Particle sizing by dynamic light scattering: non-linear cumulant analysis

Alastair G. Mailer, Paul S. Clegg, Peter N. Pusey

We revisit the method of cumulants for analysing dynamic light scattering data in particle sizing applications. Here the data, in the form of the time correlation function of scatt…

Avalanches mediate crystallization in a hard-sphere glass

Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Emanuela Zaccarelli +3

By molecular-dynamics simulations, we have studied the devitrification (or crystallization) of aged hard-sphere glasses. First, we find that the dynamics of the particles are inter…

From compact to fractal crystalline clusters in concentrated systems of monodisperse hard spheres

Chantal Valeriani, Eduardo Sanz, Peter N. Pusey +3

We address the crystallization of monodisperse hard spheres in terms of the properties of finite- size crystalline clusters. By means of large scale event-driven Molecular Dynamics…

Crystallization Mechanism of Hard Sphere Glasses

Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Emanuela Zaccarelli +3

In supercooled liquids, vitrification generally suppresses crystallization. Yet some glasses can still crystallize despite the arrest of diffusive motion. This ill-understood proce…

Differential Dynamic Microscopy of Bacterial Motility

Laurence G. Wilson, Vincent A. Martinez, Jana Schwarz-Linek +4

We demonstrate 'differential dynamic microscopy' (DDM) for the fast, high throughput characterization of the dynamics of active particles. Specifically, we characterize the swimmin…

Hard Spheres: Crystallization and Glass Formation

P. N. Pusey, E. Zaccarelli, C. Valeriani +3

Motivated by old experiments on colloidal suspensions, we report molecular dynamics simulations of assemblies of hard spheres, addressing crystallization and glass formation. The s…
