Cyclically sheared colloidal gels: structural change and delayed failure time

Himangsu Bhaumik, James E. Hallett, Tanniemola B. Liverpool +2

We present experiments and simulations on cyclically sheared colloidal gels, and probe their behaviour on several different length scales. The shearing induces structural changes i…

The glass transition in molecules, colloids and grains: universality and specificity

Olivier Dauchot, François Ladieu, C. Patrick Royall

We highlight certain key achievements in experimental work on molecular, colloidal and granular glassformers. This short review considers these three classes of experimental system…

Structural-dynamical transition in the Wahnström mixture

Francesco Turci, Thomas Speck, C. Patrick Royall

In trajectory space, dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids correspond to the emergence of a dynamical phase transition between an active phase poor in local structure…

Experimental Determination of Configurational Entropy in a Two-Dimensional Liquid under Random Pinning

Ian Williams, Francesco Turci, James E. Hallett +4

A quasi two-dimensional colloidal suspension is studied under the influence of immobilisation (pinning) of a random fraction of its particles. We introduce a novel experimental met…

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…

Structural Covariance in the Hard Sphere Fluid

Benjamin M. G. D. Carter, Francesco Turci, Pierre Ronceray +1

We study the joint variability of structural information in a hard sphere fluid biased to avoid crystallisation and form fivefold symmetric geometric motifs. We show that the struc…
