Dynamical heterogeneities in glasses, colloids, and granular media
|
Ludovic Berthier |
"Most of the solid materials we use in everyday life, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist under a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses. Yet, we are still seeking a fundamental explanati… |

Crystallization of Nanoscaled Colloids
|
Philip G. Born |
This thesis deals with the processes that create ordered assemblies from disordered nanoparticles. Ordered packings of nanoscale particles can exhibit unusual properties. This work investigates the s… |

Physics of Amphiphilic Layers
|
Jacques Meunier |
Amphiphilic layers play essential roles in the behaviour of a great variety of disperse systems such as micelles, microemulsions and vesicles. They can also exist as isolated mono- or bilayers, or co… |
