Effects of vertical confinement on gelation and sedimentation of colloids
Azaima Razali, Christopher J. Fullerton, Francesco Turci +3
We consider the sedimentation of a colloidal gel under confinement in the direction of gravity. The confinement allows us to compare directly experiments and computer simulations,…
From glass formation to icosahedral ordering by curving three-dimensional space
Francesco Turci, Gilles Tarjus, C. Patrick Royall
Geometric frustration describes the inability of a local molecular arrangement, such as icosahedra found in metallic glasses and in model atomic glass-formers, to tile space. Local…
Experimental Evidence for a Structural-Dynamical Transition in Trajectory Space
Rattachai Pinchaipat, Matteo Campo, Francesco Turci +3
Among the key insights into the glass transition has been the identification of a non-equilibrium phase transition in trajectory space which reveals phase coexistence between the n…
Local structure of percolating gels at very low volume fractions
Samuel Griffiths, Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall
The formation of colloidal gels is strongly dependent on the volume fraction of the system and the strength of the interactions between the colloids. Here we explore very dilute so…
Controlling local order of athermal self-propelled particles
Niamh Dougan, Peter Crowther, Francesco Turci +1
We consider a model of self-propelled dynamics for athermal active particles, where the non-equilibrium active forces are modelled by a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In the limit of…
Direct Observation in 3d of Structural Crossover in Binary Hard Sphere Mixtures
Antonia Statt, Rattachai Pinchaipat, Francesco Turci +2
For binary fluid mixtures of spherical particles in which the two species are sufficiently different in size, the dominant wavelength of oscillations of the pair correlation functi…
Non-Equilibrium Phase Transition in an Atomistic Glassformer: the Connection to Thermodynamics
Francesco Turci, C. Patrick Royall, Thomas Speck
Tackling the low-temperature fate of supercooled liquids is challenging due to the immense timescales involved, which prevent equilibration and lead to the operational glass transi…
