Colloid dynamics and transitions to dynamically arrested

Colloid Dynamics and Transitions to Dynamically Arrested States 5... 

The first two chapters (by Medina-Noyola et al. and Dominguez, respectively) deal explicitly with theoretical aspects of colloid dynamics and transitions to dynamically arrested states and capillary forces in colloidal systems at fluid interfaces. 

To illustrate these ideas let us summarize the general system of equations that constitute the SCGLE theory. In principle, these are the exact results for A (f), F k, f), and t) in Equations 1.20,1.23, and 1.24, complemented with the simplified Vineyard approximation in Equation 1.37 and the simplified interpolating closure in Equation 1.38. This set of equations define the SCGLE theory of colloid dynamics. Its full solution also yields the value of the long-time self-diffusion coefficient which is the order parameter appropriate to detect the glass transition from the fluid side. This is, however, not the only method to detect dynamic arrest transition, as we now explain.
