Abstract

Static and dynamic light-scattering measurements are made for colloidal-crystals,-liquids and-gases of silica spheres, 103 nm in diameter, in the exhaustively deionized suspension and in the presence of sodium chloride. Sharp peaks in the scattering curve are observed, for the first time, for the colloidal crystals in very diluted aqueous suspension. The product of the effective diffusion coefficient and the scattered light intensity is found constant over the whole range of the scattering angle measured for the colloidal crystals and liquids. Three and two dynamic processes have been extracted separately from time profiles of autocorrelation function of colloidal crystals and liquids, respectively from Marquadt histogram analysis. Decay curves of colloidal gases are characterized by a single translational diffusion coefficient,D 0.D 0 of the gases is always lower than the calculation from the Stokes-Einstein equation with the true diameter of spheres, and increases as ionic concentration increases. These experimental results emphasize the important role of the expanded electrical double layers on the diffusive properties in the colloidal crystals, liquids and gases.
