Anisotropic Collective Dynamics: Anomalous Dynamics of Magnetic Anisotropic Colloids Studied by XPCS (Small 46/2018). Issue 46 (15th November 2018) - Pal, Antara
Abstract : In article number1802233, Peter Schurtenberger and co‐workers explore the length scale dependent collective dynamics of colloids that are anisotropic not only in shape but also in their interaction potential. Ultra small angle X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy has been used to reveal the anisotropic dynamics of dipolar chains formed by colloidal peanut‐shaped particles. The success of this experiment opens up the possibility to explore anisotropic dynamics of self‐assembled structures of mesoscopic length scales.
