Experimental Realization of the Green-Kubo Relation in Colloidal Suspensions Enabled by Image-based Stress Measurements

Neil Y. C. Lin, Matthew Bierbaum, Itai Cohen

By combining confocal microscopy and Stress Assessment from Local Structural Anisotropy (SALSA), we directly measure stresses in 3D quiescent colloidal liquids. Our non-invasive an…

How Confinement-Induced Structures Alter the Contribution of Hydrodynamic and Short-Ranged Repulsion Forces to the Viscosity of Colloidal Suspensions

Meera Ramaswamy, Neil Y. C. Lin, Brian D. Leahy +4

Understanding the correlation between structure and rheology in colloidal suspensions is important as these suspensions are crucial in industrial applications. Moreover, colloids e…

Relating Microstructure and Particle-level Stress in Colloidal Crystals Under Increased Confinement

Neil Y. C. Lin, Itai Cohen

The mechanical properties of crystalline materials can be substantially modified under confinement. Such modified macroscopic properties are usually governed by the altered microst…

Measuring nonlinear stresses generated by defects in 3D colloidal crystals

Neil Y. C. Lin, Matthew Bierbaum, Peter Schall +2

The mechanical, structural and functional properties of crystals are determined by their defects and the distribution of stresses surrounding these defects has broad implications f…

A multi-axis confocal rheoscope for studying shear flow of structured fluids

Neil Y. C. Lin, Jonathan H. McCoy, Xiang Cheng +3

We present a new design for a confocal rheoscope that enables uniform uniaxial or biaxial shear. The design consists of two precisely-positioned parallel plates with a gap that can…

Tunable Shear Thickening in Suspensions

Neil Y. C. Lin, Christopher Ness, Michael E. Cates +2

Shear thickening, an increase of viscosity with shear rate, is a ubiquitous phenomena in suspended materials that has implications for broad technological applications. Controlling…

Hydrodynamic and contact contributions to shear thickening in colloidal suspensions

Neil Y. C. Lin, Ben M. Guy, Michiel Hermes +4

Shear thickening is a widespread phenomenon in suspension flow that, despite sustained study, is still the subject of much debate. The longstanding view that shear thickening is du…

Far-from-equilibrium Sheared Colloidal Liquids: Disentangling Relaxation, Advection, and Shear-induced Diffusion

Neil Y. C Lin, Sushmit Goyal, Xiang Cheng +3

Using high-speed confocal microscopy, we measure the particle positions in a colloidal suspension under large amplitude oscillatory shear. Using the particle positions we quantify…

Bi-axial shear of confined colloidal suspensions: the structure and rheology of the vorticity-aligned string phase

Neil Y. Lin, Xiang Cheng, Itai Cohen

Using a novel bi-axial confocal rheoscope, we investigate the structure and rheology of sheared colloidal suspensions under confinement. Consistent with previous work [X. Cheng \te…
