Ultrathin liquid films under alternating intermolecular potential fields and capillary force
A unique experimental system is devised that reveals the interplay among capillary force and alternating intermolecular forces. As a consequence of the interplay, untrathin ~,10 nm! liquid films, which invariably experience dewetting, can be made stable, leading to a smooth and dropless minimum-potential surface. Theory and experiment show that the film thickness is ,1 nm when the film recedes ...
متن کاملStick-slip friction and nucleation dynamics of ultrathin liquid films
We develop a theory for stick-slip motion in ultrathin liquid films confined between two moving atomically flat surfaces. Our model is based on the hydrodynamic equation for flow coupled to the dynamic order parameter field describing the ‘‘shear melting and freezing’’ of the confined fluid. This model successfully accounts for the observed phenomenology of friction in ultrathin films, includin...

متن کاملCapillary models for liquid crystal fibers, membranes, films, and drops
This paper presents an overview of the capillary modeling science of nematic liquid crystals and its applications to the stability, structure, and shape of films, membranes, fibers, and drops. Liquid crystals are anisotropic viscoelastic materials possessing long range orientational order, and hence these models are relevant to the capillary science of anisotropic soft matter. A systematic mult...
متن کاملFractional Fokker-Planck subdiffusion in alternating force fields.
The fractional Fokker-Planck equation for subdiffusion in time-dependent force fields is derived from the underlying continuous time random walk. Its limitations are discussed and it is then applied to the study of subdiffusion under the influence of a time-periodic rectangular force. As a main result, we show that such a force does not affect the universal scaling relation between the anomalou...
