Differential capacitance of liquid/liquid interfaces of finite thicknesses: a finite element study

Hubert Girault, Dmitry Momotenko, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira

Finite element simulations were used to investigate the effect of a smooth variation of permittivity across a polarized liquid/liquid interface on the differential capacitance. The results show that a relative permittivity profile can account for the varia ...

Haptic glove for virtual reality using magneto-rheological fluid actuators

Gabriel Safar

As computer technologies improve year by year, advanced and intuitive user interfaces become increasingly necessary to allow proper manipulation of various types of programs, in different fields and markets. In the case of haptic glove devices, a fraction ...

Influence of anisotropy on heterogeneous nucleation

Michel Rappaz, Aurèle Mariaux

Heterogeneous nucleation is governed by the interplay of interfacial energies between a substrate, a solid and a liquid. Although the intensity of these energies can strongly change with the orientation of the nucleus for anisotropic media, this parameter ...

Direct mapping of the solid-liquid adhesion energy with subnanometre resolution

Francesco Stellacci, Kislon Voitchovsky

Solid-liquid interfaces play a fundamental role in surface electrochemistry(1), catalysis(2), wetting(3), self-assembly(4) and biomolecular functions(5). The interfacial energy determines many of the properties of such interfaces, including the arrangement ...

Geometrical Monte Carlo model of liquid-phase sintering

Aitor Luque Gomez

Liquid-phase sintering (LPS) is an industrial process used to consolidate materials composed of two different kinds of metallic and/or ceramic powders. At constant temperature, the amount of the present liquid-phase is constant. However, the shape of parti ...

Sum frequency generation for studying plasma-wall interactions

Sylvie Roke

Interaction of a plasma with a surface results in chemical and physical restructuring of the surface as well as the plasma in the vicinity of the surface. Studying such a reorganization of the atoms and molecules in the surface layer requires optical tools ...

Surface optofluidics

Demetri Psaltis, Andreas Vasdekis, Wuzhou Song, Jae-Woo Choi, Julien Cuennet, Luciano De Sio

Surfaces -defined as the interfaces between solids and liquids- have attracted much attention in optics and biology, such as total internal reflection imaging (TIRF) and DNA microarrays. Within the context of optofluidics however, surfaces have received li ...

Lateral Capillary Forces of Cylindrical Fluid Menisci: A Comprehensive Quasi-Static Study

Massimo Mastrangeli

Capillarity is pivotal to many important technologies, including capillary self-alignment and self-assembly for heterogeneous microsystem integration and packaging. Lateral capillary forces ensuing from perturbed fluid menisci were the object of substantia ...
