The movement of particles in a colloidal suspension is the property we use in order to characterize the size distribution (via the Stokes-Einstein equation). We'll look at diffusion including the random Brownian motion that we require for valid application of the equation but also outlining scenarios where such random motion does not occur (e.g. in nematic liquid crystals) where other interesting information can be obtained.
