Localized Elasticity Governs the Nonlinear Rheology of Colloidal Supercooled Liquids
2022
Overview
We propose a microscopic picture for understanding the nonlinear rheology of supercooled liquids with soft repulsive potentials. Based on Brownian dynamics simulations of supercooled charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions, our analysis shows that the shear thinning of viscosity (η) at large enough shear rates (γ˙), expressed asη∼γ˙−λ, originates from the evolution of the localized elastic region (LER). An LER is a transient zone composed of the first several coordination shells of a reference particle. In response to the external shear, particles within the LER undergo nearly affine displacement before the yielding of the LER. The characteristic strain (γ) and size (ξ) of the LER, respectively, depend on the shear rate byγ∼γ˙εandξ∼γ˙−ν. Three exponents,λ,ε, andν, are related byλ=1−ε=4ν. This simple relation connects the nonlinear rheology to the elastic properties and the microscopic configurational distortion of the system. The relaxation of the LER is promoted by the large-step nonaffine particle displacement along the extensional direction of the shear geometry with the step length of 0.4 particle diameter. The elastic deformation and relaxation of the LER are ubiquitous and successive in the flow, which compose the fundamental process governing the bulk nonlinear viscoelasticity. We apply this model to analyze the rheo-small-angle neutron scattering data of sheared charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. It is seen that our model well explains the neutron spectra and the rheological data.
