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…
