Rhythmic cluster generation in strongly driven colloidal dispersions | | H. H. Wensink

28 Jun 2006 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter | | Abstract: | We study the response of a nematic colloidal dispersion of rods to a driven probe particle which is dragged with high speed through the dispersion perpendicular to the nematic director. In front of the dragged particle, clusters of rods are generated which rhythmically grow and dissolve by rotational motion. We find evidence for a mesoscopic cluster-cluster correlation length, {em independent} of the imposed drag speed. Our results are based on non-equilibrium Brownian dynamics computer simulations and in line with a dynamical scaling theory. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0606738 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
