Isotropic-nematic phase separation in suspensions of polydisperse colloidal platelets
Article Abstract:
The phase behavior of a suspension of platelike colloids, which have a broad-size distribution and exhibit isotropic-nematic phase separation over a wide range of particle concentrations, is studied. It was seen that in the coexistence region, phase separation results in a nematic upper phase, which coexists with an isotropic bottom phase.

Solid-liquid phase transition of the hard-core attractive Yukawa systems and its colloidal implications
Article Abstract:
A free volume approach for Helmholtz free energy and theoretically based fitted formulas for a radial distribution function of hard-sphere solid are combined to describe the Helmholtz free energy of a solid phase with the hard-core attractive Yukawa (HCAY) potential in the framework of first-order thermodynamics perturbation theory.

Ultrafast Electronic Relaxation Dynamics in Layered Iodide Semiconductors: A Comparative Study of Colloidal BiI3 and PbI2 Nanoparticles
Article Abstract:
Direct measurements of ultrafast electronic relaxation dynamics in BiI3 colloidal nanoparticles using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and compare with PbI2, a similar layered iodide semiconductor is reported. It is suggested that the surface play a major role in the electronic relaxation process of both BiI3 and PbI2.
