Journal ArticleDOI
Two Experimental Tests of the Halperin-Lubensky-Ma Effect at the Nematic–Smectic- A Phase Transition
Anand Yethiraj,John Bechhoefer +1 more
TL;DR: Two quantitative tests of predictions based on the Halperin-Lubensky-Ma theory of fluctuation-induced first-order phase transitions find the first quantitative evidence for deviations from the HLM theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloidal epitaxy: playing with the boundary conditions of colloidal crystallization
Alfons van Blaaderen,Jacob P. Hoogenboom,Dirk L. J. Vossen,Anand Yethiraj,Astrid van der Horst,Koen Visscher,Marileen Dogterom +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the ability to manipulate colloids with highly focused light, optical traps or tweezers will become an important tool in both the study of colloidal crystallization and in making new structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformable particles with anisotropic interactions: unusual field-induced structural transitions in ultrasoft ionic microgel colloids
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adding an anisotropic dipolar contribution to colloids with such "ultra-soft" interactions is reported. And the results show significant field-induced structural transitions at low as well as at very high effective volume fractions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-density ordered phase in brownian dipolar colloidal suspensions.
Amit Agarwal,Anand Yethiraj +1 more
TL;DR: A novel phase where chains of particles aggregate to form a well defined cellular network, consisting of particle-free "voids" surrounded by a percolating network of particles-rich walls, indicative of an equilibrium thermodynamic phase.
