Small-world rheology: an introduction to probe-based active microrheology

Abstract: We introduce active, probe-based microrheological techniques for measuring the flow and deformation of complex fluids. These techniques are ideal for mechanical characterization either when little sample is available, or when samples show significant spatial heterogeneity. We review recent results, paying particular attention to comparing and contrasting rheological parameters obtained from micro- and macro-rheological techniques.

“…This is an example, similar to others recently pointed out in [7,8], of how the response to an external field may feature anomalous effects in the case of nonlinear dynamics. These topics can find application for instance in probebased microrheology, for the study of the motion of a tracer particle in a disordered system when an external force is applied [9]. We remark that, for our heterogeneous systems, the Einstein relation established in [10,11,12,13,14] proves a proportionality between x 2 (t) and the drift x(t) ǫ , where .…”

“…The TP dynamics is different from that of the adsorbed particles in two aspects: first, it can not desorb from the lattice and second, it is subject to an external driving force E, which favors its jumps along the direction corresponding to the unit vector e 1 of the lattice. Physically, such a situation is realized in the context of active microrheology where the force on the TP is classically exerted by magnetic tweezers [1].…”

“…One measures then the response of the TP and potentially the microstructural deformations of the medium to learn about its microrheological properties. From the theoretical point of view, an unresolved issue, which is disregarded in the available continuous analytical approaches, is to take into account explicitly the discreteness or "granularity" of the medium [1]. This aspect becomes crucial when the probe and the medium particles have comparable sizes, e.g.…”

“…In active microrheology, the properties of a medium are probed using the mobility and velocity fluctuations of an externally driven probe particle that is roughly the same size as the particles that comprise the medium [1][2][3][4] . For example, the nonlinear mobility of a probe particle dragged through a colloidal system changes across the glass transition [5][6][7][8] .…”
