The suspensions of fd-virus particles are used as a model system for charged col- loidal rods, which exhibit several disorder-order (and liquid-crystalline) phase transitions. When a low AC electric field is applied to suspensions in isotropic-nematic coexistence concentration, with frequencies that are sufficiently low to polarize the electric double layer and the layer of condensed ions, various phases/states are induced: a chiral nematic, a dynamical state where ne- matic domains persistently melt and form, and a uniform homeotropic phase. A point in the field-amplitude versus frequency diagram, where various transitions lines meet, can be identified as a non-equilibrium critical point. Without an electric field, at high concentrations of charged fd-rods, various self-assembled orientation textures are found beyond the isotropic-nematic coex- istence regions, and a glass transition is observed on approach and within the glass state that are probed. The presented system exhibits transient behaviors of repulsive glasses and slow dynamics out of equilibrium.}, cin = {ICS-3}, ddc = {660}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)ICS-3-20110106}, pnm = {551 - Functional Macromolecules and Complexes (POF3-551)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-551}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, doi = {10.4236/aces.2015.51003}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/280392}, }
