A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

As one increases the concentration of a colloidal suspension, the system exhibits a dramatic
increase in viscosity. Beyond a certain concentration, the system is said to be a colloidal …

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed
experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of …

Since Dr. Disiich of Germany prepared a glass lens by the sol-gel method around 1970, sol-
gel science and technology has continued to develop. Since then this field has seen …

In the last two decades, advances in synthetic, experimental and modeling/simulation
methodologies have considerably enhanced our understanding of colloidal suspension …

Steady and oscillatory rheology was utilized to study the mechanical response of colloidal
glasses and gels with particular emphasis in their yielding behaviour. We used a …

We review progress in designing and transforming multi-functional yield-stress fluids and
give a perspective on the current state of knowledge that supports each step in the design …

We report a number of experiments, mainly rheological measurements, examining the
yielding behavior of colloidal glasses with hard-sphere interaction plus a short-range …

Quantum noise limits the sensitivity of interferometric measurements. It is generally admitted
that it leads to an ultimate sensitivity, the" standard quantum limit". Using a semi-classical …

We explore the influence of particle softness on the state diagram of well characterized
polyelectrolyte microgel suspensions using dynamic light scattering and rheology. Upon …
