Conching chocolate: A prototypical transition from frictionally jammed solid to flowable suspension with maximal solid content
Elena Blanco, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes +6
The mixing of a powder of 10-50μm primary particles into a liquid to form a dispersion with the highest possible solid content is a common industrial operation. Building on recent…
Boundary mobility controls glassiness of confined colloidal liquids
Gary L. Hunter, Kazem V. Edmond, Eric R. Weeks
We use colloidal suspensions encapsulated in emulsion droplets to model confined glass-forming liquids with tunable boundary mobility. We show dynamics in these idealized systems a…
Slow dynamics in cylindrically confined colloidal suspensions
Nabiha Saklayen, Gary L. Hunter, Kazem V. Edmond +1
We study bidisperse colloidal suspensions confined within glass microcapillary tubes to model the glass transition in confined cylindrical geometries. We use high speed three-dimen…
A Free Energy Landscape for Cage Breaking of Three Hard Disks
Gary L. Hunter, Eric R. Weeks
We investigate cage breaking in dense hard disk systems using a model of three Brownian disks confined within a circular corral. This system has a six-dimensional configuration spa…
Tracking Rotational Diffusion of Colloidal Clusters
Gary L. Hunter, Kazem V. Edmond, Mark T. Elsesser +1
We describe a novel method of tracking the rotational motion of clusters of colloidal particles. Our method utilizes rigid body transfor- mations to determine the rotations of a cl…
The Physics of the Colloidal Glass Transition
Gary L. Hunter, Eric R. Weeks
As one increases the concentration of a colloidal suspension, the system exhibits a dramatic increase in viscosity. Structurally, the system resembles a liquid, yet motions within…
