Stability of liquid ridges on chemical micro- and nanostripes
S. Mechkov, M. Rauscher, S. Dietrich
We analyze the stability of sessile filaments (ridges) of nonvolatile liquids versus pearling in the case of externally driven flow along a chemical stripe within the framework of…
Contact line stability of ridges and drops
S. Mechkov, G. Oshanin, M. Rauscher +3
Within the framework of a semi-microscopic interface displacement model we analyze the linear stability of sessile ridges and drops of a non-volatile liquid on a homogeneous, parti…
Magnetization and susceptibility of ferrofluids
I. Szalai, S. Dietrich
A second-order Taylor series expansion of the free energy functional provides analytical expressions for the magnetic field dependence of the free energy and of the magnetization o…
Thermal noise influences fluid flow in thin films during spinodal dewetting
R. Fetzer, M. Rauscher, R. Seemann +2
Experiments on dewetting thin polymer films confirm the theoretical prediction that thermal noise can strongly influence characteristic time-scales of fluid flow and cause coarseni…
Motion of nanodroplets near chemical heterogeneities
A. Moosavi, M. Rauscher, S. Dietrich
We investigate the dynamics of nanoscale droplets in the vicinity of chemical steps which separate parts of a substrate with different wettabilities. Due to long-ranged dispersion…
Charge renormalization for effective interactions of colloids at water interfaces
D. Frydel, S. Dietrich, M. Oettel
We analyze theoretically the electrostatic interaction of surface-charged colloids at water interfaces with special attention to the experimentally relevant case of large charge de…
