Simulation of Colloidal Particle Scattering: Sensitivity to Attractive Forces.
Colloidal particle scattering is a recently developed method for the determination of surface forces between micrometer-sized particles. In this paper we extend earlier simulation studies to interactions of the DLVO type including purely attractive potentials. We examine the criteria for capture and compare simulated results for a range of interaction parameters. We find that the scattering patterns can be represented in a simple way once a correction for angular distortion has been applied. This representation should aid the analysis and interpretation of experimental data. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
