abstract = {Despite our reasonably advanced understanding of the
dynamics and flow of glasses made of spherical colloids, the
role of shape, i.e., the respective behavior of glasses
formed by rodlike, particles is virtually unexplored.
Recently, long, thin and highly charged rods (fd-virus
particles) were found to vitrify in aqueous suspensions at
low ionic strength [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 015901 (2013)].
The glass transition of these long-ranged repulsive rods
occurs at a concentration far above the isotropic-nematic
coexistence region and is characterized by the unique arrest
of both the dynamics of domains that constitute the
chiral-nematic orientational texture, as well as individual
rods inside the domains. Hence, two relevant length scales
exist: the domain size of a few hundreds of microns, and the
rod-cage size of a few microns, inside the domains. We show
that the unique dual dynamic arrest and the existing of two
widely separated length scales imparts an unprecedented,
highly heterogeneous flow behavior with three distinct
signatures. Beyond a weak stress plateau at very small shear
rates that characterizes the glass, the kinetic arrest of
the domain dynamics gives rise to internal fracture, as a
result of domain-domain interactions, as well as wall
partial slip. It is shown that, on increasing the shear
rate, the fractured plug flow changes to a shear-banded flow
profile due to the stress response of the kinetically
arrested aligned rods within the domains. Shear-gradient
banding occurs due to the strong thinning of the uniform
chiral-nematic phase within the domains, i.e., complying
with the classic shear-banding scenario, giving rise to a
stress plateau in the flow curve. Finally, a linear
(uniform) velocity profile is found at the highest shear
rates. Vorticity banding is also observed at intermediate
and high shear rates. These results point to the crucial
role of particle shape in tailoring the flow properties of
dense colloidal suspensions. Moreover, they strongly support
the argument that the origin of shear banding in
soft-particle glasses with long-ranged repulsive
interactions is fundamentally different from that of
hard-particle glasses with short-ranged repulsive
interactions.},
