Catastrophic thermal destabilization of two-dimensional close-packed emulsions due to synchronized coalescence initiation
Samira Abedi, Chau-Chyun Chen, Siva A. Vanapalli
The mechanisms for phase separation in highly concentrated emulsions when subjected to a thermal phase transition remain to be elucidated. Here, we create a hexagonally close-packe…

Collective Nucleation Dynamics in Two-dimensional Emulsions with Hexagonal Packing
Samira Abedi, Chau-Chyun Chen, Siva A. Vanapalli
We report a new mechanism for nucleation in a monolayer of hexagonally packed monodisperse droplet arrays. Upon cooling, we observe solidified droplets to nucleate their supercoole…
