Abstract
In this thesis, we developed ideas to control the structure and the dynamics
of colloidal suspensions by manipulating the boundary conditions
and applying external elds. The aforementioned manipulations
of colloidal
uids not only provide opportunities to improve
our understanding of fundamental physical phenomena, but also initiate
ideas for developing advanced materials. External control over
colloidal suspensions with hard-sphere like interactions -arguably the
simplest model system for soft matter studies- can be evoked to tune
the interplay between structure and dynamics for both equilibrium
and out-of-equilibrium systems. Interplay between structure and dynamics
is commonly encountered in Soft Matter systems including
but not limited to colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, polyelectrolydes
and proteins.
