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…
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…
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…
Stretching an adsorbed polymer globule
Franck Celestini, Thoma Frisch, Xabier Oyharcabal
Using molecular dynamic simulation, we study the stretching of an adsorbed homopolymer in a poor solvent with one end held at a distance from the substrate. We measure the ve…
