abstract = {We report on a detailed experimental study of the structure
and short-time dynamics in fluid-regime suspensions of soft
core-shell sphericalparticles with different molecular
weights of the chains forming the soft outer shell, and
therefore different degrees of particle softness,using 3D
dynamic light scattering (3D-DLS). Owing to the particle
softness, the liquid-crystal coexistence regime is found to
be broader thanthat of hard-sphere (HS) suspensions. Static
light scattering in the dilute regime yields form factors
that can be described using a sphericalcore-shell model and
second virial coefficients A2 > 0 indicative of purely
repulsive interactions. The particle-particle interactions
are longerranged for all considered systems except those of
the smaller molecular weight chain grafted particles which
show a HS-like behavior. 3D-DLSexperiments in the
concentrated regime up to the liquid-crystal transition
provide the short-time diffusion function, D(q), in a broad
range ofscattering wavenumbers, q, from which the structural
(cage) and short-time self-diffusion coefficients D(qm) and
DS = D(q≫qm), respectively,are deduced as functions of the
effective particle volume fraction, ϕ = c/c∗, where c∗
is the overlap concentration, calculated using the
hydrodynamicparticle radius, RH. The size of the
nearest-neighbor cage of particles is characterized by
2π/qm, with D(q) and the static structurefactor S(q)
attaining at qm the smallest and largest values,
respectively. Experimental data of D(qm) and DS are
contrasted with analytic theoreticalpredictions based on a
simplifying hydrodynamic radius model where the internal
hydrodynamic structure of the core-shell particlesis mapped
on a single hydrodynamic radius parameter γ = RH/Reff , for
constant direct interactions characterized by an (effective)
hard-coreradius Reff . The particle softness is reflected,
in particular, in the corresponding shape of the static
structure factor, while the mean solvent(Darcy) permeability
of the particles related to γ is reflected in the dynamic
properties only. For grafted particles with longer polymer
chains,D(qm) and DS are indicative of larger permeability
values while particles with shorter chains are practically
nonpermeable. The particle softnessis also evident in the
effective random close packing fraction estimated from the
extrapolated zero-value limit of the cage diffusion
coefficientD(qm).},
