Transport coefficients. (a) Quiescent elastic shear modulus as a function of the ratio and (inset), where ϕr is the packing fraction reduced by the random close packing fraction ϕRCP. (b) Shear viscosity and the product of elastic modulus and relaxation time as functions of reduced packing fraction. Data for 3D colloids are shown (line+symbol) for comparison. The viscosity under four different stresses is also shown. The inset shows the viscosity and the product in 3D in a wider range of (normal) packing fraction.
