… Most attempts to understand glasses start from liquid state theory. Here we take the … from
solid state physics. We determine the vibrational modes of a colloidal glass experimentally, and …

… colloidal, so that thermal motion agitates the particles. Such hard-sphere colloidal systems
are known to undergo a glass … the glassy state can be obtained from the density of states. The …

… colloidal system exhibited some theoretically predicted universal features of both disordered
crystals (4, 5) and structural glasses (7… of other colloidal systems such as structural glasses, …

… Dynamics in HS systems in colloidal supercooled fluids and colloidal glasses have also
been investigated in real space with laser scanning confocal microscopy Citation96, Citation97, …

… and large densities. At constant temperature, we find that an amorphous … state is entered
upon compression, as in colloidal hard spheres, but the glass unexpectedly melts when density …

… The focus of this review is the current state of understanding of the colloidal glass transition…
glass transition in colloids. We describe features of colloidal systems near and in glassy states…

… a series of colloidal crystals. On the other hand we were also interested in the possible states
of a … This could easily be formed by mixing together suspensions of colloids with different di…

… This article will compare and contrast the behaviour of two types of colloidal glass. In ‘repulsive’
glasses, the localization of the particles results simply from crowding or ‘jamming’: at …

… ) entropy, and this is lost when a colloidal glass is formed, thereby rendering the glass a
non-equilibrium, though stable trapped state. The breathing movements of the cage, coupled to …

Different kinds of colloidal particles dispersed in anisotropic liquids (ie liquid crystalline
phases) have recently attracted increasing attention for their unique collective behavior. These …
