Phase behavior of thermoresponsive colloids drives re-entrant plasmon coupling

Angela Capocefalo, Francesco Brasili, Javier Pérez +8

Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) integrated within thermoresponsive polymeric microgels provide a versatile platform for the realization of stimuli-responsive optical materials, where…

Disconnected Glass-Glass Transitions and Diffusion Anomalies in a Model with two Repulsive Length Scales

Matthias Sperl, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Francesco Sciortino +2

Building on mode-coupling-theory calculations, we report a novel scenario for multiple glass transitions in a purely repulsive spherical potential: the square-shoulder. The liquid-…

Gelation as arrested phase separation in short-ranged attractive colloid-polymer mixtures

Emanuela Zaccarelli, Peter J. Lu, Fabio Ciulla +2

We present further evidence that gelation is an arrested phase separation in attractive colloid-polymer mixtures, based on a method combining confocal microscopy experiments with n…

Kinetic Arrest in Polyion-Induced Inhomogeneously-Charged Colloidal Particle Aggregation

D. Truzzolillo, F. Bordi, F. Sciortino +1

Polymer chains adsorbed onto oppositely charged spherical colloidal particles can significantly modify the particle-particle interactions. For sufficient amounts of added polymers,…

Modeling Equilibrium Clusters in Lysozyme Solutions

Frédéric Cardinaux, Anna Stradner, Peter Schurtenberger +2

We present a combined experimental and numerical study of the equilibrium cluster formation in globular protein solutions under no-added salt conditions. We show that a cluster pha…

Non-Gaussian energy landscape of a simple model for strong network-forming liquids: accurate evaluation of the configurational entropy

A. J. Moreno, I. Saika-Voivod, E. Zaccarelli +4

We present a numerical study of the statistical properties of the potential energy landscape of a simple model for strong network-forming liquids. The model is a system of spherica…
