The recent surge to explore and exploit the effect of particle shape has led to several
interesting and unique observations in various diverse fields, ranging from biology to …

The past five years have witnessed considerable progress in the field of colloid physics, in
particular when colloidal dispersions are exposed to external fields such as shear flow …

The physics of colloidal suspensions confined in slits and cavities has significantly
advanced during the last twenty years. In particular, freezing transitions in confinement have …

For colloidal dispersions, recent progress in observing, understanding and describing
instabilities resolved on the length scale of the individual particles is summarized. The …

The phase diagram of Yukawa particles confined between two parallel hard walls is
calculated at zero temperature beyond the bilayer regime by lattice-sum-minimization …

We study the structural phase transitions in confined systems of strongly interacting particles.
We consider infinite quasi-one-dimensional systems with different pairwise repulsive …

Two-dimensional dispersions of colloidal particles with a range of surface chemistries and
electrostatic potentials are characterized under a series of solution ionic strengths. A …

We combine real-space experiments and lattice sum calculations to investigate the phase
diagram of charged colloidal particles under soft confinement. In the experiments we explore …

By lattice sum minimization, we predict the ground state of particles interacting via a Yukawa
potential which are confined in a quasi–one-dimensional cylindrical tube. As a function of …

We investigated driven crystal formation events in thin layers of sedimented colloidal
particles under low salt conditions. Using optical microscopy, we observe particles in a …
