Anomalous Front Broadening During Spontaneous Imbibition in a Matrix with Elongated Pores
Simon Gruener, Zeinab Sadjadi, Helen E. Hermes +4
During spontaneous imbibition a wetting liquid is drawn into a porous medium by capillary forces. In systems with comparable pore length and diameter, such as paper and sand, the f…
Capillary Condensation, Freezing, and Melting in Silica Nanopores: A Sorption Isotherm and Scanning Calorimetry Study on Nitrogen in Mesoporous SBA-15
Sebastian T. Moerz, Klaus Knorr, Patrick Huber
Condensation, melting and freezing of nitrogen in a powder of mesoporous silica grains (SBA-15) has been studied by combined volumetric sorption isotherm and scanning calorimetry m…
Transition from van-der-Waals to H Bonds dominated Interaction in n-Propanol physisorbed on Graphite
Matthias Wolff, Frank Kruchten, Patrick Huber +2
Multilayer sorption isotherms of 1-propanol on graphite have been measured by means of high-resolution ellipsometry within the liquid regime of the adsorbed film for temperatures r…
Orientational Order in Liquids upon Condensation in Nanochannels: An Optical Birefringence Study on Rodlike and Disclike Molecules in Monolithic Mesoporous Silica
Matthias Wolff, Klaus Knorr, Patrick Huber +1
We present high-resolution optical birefringence measurements upon sequential filling of an array of parallel-aligned nanochannels (14~nm mean diameter) with rod-like (acetonitrile…
Polymorphism of the glass former ethanol confined in mesoporous silicon
Anke Henschel, Klaus Knorr, Patrick Huber
X-ray diffraction patterns of ethanol confined in parallel-aligned channels of approx. 10 nm diameter and 50 micrometer length in mesoporous silicon have been recorded as a functio…
Criticality of an isotropic-to-smectic transition induced by anisotropic quenched disorder
Gilbert Chahine, Andriy V. Kityk, Klaus Knorr +4
We report combined optical birefringence and neutron scattering measurements on the liquid crystal 12CB nanoconfined in mesoporous silicon layers. This liquid crystal exhibits stro…
