Kinetics of isotropic to string-like phase switching in electrorheological fluids of nanocubes

Luca Tonti, Fabián Alonso García Daza, Alessandro Patti

Applying an electric field to polarisable colloidal particles, whose permittivity differs from that of the dispersing medium, generates induced dipoles that promote the formation o…

Active microrheology of colloidal suspensions of hard cuboids

Effran Mirzad Rafael, Luca Tonti, Fabián A. García Daza +1

By performing dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the microrheology of isotropic suspensions of hard-core colloidal cuboids. In particular, we infer the local viscoelas…
