Trapping colloids near chemical stripes via critical Casimir forces
Matthias Tröndle, Olga Zvyagolskaya, Andrea Gambassi +4
We study theoretically and experimentally the solvent-mediated critical Casimir force acting on colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture of water and 2,6-lutidine an…
Critical Casimir forces steered by patterned substrates
Andrea Gambassi, S. Dietrich
Among the various kinds of effective forces in soft matter, the spatial range and the direction of the so-called critical Casimir force - which is generated by the enhanced thermal…
Colloidal aggregation and critical Casimir forces
Andrea Gambassi, S. Dietrich
A recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 156101 (2009)] reports the experimental observation of aggregation of colloidal particles dispersed in a liquid mixture of heavy water and 3-…
Critical Casimir effect for colloids close to chemically patterned substrates
M. Tröndle, S. Kondrat, A. Gambassi +2
Colloids immersed in a critical or near-critical binary liquid mixture and close to a chemically patterned substrate are subject to normal and lateral critical Casimir forces of do…
