Light scattering at the liquid to glass transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light scattering in a viscoelastic liquid is studied. The change from liquid to solid-like Brillouin spectra is explained using frequency dependent elasto-optic constants. Within a standard dielectric model microscopic formulas for these generalized frequency dependent constants and the spectra are obtained. The phenomenological pictures of light scattering in an amorphous solid and in a liquid are obtained as high and low frequency limits. The observation of a Rytov Dip in a system of optically isotropic particles is predicted for slow enough viscoelastic relaxation. Approximations using the Mode Coupling Theory allow the spectra to be expressed in terms of density fluctuations alone. The predictions of this theory for the spectra are discussed.

Hard sphere-like glass transition in eye lens α-crystallin solutions.
We study the equilibrium liquid structure and dynamics of dilute and concentrated bovine eye lens α-crystallin solutions, using small-angle X-ray scattering, static and dynamic light scattering, viscometry, molecular dynamics simulations, and mode-coupling theory. We find that a polydisperse Percus-Yevick hard-sphere liquid-structure model accurately reproduces both static light scattering data...

Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of Kob-Anderson binary Lennard-Jones (BLJ) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. The presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...
متن کاملEffect of colloidal Particles associated with the liquid bridge in sticking during drying in Superheated Steam
It is very important in the design of a drying system is to evaluate sticking behaviour of the materials goes under drying. A new approach to the sticking issue is applied in this study by carrying out a sticking test for the liquid associated with the materials under study. It was found that the liquid bridge is responsible of the initial sticking of the materials to the contact surface and th...
متن کاملEmulsion glasses: A dynamic light-scattering study
A liquid-glass transition was observed experimentally in a new system, an oil-in-water emulsion. Dynamic light scattering was employed to obtain the intermediate scattering function f(q,t) for a range of volume fractions f and scattering vectors q. The results are compared with predictions of the mode coupling theory. While the usual idealized version of the theory provides accurate fits to the...
