요약 | Understanding the nature of the glass transition is one of the most challenging problems in condensed matter physics. Although ubiquitous and technically important, glasses still elude a universally accepted theoretical description. Here, we use |
요약 | In three dimension (3D), we design a colloidal system, where particles are confined inside spherical cavities with an amorphous layer of particles pinned at the boundary. Using this novel system, we capture the amorphous-order particle clusters |
요약 | In two dimension (2D), we prepare quasi-2D confined colloidal liquids with optical tweezers. We confirm the existence of a divergent static length in quasi-2D liquids. We further use the confinement as a tool to probe the Mermin-Wagner long-wave |
요약 | Lastly, we have also conduct an experimental study on the 1D dynamic self-assembly of charged colloidal particles in microfluidic flows. Using high-speed confocal microscopy, we systematically investigate the influence of flow rates, electrostat |
요약 | Our study provides key experimental evidences to support the development of RFOT theory to better understand the glass transition in both 3D and 2D. The fundamental differences of particle dynamics between 3D and 2D are also studied. In addition |
