Glass transitions and shear thickening suspension rheology
C B Holmes, M E Cates, M Fuchs +1
We introduce a class of simple models for shear thickening and/ or `jamming' in colloidal suspensions. These are based on schematic mode coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transiti…
Schematic mode coupling theories for shear thinning, shear thickening, and jamming
M. E. Cates, C. B. Holmes, M. Fuchs +1
Mode coupling theory (MCT) appears to explain several, though not all, aspects of the glass transition in colloids (particularly when short-range attractions are present). Developm…
Jamming transitions in a schematic model of suspension rheology
C. B. Holmes, M. Fuchs, M. E. Cates
We study the steady-state response to applied stress in a simple scalar model of sheared colloids. Our model is based on a schematic (F2) model of the glass transition, with a memo…
Diffusive growth of polydisperse hard-sphere crystals
R. M. L. Evans, C. B. Holmes
Unlike atoms, colloidal particles are not identical, but can only be synthesised within a finite size tolerance. Colloids are therefore polydisperse, i.e. mixtures of infinitely ma…
