约束对稠密胶体样品动力学不均匀性的影响

Influence of Confinement on Dynamical Heterogeneities in Dense Colloidal Samples

Kazem V. Edmond, Carolyn R. Nugent, Eric R. Weeks

摘要:

我们研究了一个封闭在两块准平行玻璃板之间的稠密胶体悬浮体,作为封闭几何中过冷液体的模型系统。利用激光扫描共聚焦显微镜直接观察到胶体颗粒的三维布朗运动。颗粒沿着壁形成致密层,但由于我们使用两种颗粒尺寸的混合物,因此避免了结晶。一个正常的液体样样品,当被限制时,表现出较慢的扩散运动。粒子重排是空间异质性的,重排区域的形状强烈地受分层的影响。这些重新排列的区域在限制后变得更加平坦。壁诱导层和空间非均匀动力学的变化特征似乎与限制诱导玻璃化密切相关。

英文摘要:

We study a dense colloidal suspension confined between two quasiparallel glass plates as a model system for a supercooled liquid in confined geometries. We directly observe the three-dimensional Brownian motion of the colloidal particles using laser scanning confocal microscopy. The particles form dense layers along the walls, but crystallization is avoided as we use a mixture of two particle sizes. A normally liquid-like sample, when confined, exhibits slower diffusive motion. Particle rearrangements are spatially heterogeneous, and the shapes of the rearranging regions are strongly influenced by the layering. These rearranging regions become more planar upon confinement. The wall-induced layers and changing character of the spatially heterogeneous dynamics appear strongly connected to the confinement induced glassiness.
