dc.description.abstract | We report results of a systematic experimental study of interactions between charged polystyrene (PS) latex spheres at a water-air interface. Optical observations of stable bonded particle clusters and formation of circular chainlike structures at the interface demonstrate that the interaction potential is of dipole origin. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to examine the distribution of charge groups on the colloidal surface. AFM phase images show patchy domains of size ~100 nm on the particle surface, indicating that the surface charge distribution of the PS spheres is not uniform, as is commonly believed. Such patchy charges can introduce fluctuating in-plane dipoles, leading to an attraction at short interparticle separations. A theoretical analysis is given to explain the mechanism for attractions between like-charged particles at the interface. | |
