Direct measurement of colloidal forces
Abstract
We present a novel approach that allows us to directly determine the force-distance law between tiny colloidal particles. Our technique exploits the fact that the anisotropy of the forces between dipoles causes particles to form chains. Because chains give rise to a strong Bragg diffraction of the visible light, the interdroplet spacing is accurately measured. Moreover, because the attractive dipolar magnetic force can be varied through the intensity of the external field, the balancing repulsive force can also be measured at various spacings. We give first evidence of the feasibility of this approach by using monodisperse magnetic emulsions under magnetic field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
