1 Colloids as nucleons Willem Kegel & Jan Groenewold Van t Hoff Laboratory Utrecht University The Netherlands Finite-size equilibrium structures <-> macroscopic phase separation Equilibrium clusters & periodic structures in systems with long-range repulsion and short-range attraction
2 Free energy of dispersed matter in capillary approximation: Finite size micro- versus macroscopic phase separation F F0 S Bulk Minimize F by minimizing surface area S Surface macroscopic phase separation Micro phase separation: internal constraints Micelles, microemulsions, vesicles, diblock copolymers Amphiphilic building blocks
3 virus capsids ~ coats of viruses 0 nm (Un)coating regulated by: * Hydrophobic interactions between apolar patches on protein surface Screened-Coulomb interactions few nm [WKK & P. vd Schoot, BPJ 2004; 2006]
4 Patchy colloidal molecules [DJ Kraft ea, PNAS 2012] (with Ran Ni, Frank Smallenburg, Marjolein Dijkstra)
5 Atomic nuclei internal constraint = long-range Coulomb repulsion
6 Outline Weakly charged colloids, low screening: colloids as nucleons (High screening has been done: DLVO) Cluster phases in colloids & proteins controversies Strong attraction : non-equilibrium clusters Higher densities link with dense nuclear matter
7 Colloids & nucleons [J. Groenewold & WKK. J. Phys. Chem. B 105, (2001); J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 16 S4877 (2004) ] Short-range attraction + long-range repulsion Colloidal cluster Van der Waals / depletion (Screened) Coulomb Atom nucleus Strong nuclear force Coulomb

9 Colloidal equivalent: u(r) 0 Charged colloids in solvents with small dielectric constant: long-range repulsion (long screening length) Attractive potential of mean force by (e.g.,) depletion of polymers Quiz: equiv of charge generating r/d Ionic dissociation at low dielectric constants: dissociation energy term? ktλ B /b ionization due to increased translational entropy of counter ions. bond length Bjerrum length ion capture : C (n+1)+ + i - C n+ Free energy density of spherical colloidal cluster of radius R: f f0 R B R 2 ln( / 0) 1 5 Surface tension Charges/ volume Entropy (ions + combinatorial) e rb B / b 2 0
10 Intermezzo: site-binding model Ions can be bound to colloid surface with energy or translate freely in bulk *Free energy F ln Q ln Q Q Q ads Z max max! ads Z!( Z Z)! e bulk / b B max / b B ( Z Z) B 2 e 4 kt 0 Q bulk Z V Zb!

11 Entropic term charge - generating Similar role as symmetry term in mass formula: Expand around ρ 0 : 1 2 ln( / ) 1 2 ( ) Now cluster free energy isomorphic to mass formula!
12 Map cluster free energy onto mass formula.

First indications: Segre ea, PRL 86, 6042, (2001)
13 [Segre ea, PRL 86, 6042, (2001)]
14 [Sedgwick ea, J. Phys.: Condens. Matt. 16, S491, (2004) Stradner ea Nature 42, 492, (2004)] Model prediction: optimum cluster radius R [M. van Schooneveld ea JPCB 2009] * Aggr.# R * [Stradner ea Nature 42, 492, (2004)] Other cluster shapes see, e.g, S. Mossa ea, Langmuir 2004
15 Origin of attraction: depletion interaction Volume inaccessible to depletant com Depletant r g r Overlap volume Pairwise: (Asakura-Oosawa (AO) potential) U 4 r 1 r 4 16 kt p 1 Rr g
16 Quiz: Why R*?
17 Why R*? Minimize free energy density - result R 15 * 2 8 B As long as ρ ρ 0, and e rb B / b 2 0 QED
18 Stable clusters also observed in aqueous protein solutions (without added salt) Aggr.# R * [Stradner ea Nature 42, 492, (2004)] Numbers (small R, large ε) make sense Cluster size cannot (much) exceed Debye length
19 Controversy [PNAS 105, 5075, (2008)] In case of clusters: expect constant peak with lysozyme concentration but critical cluster concentration 200 g/l!
20 Evidence for equilibium protein clusters in vivo: [KP Johnston ea ACSNano 2012] Cluster size >> Debye length -> expect unstable to further growth but clusters hardly contain water -> low local dielectric constant, ionic strength. Low screening.
21 R Cluster size versus attraction strength ε 15 * 2 8 B e rb B / b r 2 predict R*... Opposite trend [Zhang ea Soft Matter2012]
22 Explain trend by classical nucleation theory: Cluster formation free energy (out of colloidal gas state)
23 Result Nucleation rate J (ε = -8.8 kt) ~ 10 4 J (ε = -5.5 kt) Initially more & smaller clusters with more attraction
24 How far can we push the analogy with nuclear matter? Large nuclear densities: neutron star interiors Several scenarios; first attempt: [Baym, Bethe & Pethick, Nucl. Phys. A175, 225, (1971)] Core: Density gcm -
25 Nuclear matter at high density : several predictions, e.g., Spaghetti Lasagna anti spaghetti [Watanabe, Sato, Yasuoka, Ebisuzaki, Phys. Rev. C66, , (2002); 68, 05806, (200)]
26 Periodic structures in MD simulation of MONODISPERSE colloidal system [A. De Candia ea, PRE 74, 01040(R), (2006)] Model potential disordered columnar lamellar
27 Experiments at higher colloid volume fractions : gelation. Force gel into columnar like state by E-field and see what happens [Zhang ea, Soft Matter 2015 ] After preparation: gel Field on : columnar Field off after 4 days Field off after 7 days MD simulations of polydisperse systems: periodic structures unstable beyond 1% polydispersity [Zhang ea, Soft Matter 2015 ]
28 Improve theory: Conclusions and further work Clusters are stable (colloidal) state of matter under conditions of long range repulsion (relative to the size of a colloid) and short-range attraction Non-equilibrium clusters appear at strong attractions At high colloid concentrations, colloidal gel is the stable state beyond spherical clusters inhomogeneous charge distributions interactions between clusters allow for dielectric constant variation
