Scattering Signatures of Invasion Percolation

Jean-Christian Anglès d'Auriac, Pierre-Etienne Wolf

Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate the scattering properties of percolation clusters generated by numerical simulations on a three dimensional cubic lattice. Individua…

Direct observation of homogeneous cavitation in nanopores

V. Doebele, A. Benoit-Gonin, F. Souris +8

We report on the evaporation of hexane from porous alumina and silicon membranes. These membranes contain billions of independent nanopores tailored to an ink-bottle shape, where a…

Critical behavior of the liquid gas transition of 4 He confined in a silica aerogel

Geoffroy Aubry, Fabien Bonnet, Mathieu Melich +3

We have studied 4 He confined in a 95% porosity silica aerogel in the vicinity of the bulk liquid gas critical point. Both thermodynamic measurements and light scattering experimen…

Condensation of helium in aerogels and athermal dynamics of the Random Field Ising Model

Geoffroy Aubry, Fabien Bonnet, Mathieu Melich +4

High resolution measurements reveal that condensation isotherms of He in a silica aerogel become discontinuous below a critical temperature. We show that this behaviour does no…

Probing helium interfaces with light scattering : from fluid mechanics to statistical physics

Pierre-Etienne Wolf, Fabien Bonnet, Sylvain Perraud +3

We have investigated the formation of helium droplets in two physical situations. In the first one, droplets are atomised from superfluid or normal liquid by a fast helium vapour f…

A temperature-controlled device for volumetric measurements of Helium adsorption in porous media

Benjamin Cross, Laurent Puech, Pierre-Etienne Wolf

We describe a set-up for studying adsorption of helium in silica aerogels, where the adsorbed amount is easily and precisely controlled by varying the temperature of a gas reservoi…
