Liquid metal nanodroplet dynamics inside nanocontainers
Here we report direct observations of spatial movements of nanodroplets of Pb metal trapped inside sealed carbon nanocontainers. We find drastic changes in the mobility of the liquid droplets as the particle size increases from a few to a few ten nanometers. In open containers the droplet becomes immobile and readily evaporates to the vacuum environment. The particle mobility strongly depends o...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic liquid actuation and nanodroplet formation
Water, like any polarizable medium, responds to a nonuniform electric field by collecting preferentially in regions of maximum field intensity. This manifestation of dielectrophoresis ~DEP! makes possible a variety of microelectromechanical liquid actuation schemes. In particular, we demonstrate a new class of high-speed DEP actuators, including ‘‘wall-less’’ flow structures, siphons, and nanod...
متن کاملImpact dynamics of oxidized liquid metal drops.
With exposure to air, many liquid metals spontaneously generate an oxide layer on their surface. In oscillatory rheological tests, this skin is found to introduce a yield stress that typically dominates the elastic response but can be tuned by exposing the metal to hydrochloric acid solutions of different concentration. We systematically studied the normal impact of eutectic gallium-indium (eGa...
متن کاملCavitation bubble dynamics inside liquid drops in microgravity.
We studied spark-generated cavitation bubbles inside water drops produced in microgravity. High-speed visualizations disclosed unique effects of the spherical and nearly isolated liquid volume. In particular, (1) toroidally collapsing bubbles generate two liquid jets escaping from the drop, and the "splash jet" discloses a remarkable broadening. (2) Shock waves induce a strong form of secondary...
متن کاملA Novel Fabrication Technique for Developing Metal Nanodroplet Arrays
Metal in particle form is useful in fabrication of silicon nanowires [1], superlattice nanowires [2], colloidal solutions, biomedical applications [3,4], photonics [5] and sensors [6]. Incorporation of such research into manufacturing processes requires new research in fabrication processes for scalable and reproducible low cost arrays of nanoparticles. Exploiting known metallurgical sciences, ...
