We present a mathematical model of the unidirectional solidification of a suspension of hard-
sphere colloids. Similarity solutions are obtained for the volume fraction and temperature …

We present a linear stability analysis of a planar ice interface during unidirectional
solidification of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension. We find that the interface can become …

We study crystal nucleation under the influence of sedimentation in a model of colloidal hard
spheres via Brownian dynamics simulations. We introduce two external fields acting on the …

Recent directional solidification experiments with aqueous suspensions of alumina particles
(Anderson & Worster, Langmuir, vol. 28 (48), 2012, pp. 16512–16523) motivate a model for …

The phenomenon of particles segregation by a solidification front is very important in several
areas like metallurgy, materials science, biology, soils freezing, etc. When a particle is close …

We derive an expression for the nonequilibrium segregation coefficient of colloidal particles
near a moving solid-liquid interface. The resulting kinetic phase diagram has applications for …

The crystallization of suspensions of sterically stabilized polymer particles, with hard-sphere-
like interactions, is studied by laser light scattering. Over the range of volume fractions …

The interaction between the solidification and convection that occurs when a melt is cooled
from above is investigated in a series of three papers. In these papers we consider a two …

Colloidal particles are often seen as big atoms that can be directly observed in real space.
They are therefore becoming increasingly important as model systems to study processes of …

We examine the interaction of a spherical foreign particle with a propagating solidification
front in a binary alloy. Depending on the material properties and the speed of the front, the …
