“…The most studied part of the phase diagram is the one at low salt concentration (usually samples are prepared in pure deionized water, C s ≃ 1 × 10 −4 M) and intermediate clay concentration (C w ≃ 3%). In this region several dynamical light scattering measurements have shown that the samples initially liquids age towards an arrested phase [2,3,4,5,6] but the mechanism of aggregation is not clear. The gel/glass state has been in fact attributed by different authors to Wigner glass transition [3], frustrated nematic transition [1,7,8,9], micro-segregation [1,10,11], gelation [12,13,14], etc..…”
