Glassy dynamics and dynamical heterogeneity in colloids
Luca Cipelletti, Eric R. Weeks
Concentrated colloidal suspensions are a well-tested model system which has a glass transition. Colloids are suspensions of small solid particles in a liquid, and exhibit glassy be…
Local influence of boundary conditions on a confined supercooled colloidal liquid
Kazem V. Edmond, Carolyn R. Nugent, Eric R. Weeks
We study confined colloidal suspensions as a model system which approximates the behavior of confined small molecule glass-formers. Dense colloidal suspensions become glassier when…
Experimental study of random close packed colloidal particles
Rei Kurita, Eric R Weeks
A collection of spherical particles can be packed tightly together into an amorphous packing known as "random close packing" (RCP). This structure is of interest as a model for the…
Influence of Confinement on Dynamical Heterogeneities in Dense Colloidal Samples
Kazem V. Edmond, Carolyn R. Nugent, Eric R. Weeks
We study a dense colloidal suspension confined between two quasiparallel glass plates as a model system for a supercooled liquid in confined geometries. We directly observe the thr…
