Symmetry breaking in self-assembled monolayers on solid surfaces: Anisotropic surface stress
This paper models the self-assembly dynamics of a two-phase monolayer on an elastic substrate. The two phases coarsen to reduce the phase boundary energy and refine to reduce the elastic energy. To minimize the total free energy, the two phases can order into nanoscale patterns. We combine the continuum phase field model of spinodal decomposition and the anisotropic surface stress. The numerica...
متن کاملRipening of surface phases coupled with oscillatory dynamics and self-induced spatial chaos through surface roughening.
Some pattern formation processes on single-crystal catalytic surfaces involve transitions between alternative surface phases coupled with oscillatory reaction dynamics. We describe a two-tier symmetry-breaking model of this process, based on nanoscale boundary dynamics interacting with oscillations of adsorbate coverage on microscale. The surface phase distribution oscillates together with adso...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking in self-assembled monolayers on solid surfaces. II. Anisotropic substrate elasticity
On a solid surface a monolayer mixture may separate into two phases. The phases can self-assemble into a variety of patterns, with the feature size on the scale of 1–100 nm. This paper studies how the elastic anisotropy of the substrate affects the patterns. The substrate is taken to be of cubic crystal symmetry, although the method developed can be readily extended to treat substrates of any o...

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملFlow induced patterning at the air–water interface
Patterns on the air–water interface of a swirling cylinder flow are produced via hydrodynamic symmetry-breaking instability of the bulk flow. The patterns are rotating waves breaking the axisymmetry of the system and are longitudinal at the free surface ~i.e., not surface deforming!. Qualitative observations and quantitative measurements of velocity and vorticity are provided. Three-dimensional...
