Dynamics of a colloid-stabilized cream

E. M. Herzig, A. Robert, D. D. van 't Zand +3

We use x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of a high volume fraction emulsion creaming under gravity. The dodecane-in-water emulsion has interfaces st…

Static and dynamic properties of a reversible gel

Pablo I. Hurtado, Pinaki Chaudhuri, Ludovic Berthier +1

We study a microscopically realistic model of a physical gel and use computer simulations to investigate its static and dynamic properties at thermal equilibrium. The phase diagram…

Resolving long-range spatial correlations in jammed colloidal systems using photon correlation imaging

Agnes Duri, David A. Sessoms, Veronique Trappe +1

We introduce a new dynamic light scattering method, termed photon correlation imaging, which enables us to resolve the dynamics of soft matter in space and time. We demonstrate pho…

Copolymer-induced stabilizing effect of highly swollen hexagonal mesophases

Laurence Ramos, Christian Ligoure

We show quantitatively that tiny amounts of copolymer that decorate a oil/water interfaces can greatly enhance the stability of swollen surfactant hexagonal phases, comprising oil…

Direct-space investigation of the ultraslow ballistic dynamics of a soft glass

Sylvain Mazoyer, Luca Cipelletti, Laurence Ramos

We use light microscopy to investigate the aging dynamics of a glass made of closely packed soft spheres, following a rapid transition from a fluid to a solid-like state. By measur…

Probing the equilibrium dynamics of colloidal hard spheres above the mode-coupling glass transition

Giovanni Brambilla, Djamel El Masri, Matteo Pierno +4

We use dynamic light scattering and computer simulations to study equilibrium dynamics and dynamic heterogeneity in concentrated suspensions of colloidal hard spheres. Our study co…

Coupling/decoupling between translational and rotational dynamics in a supercooled molecular liquid

Song-Ho Chong, Walter Kob

We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to investigate the coupling/decoupling between translational and rotational dynamics in a glass-forming liquid of dumbbells. This is…

Unexpected drop of dynamical heterogeneities in colloidal suspensions approaching the jamming transition

Pierre Ballesta, Agnes Duri, Luca Cipelletti

As the glass (in molecular fluids\cite{Donth}) or the jamming (in colloids and grains\cite{LiuNature1998}) transitions are approached, the dynamics slow down dramatically with no m…

Structure and rheological properties of model microemulsion networks filled with nanoparticles

Nicolas Puech, Serge Mora, Vincent Testard +5

Model microemulsion networks of oil droplets stabilized by non ionic surfactant and telechelic polymer C18-PEO(10k)-C18 have been studied for two droplet-to-polymer size ratios. Th…

Critical Dopant Concentration in Polyacetylene and Phase Diagram from a Continuous Four-Fermi Model

Heron Caldas, Jean-Loic Kneur, Marcus B. Pinto +1

The Optimized Perturbation Theory (OPT) method, at finite temperature and finite chemical potential, is applied to the field theory model for polyacetylene. The critical dopant con…

Evidence for a disorder driven phase transition in the condensation of 4He in aerogels

Fabien Bonnet, Thierry Lambert, Benjamin Cross +4

We report on thermodynamic and optical measurements of the condensation process of He in three silica aerogels of different microstructures. For the two base-catalysed aerogels…

A random walk description of the heterogeneous glassy dynamics of attracting colloids

Pinaki Chaudhuri, Yongxiang Gao, Ludovic Berthier +2

We study the heterogeneous dynamics of attractive colloidal particles close to the gel transition using confocal microscopy experiments combined with a theoretical statistical anal…
