Dichotomic Aging Behaviour in a Colloidal Glass
Roberta Angelini, Laura Zulian, Andrei Fluerasu +3
An unexpected dichotomic long time aging behaviour is observed in a glassy colloidal clay suspension investigated by X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy and Dynamic Light Scatter…
Exceptional Thermoelectric Power Factors in Hyperdoped, Fully Dehydrogenated Nanocrystalline Silicon Thin Films
Dario Narducci, Laura Zulian, Bruno Lorenzi +2
Single-crystalline silicon is well known to be a poor thermoelectric material due to its high thermal conductivity. Most excellent research has focused on ways to decrease its ther…
Observation of empty liquids and equilibrium gels in a colloidal clay
Barbara Ruzicka, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Laura Zulian +5
The relevance of anisotropic interactions in colloidal systems has recently emerged in the context of the rational design of new soft materials. Patchy colloids of different shapes…
Competing interactions in arrested states of colloidal clays
B. Ruzicka, L. Zulian, E. Zaccarelli +4
Using experiments, theory and simulations, we show that the arrested state observed in a colloidal clay at intermediate concentrations is stabilized by the screened Coulomb repulsi…
Influence of an adsorbing polymer in the aging dynamics of Laponite clay suspensions
L. Zulian, B. Ruzicka, G. Ruocco
Clay-polymer dispersions in aqueous solutions have attracted a great interest in recent years due to their industrial applications and intriguing physical properties. Aqueous solut…
Arrested state of clay-water suspensions: gel or glass?
B. Ruzicka, L. Zulian, R. Angelini +3
The aging of a charged colloidal system has been studied by Small Angle X-rays Scattering, in the exchanged momentum range Q=0.03 - 5 nm-1, and by Dynamic Light Scattering, at diff…
