Colloids in light fields: particle dynamics in random and periodic energy landscapes
F. Evers, R. D. L. Hanes, C. Zunke +8
The dynamics of colloidal particles in potential energy landscapes have mainly been investigated theoretically. In contrast, here we discuss the experimental realization of potenti…
Finding bridges in packings of colloidal spheres
Matthew C. Jenkins, Mark D. Haw, Gary C. Barker +2
We identify putative load-bearing structures (bridges) in experimental colloidal systems studied by confocal microscopy. Bridges are co-operative structures that have been used to…
Combined holographic-mechanical optical tweezers: Construction, optimisation and calibration
Richard D. L. Hanes, Matthew C. Jenkins, Stefan U. Egelhaaf
A spatial light modulator (SLM) and a pair of galvanometer-mounted mirrors (GMM) were combined into an optical tweezers set-up. This provides great flexibility as the SLM creates a…
Colloidal suspensions in modulated light fields
Matthew C. Jenkins, Stefan U. Egelhaaf
Periodically-modulated potentials in the form of light fields have previously been applied to induce reversible phase transitions in dilute colloidal systems with long-range intera…
Confocal microscopy of colloidal particles: towards reliable, optimum coordinates
Matthew C. Jenkins, Stefan U. Egelhaaf
Over the last decade, the light microscope has become increasingly useful as a quantitative tool for studying colloidal systems. The ability to obtain particle coordinates in bulk…
