Fluidization of wet granular matter
Dimitrios Geromichalos, Mario Scheel, Stephan Herminghaus
We have studied the effect of small amounts of added liquid on the dynamic behavior of a granular system consisting of spherical glass beads. The critical acceleration for flui…
The number of capillary bridges in a wet granular medium
Dimitrios Geromichalos, Mika M. Kohonen, Mario Scheel +1
We observed the appearance of capillary bridges in a granular medium consisting of glass beads after adding small amounts of liquid. We found the initial bridge formation depending…
A Universal Nucleation Mechanism for Solvent Cast Polymer Film Rupture
Daniel Podzimek, Annemarie Saier, Ralf Seemann +2
It is shown that the intrinsic stress in solvent cast polymer coatings plays a key role in the nucleation of holes in the film. Nucleation is important because it is meanwhile clea…
A Transient Instability in Thin Films of nCB Liquid Crystals
Stefan Schlagowski, Karin Jacobs, Stephan Herminghaus
A transient surface instability is reported in thin nematic films of 5CB and 8CB, occurring near the nematic-isotropic phase transition. Although this instability leads to patterns…
