Structure of nanoparticles embedded in micellar polycrystals
Elisa Tamborini, Neda Ghofraniha, Julian Oberdisse +2
We investigate by scattering techniques the structure of water-based soft composite materials comprising a crystal made of Pluronic block-copolymer micelles arranged in a face-cent…
Grain refinement and partitioning of impurities in the grain boundaries of a colloidal polycrystal
Neda Ghofraniha, Elisa Tamborini, Julian Oberdisse +2
We study the crystallization of a colloidal model system in presence of secondary nanoparticles acting as impurities. Using confocal microscopy, we show that the nanoparticles segr…
Time-dependent Nonlinear Optical Susceptibility of an Out-of-Equilibrium Soft Material
Neda Ghofraniha, Claudio Conti, Giancarlo Ruocco +1
We investigate the time-dependent nonlinear optical absorption of a clay dispersion (Laponite) in organic dye (Rhodamine B) water solution displaying liquid-arrested state transiti…
Aging of the Nonlinear Optical Susceptibility of colloidal solutions
Neda Ghofraniha, Claudio Conti, Giancarlo Ruocco
Using Z-scan and dynamic light scattering measurements we investigate the nonlinear optics response of a colloidal solution undergoing dynamics slowing down with age. We study the…
