Binary Mixtures of Charged Colloidal Suspensions and their Role as Model Systems — •Nina J.

We investigate colloidal charged sphere mixtures in aqueous dispersion, exploring their possible use as conveniently accessible models for metallic binary mixtures. Using static and dynamic light scattering, torsional resonance spectroscopy and optical microscopy we investigate the structure, elasticity and solidification kinetics of mixtures with different size- and charge ratio. We find a rich variety of binary phase diagrams similar to those in metal systems including spindle, azeotropic and eutectic types [1, 2]. Eutectic-like behaviour is found for large asymmetries in the mixtures and demixing confirmed by diffusion experiments. The independent solidification of the segregating components is monitored with time resolved elasticity measurements. In addition we find interesting morphologies not unlike those in metal eutectics, but still considerably altered due to the different system dynamics. [1] T. Palberg, N. Lorenz, H.J. Schoepe, P.
