Title: Length-scale dependent transport properties of colloidal and protein solutions for prediction of crystal nucleation rates
Abstract: We propose a scaling equation describing transport properties (diffusion viscosity) in the solutions of colloidal particles. We apply the to 23 different systems including colloids and proteins in size (range of diameters: 4 nm to 1 mu m), and volume (10(-3)-0.56). In solutions under study colloids/proteins via steric, hydrodynamic, van der Waals and/or electrostatic We implement contribution of those interactions into the law. Finally we use our scaling law together with the literature of the barrier for nucleation to predict crystal nucleation rates hard-sphere like colloids. The resulting crystal nucleation rates agree with existing experimental data.
