  1. From David pine’s webpage Jan Dhont ICS-3 A (short) introduction to colloids Electric-field induced phase transitions, dynamical states and non-equilibrium critical behaviour in concentrated suspensions of rods Kyongok Kang (FZ-Juelich)

  2. Introduction to Colloids What are Colloids? Colloidal particles are “aggregates” with linear dimensions in the size range of 1 nanometer – 20 microns colloids exhibit vivid thermal motion colloids are much larger than fluid molecules “Brownian motion” “hydodynamic interactions” sphere diameter 500 nm

  3. water molecules colloid Introduction to Colloids What are Colloids? Colloidal particles are “aggregates” with linear dimensions in the size range of 1 nanometer – 20 microns colloids exhibit vivid thermal motion sphere diameter 500 nm

  4. water molecules colloid Introduction to Colloids What are Colloids? Colloidal particles are “aggregates” with linear dimensions in the size range of 1 nanometer – 20 microns colloids exhibit vivid thermal motion Brownian motion is nothing but thermal motion Same laws of Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics Phase transitions You don’t have to learn anything new to understand colloids (in principle) sphere diameter 500 nm

  19. 200 micron a chiral nematic is also found at high ionic strengths and at higher f-concentration without an electric field Nematic + Chiral-nematic

  20. 200 micron Uniform homeotropic alignment

  21. 200 micron Uniform homeotropic alignment order parameter (S=0.48) and diffusion coefficients are independent of field strength and frequency no charge-polarization

  22. 200 micron Melting and forming of nematic domains

  23. association of condensed ions E 0 decay towards the isotropic state (ii) (iii) aligned state is unstable rotation of the director towards the external field decrease of ionic strength increase of ionic strength dissociation of condensed ions de-aligned state is meta-stable or unstable (iv) orientational order increases (v) (i) Origin of the dynamical state:

  24. 200 micron Critical behaviour: - Domain size diverges - Characteristic time for melting/forming diverges

  25. I t “video-image correlation function”: characteristic time for melting/forming

  26. E : power-law d: power-law : power-law d: logarithmic H D : logarithmic d: finite N*

  27. Polarization for parallel orientation only important when : frequency of the external field time to diffuse over the length of the rod diffusion coefficient of salt ions Hydrodynamic interactions are instantaneous when : Long rods : specific mass time for a shear wave to propagate of a distance shear viscosity

  28. hydrodynamic interactions (neglect polarization) polarization (neglect hydrodynamic interactions)

  29. Smoluchowski equation: (or : “the overdamped Liouville equation”) direct interactions hydrodynamic interactions gradient operator pdf for positions and orientations rotation operator diffusion-migration on a surface Theory low frequencies - polarization of a single particle (cooperation with Jerry Manning) - calculation of the pair-interaction forces - include these forces in the Smoluchowski equation (no HI: ) - account for the field-induced association-dissociation of condensed ions high frequencies (cooperation with Bogdan Cichocki) - flow induced by a single, unperturbed equilibrium double layer - “active” hydrodynamic interaction functions - analyze the Smoluchowski equation + “active” hydrodynamic + unperturbed direct interactions
