Transport properties of overheated electrons trapped on a Helium surface
F. Closa, E. Raphael, A. D. Chepelianskii
An ultra-strong photovoltaic effect has recently been reported for electrons trapped on a liquid Helium surface under a microwave excitation tuned at intersubband resonance [D. Kon…
Intermediate Asymptotics of the Capillary-Driven Thin Film Equation
Michael Benzaquen, Thomas Salez, Élie Raphaël
We present an analytical and numerical study of the two-dimensional capillary-driven thin film equation. In particular, we focus on the intermediate asymptotics of its solutions. L…
Capillary-driven flow induced by a stepped perturbation atop a viscous film
Thomas Salez, Joshua D. McGraw, Oliver Bäumchen +2
Thin viscous liquid films driven by capillarity are well described in the lubrication theory through the thin film equation. In this article, we present an analytical solution of t…
Numerical solutions of thin film equations for polymer flows
Thomas Salez, Joshua D. McGraw, Sara L. Cormier +3
We report on the numerical implementation of thin film equations that describe the capillary-driven evolution of viscous films, in two-dimensional configurations. After recalling t…
Liquid Hertz Contact: softness of weakly deformed drops on non-wetting substrates
Frédéric Chevy, Alexei Chepelianskii, David Quéré +1
The behavior of weakly deformed drops on non wetting surfaces is usually described using linear models. We show that these simple pictures cannot account for measurements of the dy…
Beyond Tanner's Law: Crossover between Spreading Regimes of a Viscous Droplet on an Identical Film
Sara L. Cormier, Joshua D. McGraw, Thomas Salez +2
We present results on the leveling of polymer microdroplets on thin films prepared from the same material. In particular, we explore the crossover from a droplet spreading on an in…
