Dynamics of elastically strained islands in presence of an anisotropic surface energy
Guido Schifani, Médéric Argentina, Thomas Frisch
The equilibrium solutions and coarsening dynamics of strained semi-conductor islands are investigated analytically and numerically. We develop an analytical model to study the effe…
Shape and coarsening dynamics of strained islands
Guido Schifani, Thomas Frisch, Mederic Argentina +1
We investigate the formation and the coarsening dynamics of islands in a strained epitaxial semi-conductor film. These islands are commonly observed in thin films undergoing a morp…
Two dimensional Leidenfrost Droplets in a Hele Shaw Cell
Franck Celestini, Thomas Frisch, A. Cohen +3
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the behavior of Leidenfrost droplets inserted in a Hele-Shaw cell. As a result of the confinement from the two surfaces, the droplet…
Room temperature water Leidenfrost droplets
Franck Celestini, Thomas Frisch, Yves Pomeau
We experimentally investigate the Leidenfrost effect at pressures ranging from 1 to 0.05 atmospheric pressure. As a direct consequence of the Clausius-Clapeyron phase diagram of wa…
The Leidenfrost effect: from quasi-spherical droplets to puddles
Yves Pomeau, Martine Le Berre, Franck Celestini +1
In the framework of the lubrication approximation, we derive a set of equations describing the steady bottom profile of Leidenfrost drops coupled with the vapor pressure. This allo…
Take-off of small Leidenfrost droplets
Franck Celestini, Thomas Frisch, Yves Pomeau
We put in evidence the unexpected behaviour of Leidenfrost droplets at the later stage of their evaporation. We predict and observe that, below a critical size , the droplets…
