Oxide-Free Actuation of Gallium Liquid Metal Alloys Enabled by Novel Acidified Siloxane Oils.
Electrowetting and electrocapillarity of liquid metals have a long history, and a recent explosion of renewed interest. Liquid metals have electromagnetic properties and surface tensions (>500 mN/m) that enable new forms of reconfigurable devices. However, the only nontoxic option, gallium alloys, suffer from immediate formation of a semirigid surface oxide. Although acids or electrochemical re...
متن کاملTayler instability in liquid metal columns and liquid metal batteries
In this paper we investigate the Tayler instability in an incompressible, viscous and resistive liquid metal column and in a model of a liquid metal battery (LMB). Detailed comparisons between theory and numerics, both in linear and nonlinear regimes, are performed. We identify the timescale that is well adapted to the quasi-static (QS) regime and find the range of Hartmann numbers where this a...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Multi-Stage Electroosmotic Flow Pump Using Liquid Metal Electrodes
Injection of liquid metal into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channel can provide a simple, cheap, and fast method to fabricate a noncontact electrode for micro electroosmotic flow (EOF) pumps. In this study, a multi-stage EOF pump using liquid metal noncontact electrodes was proposed and demonstrated for high-flow-velocity applications. To test the pumping performance of this EOF pump and measu...
متن کاملMagneto-Hydrodynamic Numerical Study of DC Electromagnetic Pump for Liquid Metal
In this work, the results are presented of a 3D numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of direct current (DC) electromagnetic pump for liquid aluminum at large Reynolds number under externally imposed non-uniform magnetic field. The formulation of the magneto hydrodynamic model has been derived from the Reynolds-Averaged NavierStokes equations with standard k-ε turbulence model coupled...
متن کاملLiquid-Crystal-Enabled Active Plasmonics: A Review
Liquid crystals are a promising candidate for development of active plasmonics due to their large birefringence, low driving threshold, and versatile driving methods. We review recent progress on the interdisciplinary research field of liquid crystal based plasmonics. The research scope of this field is to build the next generation of reconfigurable plasmonic devices by combining liquid crystal...
