Electrowetting of a soap bubble
Steve Arscott
A proof-of-concept demonstration of the electrowetting-on-dielectric of a sessile soap bubble is reported here. The bubbles are generated using a commercial soap bubble mixture - t…
Wetting of soap bubbles on hydrophilic, hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces
Steve Arscott
Wetting of sessile bubbles on solid and liquid surfaces has been studied. A model is presented for the contact angle of a sessile bubble based on a modified Young equation - the ex…
Electrowetting on a semiconductor
Steve Arscott, Matthieu Gaudet
We report electrowetting on a semiconductor using of a mercury droplet resting on a silicon surface. The effect is demonstrated using commercial n-type and p-type single-crystal (1…
"Actuation at a distance" of microelectromechanical systems using photoelectrowetting: proof-of-concept
Matthieu Gaudet, Steve Arscott
We demonstrate here a proof-of-concept experiment that microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can be actuated using photoelectrowetting. In order to demonstrate this, a 30 μm thick…
A snapshot of electrified nanodroplets
Steve Arscott, Cedric Descatoire, Lionel Buchaillot +1
We investigate the size distribution of electrically charged nanodroplets. The droplets were generated using nano- and micro- scale silicon tips. A brief voltage pulse results in a…
Moving liquids with light: Photoelectrowetting on semiconductors
Steve Arscott
Liquid transport in microchip-based systems is important in many areas such as Laboratory-on-a-chip, Microfluidics and Optofluidics. Actuation of liquids in such systems is usually…
