Figure 1

Simultaneous rheology and x-ray scattering measurement.

(a) Schematic of the experimental setup. The synchrotron beam passes through the sheared suspension while the rheometer measures the stress-strain relation. Inset illustrates the shear direction with respect to the incident beam direction. (b) Nearest-neighbour peak position of the structure factor (left axis, blue) together with the applied shear stress (right axis, green) during shear and relaxation. Data shows the volume fraction Ï• = 58% at the shear rate . Inset shows the structure factor S(q). (c) Half-width of the first peak of the structure factor (left axis, blue) and the applied shear stress (right axis, green) during the same experiment. Inset shows the corresponding peak height S1.
