Investigations of solid liquid interfaces in ultra-thin liquid films via single particle tracking of colloidal particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single particle tracking with a wide field microscope is used to study the solid liquid interface between the viscous liquid tetrakis(2-ethylhexoxy)-silane and a silicon dioxide surface. Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (5 nm diameter) marked with the fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G are used as probes. The distributions of diffusion coefficients, obtained by mean squared displacements, reveal heterogeneities with at least two underlying diffusion components. Measurements on films with varying film thicknesses show that the slower component is independent of the film thickness, while the faster one increases with the film thickness. Additionally, we could show that the diffusion behavior of the particles cannot be sufficiently described by only two diffusion coefficients. keywords: diffusion, single particle tracking, squared displacements, msd, csdd, hydrodynamic boundary conditions, ultra-thin liquid films

متن کاملInvestigation of solid liquid interface in ultra-thin liquid films via single particle tracking of colloidal particles
It has been well known for some years that thin liquid films form layered structures near smooth surfaces and free interfaces [1]. Thereby it is apparent that the dynamical properties of these films differ from those of bulk liquids. Besides the altered film structure, films at interfaces will be subject to hydrodynamic boundary conditions (HBC) [2]. We used 5 nm silica particles doped with Rho...
متن کاملColloidal particles in liquid crystal films and at interfaces
This mini-review discusses the recent contribution of theoretical and computational physics as well as experimental efforts to the understanding of the behavior of colloidal particles in confined geometries and at liquid crystalline interfaces. Theoretical approaches used to study trapping, longand short-range interactions, and assembly of solid particles and liquid inclusions are outlined. As ...
متن کاملMelting of colloidal crystal films.
We study melting mechanisms in single and polycrystalline colloidal films composed of diameter-tunable microgel spheres with short-ranged repulsive interactions and confined between two glass walls. Thick films (>4 layers), thin-films (≤4 layers), and monolayers exhibit different melting behaviors. Thick films melt from grain boundaries in polycrystalline solid films and from film-wall interfac...
متن کاملEffect of colloidal Particles associated with the liquid bridge in sticking during drying in Superheated Steam
It is very important in the design of a drying system is to evaluate sticking behaviour of the materials goes under drying. A new approach to the sticking issue is applied in this study by carrying out a sticking test for the liquid associated with the materials under study. It was found that the liquid bridge is responsible of the initial sticking of the materials to the contact surface and th...
