Performing light scattering experiments we show that introducing short-ranged attraction to a
colloid suspension of nearly hard spheres by addition of a free polymer produces new glass …

Structural rearrangements are an essential property of atomic and molecular glasses; they
are critical in controlling resistance to flow and are central to the evolution of many …

Polymer gels, consisting of a cross-linked polymer network immersed in liquid, undergo a
volume phase transition: when external conditions such as temperature or solvent …

Colloidal suspensions of highly charged, monodisperse polymer spheres exhibit long-range
(crystalline) translational ordering in appropriate conditions of charge, number density …

We report a detailed experimental study of the structure and dynamics of glassy states in
hard spheres with short-range attraction. The system is a suspension of nearly hard-sphere …

We use dynamic light scattering and computer simulations to study equilibrium dynamics
and dynamic heterogeneity in concentrated suspensions of colloidal hard spheres. Our …

We study by molecular dynamics the interplay between arrest and crystallization in hard
spheres. For state points in the plane of volume fraction (0.54≤ ϕ≤ 0.63) and polydispersity …

The colloid known as monodisperse latex1 is an aqueous suspension of a synthetic
polymer, the particles of which are ideally spherical and uniform in size (monodisperse). It …

Glassy states have been observed in hard-spherelike colloidal suspensions; however, some
recent work suggests that a stable, one-component hard-sphere glass doesn't exist. A …

Many emerging materials, such as ultrastable glasses, of interest for phone displays and
OLED television screens, owe their properties to a gradient of enhanced mobility at the …
