Multiphase coexistence in polydisperse colloidal mixtures

C. Grodon, R. Roth

We study the phase behavior of mixtures of monodisperse colloidal spheres with a depletion agent which can have arbitrary shape and can possess a polydisperse size or shape distrib…

Morphological Thermodynamics of Fluids: Shape Dependence of Free Energies

P. -M. König, R. Roth, K. R. Mecke

We examine the dependence of a thermodynamic potential of a fluid on the geometry of its container. If motion invariance, continuity, and additivity of the potential are fulfilled,…

The Asakura-Oosawa model in the protein limit: the role of many-body interactions

A. Moncho-Jorda, A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis +1

We study the Asakura-Oosawa model in the "protein limit", where the penetrable sphere radius is much greater than the hard sphere radius . The phase behaviour and str…

Effective forces in colloidal mixtures: from depletion attraction to accumulation repulsion

A. A. Louis, E. Allahyarov, H. Lowen +1

Computer simulations and theory are used to systematically investigate how the effective force between two big colloidal spheres in a sea of small spheres depends on the basic (big…

Understanding depletion forces beyond entropy

C. Bechinger, D. Rudhardt, P. Leiderer +2

The effective interaction energy of a colloidal sphere in a suspension containing small amounts of non-ionic polymers and a flat glass surface has been measured and calculated usin…
