MotivationsInvestigate the competing effects of short range attraction and longer-range repulsion in colloidal systems
Focus: Dynamics close to arrested states of matter: Cluster Phases, Glasses and/or Gels

Cluster Ground State: Only Attraction
Cluster Ground State: Only Repulsion---> No clusters !

Cluster Ground State: Attraction and Repulsion (Yukawa)
Vanishing of the “surface tension” !

Short Range Attraction,--dominant in small clusters
Longer Range Repulsion
Competition Between Short Range Attraction and Longer Range Repulsion: Role in the clustering
Importance of the short-range attraction: Only nn interactions

Size dependence of the cluster shape
“Linear” Growth is an “attractor”

Role of T and :
On cooling (or on increasing attraction), monomers tend to cluster….
From isolated to interacting clusters
In the region of the phase diagram where the attractive potential would generate a phase separation….repulsion slows down (or stop) aggregation. The range of the attractive interactions plays a role.
How do clusters interact ?

How do “spherical” clusters interact ?

Conclusions……Several morphologies can be generated by the competition of
short-range attraction (fixing the T-scale) and the strength and length of the interaction. A new route to gelation.
Continuous change from a Wigner-like glass to a gelWhile equilibrium would probably suggest a first order
transition to a lamellar phase, arrested metastable states appear to be kinetically favored
Possibility of exporting ideas developed in colloidal systems to protein systems (Schurtenberger, Chen) and, more in general to biological systems in which often one dimensional growth followed by gelation is observed.
