  This proposal aims to improve our understanding of rotational diffusion in colloidal glasses. Specifically, first we plan to develop simple strategies for the synthesis of colloidal clusters and other non-spherical colloidal particles. Subsequently, we plan to perform fundamental investigations of rotational diffusion in colloidal glasses by optical microscopy and simulations. These inves…
