Morphological wetting transitions at ring-shaped surface domains.
The wetting behavior of ring-shaped (or annular) surface domains is studied both experimentally and theoretically. The ring-shaped domains are lyophilic and embedded in a lyophobic substrate. Liquid droplets deposited on these domains can attain a variety of morphologies depending on the liquid volume and on the dimensions of the ringlike surface domains. In the experiments, the liquid volume i...
متن کاملMorphological transitions of liquid droplets on circular surface domains.
We study morphological transitions of droplets on a structured substrate containing two circular lyophilic domains for arbitrary domain and substrate wettabilities. We derive the stability criterion that at least one of the droplets must be pinned at the domain boundary with a contact angle smaller than (pi)/(2). This determines seven classes of stable or metastable droplet morphologies of the ...
متن کاملSurface Effects On Wetting and Layering Transitions
Wetting phenomena plays an interesting role in the technological development of materials. Recently, much attention has been directed to the study of magnetic solid films. To understand, theoretically, the effect of surface on wetting and layering transitions in these systems, we will give in this chapter a presentation of several relevant recent theoretical works realized on wetting and layeri...
متن کاملSolid-state wetting transitions at grain boundaries
A previously developed model of the dependence of grain boundary (GB) segregation on GB character has been exercised to investigate solid-state wetting transitions at GBs, and their anisotropy. In the case of binary systems displaying a solid-state miscibility gap, it is shown that the wetting transition temperature for precipitates at a GB is anisotropic, and is inversely related to GB energy....
متن کاملSurface coupling effect on wetting and layering transitions
The effect of both surface coupling Js and surface magnetic field Hs on the dependency of the layering temperature TL as a function of the thickness N , of a spin−1/2 Ising film is studied using mean field theory. It is found that for Js greater than a critical value (Jsc = 1.30), the layering temperature decreases when the film thickness N increases for any values of Hs. While, for Js < Jsc, t...
