in an experiment. This might be used to explore hydrodynamic interactions in the limit where lubrication theory is valid. PACS numbers: 05.45.Xt, 47.15.Gf, 47.85.Np, 82.70.Dd, 82.60.Yz

Decoupling of translational and rotational diffusion in quasi-2D colloidal fluids.
We observe the translational and rotational diffusion of dimer tracer particles in quasi-2D colloidal samples. The dimers are in dense samples of two different sizes of spherical colloidal particles, with the area fraction ϕ of the particles varying from dilute to nearly glassy. At low ϕ, rotational and translational diffusion have a ratio set by the dimer size, as expected. At higher ϕ, dimers...
متن کاملSuppressing rotational diffusion of Janus particles by surface modifications for directed thermophoretic motion
Here, the influence of various surface modifications on self-propelled motion of laser-heated goldcapped Janus particles is investigated. Wide-field laser heating of the gold hemisphere induces an asymmetric temperature profile around the particles resulting in thermophoretic self-propulsion [1]. Besides the desired directed translational motion also rotational diffusion of the Janus particles ...
متن کاملRotational diffusion measurements of suspended colloidal particles using two-dimensional exchange nuclear magnetic resonance
We present here an experimental and theoretical study of the application of two-dimensional exchange nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ~NMR! to the investigation of the rotational diffusion of colloidal particles. The theoretical discussion includes the nature of the NMR frequency time-correlation function where the NMR interaction is represented by the chemical shift anisotropy ~CSA!. Ti...
