强约束胶体是二维液体的好模型吗?

Are strongly confined colloids good models for two dimensional liquids?

Jiting Tian, Walter Kob, Jean-Louis Barrat

摘要:

准二维(quasi-2D)胶态硬球悬浮液被限制在狭缝几何形状中,被广泛用作探测2D系统的玻璃态弛豫动力学的实验中的2D模型系统。然而,这些准2D系统在多大程度上确实代表2D系统的问题很少被提出。在这里,我们使用的计算机模拟,考虑到流体动力学相互作用,表明密集的准二维胶体双分散硬球悬浮液表现出更快的扩散和松弛比他们的二维同行在相同的面积分数。这种差异是由准2D样品中的额外垂直空间引起的,其中小胶体可以移出2D平面,因此允许投影轨迹中的颗粒之间的重叠。令人惊讶的是,如果不使用表面密度,而是通过与径向分布函数相关的合适的结构量来表征系统,则可以解释动力学中的这种差异。这意味着在两种几何形状中,玻璃形成的相关物理性质基本相同。我们的研究结果不仅提供了实际的影响,二维胶体实验,但也有趣的见解,在玻璃形成系统的3D到2D的交叉。

英文摘要:

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) colloidal hard-sphere suspensions confined in a slit geometry are widely used as two dimensional (2D) model systems in experiments that probe the glassy relaxation dynamics of 2D systems. However, the question to what extent these quasi-2D systems indeed represent 2D systems is rarely brought up. Here, we use computer simulations that take into account hydrodynamic interactions to show that dense quasi-2D colloidal bi-disperse hard-sphere suspensions exhibit much more rapid diffusion and relaxation than their 2D counterparts at the same area fraction. This difference is induced by the additional vertical space in the quasi-2D samples in which the small colloids can move out of the 2D plane, therefore allowing overlap between particles in the projected trajectories. Surprisingly, this difference in the dynamics can be accounted for if, instead of using the surface density, one characterizes the systems by means of a suitable structural quantity related to the radial distribution function. This implies that in the two geometries the relevant physics for glass-formation is essentially identical. Our results provide not only practical implications on 2D colloidal experiments but also interesting insights into the 3D-to-2D crossover in glass-forming systems.
