Research Project
- Phase transition ハントカジノ 登録方法hase separation of colloids
- Theoretical and numerical study of nonequilibrium soft matter
- Development of novel photonic colloidal materials
- Crystallization of charged colloids under microgravity
We study crystallization (order-disorder phase transition) ハントカジノ 登録方法hase separation of charged colloids as model systems to investigate phase behavior of condensed matter in general. We also study applications of the gelled colloidal crystals to optical devices and sensing materials. Current topics are (i) crystallizations of charged colloids under temperature ハントカジノ 登録方法H gradients[1,2], (ii) phase separation in binary charged colloids, (iii) crystallization of the charged colloid under microgravity.
We study dynamics of soft matter (colloids, polymers, liquid crystals, etc.) both theoretically and numerically, in order to clarify the physical essence, which resides in complex phenomena of soft matter out of equilibrium. Current topics are (iv) theoretical analysis of drying processes of polymer solutions, and (v) phenomenological modeling of crystallization of colloids under external fields.
