abstract = {Electric fields can induce interactions between charged
colloids that lead to the formation of new phases and
dynamical states. In this presentation, the phase/state
behavior of very long and thin, highly charged rod-like
colloids (fd-virus particles) under oscillating external
electric fields is discussed. Fd-virus suspensions exhibit
an isotropic-nematic phase transition. For concentrations of
fd-virus particles within the two-phase isotropic-nematic
coexistence region, various field-induced phase transitions
and dynamical states are observed, depending on the
field-amplitude and frequency. A non-chiral nematic, a
chiral nematic, a homeotropically aligned homogeneous phase,
and a dynamical state where non-chiral nematic domains
persistently melt and form are observed. The molecular
origin of the various phases is discussed, and a
semi-quantitative theory is presented for the dynamical
state.},
