Polymorph Selection in Charged Colloids in the Second Nucleation Step
C. Patrick Royall
We study polymorph selection in a model of charged colloids, with a focus on the higher-order structure prior to and during nucleation. Specifically, we carry out molecular dynamic…
Colloidoscope: Detecting Dense Colloids in 3d with Deep Learning
Abdelwahab Kawafi, Lars Kürten, Levke Ortlieb +4
Colloidoscope is a deep learning pipeline employing a 3D residual Unet architecture, designed to enhance the tracking of dense colloidal suspensions through confocal microscopy. Th…
Yielding in colloidal gels: from local structure to meso-scale strand breakage and macroscopic failure
Himangsu Bhaumik, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, C. Patrick Royall +1
We study creep flow and yielding of particulate depletion gels under constant shear stress, combining data on different length and time scales. We characterise the breakage of meso…
Identification and classification of clusters of dipolar colloids in an external field
Katherine Skipper, Fergus J. Moore, C. Patrick Royall
Colloids can acquire a dipolar interaction in the presence of an external electric field. At high field strength, the particles form strings in the field direction. However at weak…
Traveling strings of active dipolar colloids
Xichen Chao, Katherine Skipper, C. Patrick Royall +2
We study an intriguing new type of self-assembled active colloidal polymer system in 3D. It is obtained from a suspension of Janus particles in an electric field that induces paral…
Colloidal Hard Spheres: Triumphs, Challenges and Mysteries
C. Patrick Royall, Patrick Charbonneau, Marjolein Dijkstra +4
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static an…
