剪切软物质的长度尺度敏感地依赖于分子间的相互作用

Length-scales in sheared soft matter depend sensitively on molecular interactions

A. Scacchi, M. G. Mazza, A. J. Archer

摘要:

软物质和其他物质的结构和有序度与粒子之间相互作用的性质密切相关。一个重要的研究目标是找到合适的控制机制,以增强或抑制不同的结构。利用动力学密度泛函理论,研究了模型系统中粒子间关联的特征长度尺度与外部剪切的相互作用。我们表明,剪切可以可控地改变特征长度尺度从一个到另一个相当明显的值。此外,随着粒子相互作用形式的特定微小变化,施加的剪切可以选择性地增强或抑制系统的不同特征波长,从而显示如何调谐这些波长。我们的研究结果表明,可以利用流动的非线性响应来设计新型的主动响应材料。

英文摘要:

The structure and degree of order in soft matter and other materials is intimately connected to the nature of the interactions between the particles. One important research goal is to find suitable control mechanisms, to enhance or suppress different structures. Using dynamical density functional theory, we investigate the interplay between external shear and the characteristic length-scales in the interparticle correlations of a model system. We show that shear can controllably change the characteristic length-scale from one to another quite distinct value. Moreover, with specific small changes in the form of the particle interactions, the applied shear can either selectively enhance or suppress the different characteristic wavelengths of the system, thus showing how to tune these. Our results suggest that the nonlinear response to flow can be harnessed to design novel actively responsive materials.
