Flexible confinement leads to multiple relaxation regimes in glassy colloidal liquids
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Paul Bartlettl +2
Understanding relaxation of supercooled fluids is a major challenge and confining such systems can lead to bewildering behaviour. Here we exploit an optically confined colloidal mo…
Transmission of torque at the nanoscale
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Thomas Speck +3
In macroscopic mechanical devices torque is transmitted through gearwheels and clutches. In the construction of devices at the nanoscale, torque and its transmission through soft m…
Composition inversion in mixtures of binary colloids and polymer
Isla Zhang, Rattachai Pinchaipat, Nigel B. Wilding +4
Understanding the phase behaviour of mixtures continues to pose challenges, even for systems that might be considered "simple". Here we consider a very simple mixture of two colloi…
Charge regulation of nonpolar colloids
James Hallett, David Gillespie, Robert Richardson +1
Individual colloids often carry a charge as a result of the dissociation (or adsorption) of weakly-ionized surface groups. The magnitude depends on the precise chemical environment…
Non-additivity of pair interactions in charged colloids
Samuel D. Finlayson, Paul Bartlett
It is general wisdom that the pair potential of charged colloids in a liquid may be closely approximated by a Yukawa interaction, as predicted by the classical Derjaguin-Landau-Ver…
The effect of boundary adaptivity on hexagonal ordering and bistability in circularly confined quasi hard discs
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Robert L. Jack +3
The behaviour of materials under spatial confinement is sensitively dependent on the nature of the confining boundaries. In two dimensions, confinement within a hard circular bound…
