Molecular dynamics study on helium nanobubbles in water.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interfacial properties of helium nanobubbles in water at normal conditions have been investigated using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations for systems including over one million atoms. The surface tension of a helium nanobubble is a convex function with respect to the bubble radius, and is estimated to vanish at a critical radius of approximately 1 nm.

Removal of nanoparticles from plain and patterned surfaces using nanobubbles.
It is the aim of this paper to quantitatively characterize the capability of surface nanobubbles for surface cleaning, i.e., removal of nanodimensioned polystyrene particles from the surface. We adopt two types of substrates: plain and nanopatterned (trench/ridge) silicon wafer. The method used to generate nanobubbles on the surfaces is the so-called alcohol-water exchange process (use water to...
متن کاملDependence of the shape of graphene nanobubbles on trapped substance
Van der Waals (vdW) interaction between two-dimensional crystals (2D) can trap substances in high pressurized (of order 1 GPa) on nanobubbles. Increasing the adhesion between the 2D crystals further enhances the pressure and can lead to a phase transition of the trapped material. We found that the shape of the nanobubble can depend critically on the properties of the trapped substance. In the a...
متن کاملExplicit and implicit modeling of nanobubbles in hydrophobic confinement.
Water at normal conditions is a fluid thermodynamically close to the liquid-vapor phase coexistence and features a large surface tension. This combination can lead to interesting capillary phenomena on microscopic scales. Explicit water molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations of hydrophobic solutes, for instance, give evidence of capillary evaporation on nanometer scales, i.e., the formati...
متن کاملFormation of surface nanobubbles and the universality of their contact angles: a molecular dynamics approach.
We study surface nanobubbles using molecular dynamics simulation of ternary (gas, liquid, solid) systems of Lennard-Jones fluids. They form for a sufficiently low gas solubility in the liquid, i.e., for a large relative gas concentration. For a strong enough gas-solid attraction, the surface nanobubble is sitting on a gas layer, which forms in between the liquid and the solid. This gas layer is...
متن کاملTIRF Microscopy for the Study of Nanobubble Dynamics
Nanobubbles can be observed with optical microscopy using the total internal re ection uorescence (TIRF) excitation. We report on TIRF visualization using Rhodamine 6G at 5μM concentration which results to strongly contrasted pictures. The preferential absorption and the high spatial resolution allow to detect nanobubbles with diameters of 230 nm and above. We resolve the nucleation dynamics du...
