Abstract Characterization of the morphology, identification of patterns and quantification of
order encountered in colloidal assemblies is essential for several reasons. First of all, it is …

Ion beam irradiation of spherical colloidal particles is a viable route to induce particle
deformation, especially to get anisotropic shapes. Even though less common in comparison …

In this study, we present a detailed investigation of the morphology of binary colloidal
structures formed by self-assembly at air/water interface of particles of two different sizes …

Two-dimensional (2D) amorphous binary colloidal assemblies composed of particles of two
different sizes are characterized by the loss of hexagonal close-packing for larger particles …

We report a combined rheology, x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, and modeling study
of gel formation and aging in suspensions of nanocolloidal spheres with volume fractions of …

Gels and attractive glasses—both dynamically arrested states formed through short-range
attraction—are commonly found in a range of soft matter systems, including colloids …

The normal modes and relaxation rates of weak colloidal gels are investigated in
calculations using different models of the hydrodynamic interactions between suspended …

We find that unjammed packings of frictionless particles with rather weak attraction can
always be driven into solidlike states by shear. The structure of shear-driven solids evolves …

When a liquid becomes dynamically arrested, a gel, a repulsive glass, or an attractive glass
state will form. Bonding and caging mechanisms decide their static structures and dynamic …

Current developments in colloidal science include the assembly of anisotropic colloids with
broad geometric diversity. As the complexity of particle assemblies increases, the need for …
