Connectivity dynamics in the vitrification of colloidal liquids
Ruben Higler, Johannes Krausser, Jasper van der Gucht +2
While various structural and dynamical precursors to vitrification have been identified, a predictive and quantitative description of how subtle changes at the microscopic scale gi…
Linking particle dynamics to local connectivity in colloidal gels
Jan Maarten van Doorn, Jochem Bronkhorst, Ruben Higler +2
Colloidal gels are a prototypical example of a heterogeneous network solid whose complex properties are governed by thermally-activated dynamics. In this Letter we experimentally e…
Anomalous dynamics of interstitial dopants in soft crystals
Justin Tauber, Ruben Higler, Joris Sprakel
The dynamics of interstitial dopants governs the properties of a wide variety of doped crystalline materials. To describe the hopping dynamics of such interstitial impurities, clas…
Criticality and mechanical enhancement in composite fibre networks
Jan Maarten van Doorn, Luuk Lageschaar, Joris Sprakel +1
Many biological materials consist of sparse networks of disordered fibres, embedded in a soft elastic matrix. The interplay between rigid and soft elements in such composite networ…
