Toward controlling wetting hysteresis with nanostructured surfaces derived from block copolymer self-assembly

Journal Article Al Hossain, Aktaruzzaman ; Dick, Austin ; Doerk, Gregory ; ... - Nanotechnology

The synthesis of nanostructured surfaces via block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly enables a precise control of the surface feature shape within a range of dimensions of the order of tens of nanometers. Herein, this work studies how to exploit this ability to control the wetting hysteresis and liquid adhesion forces as the substrate undergoes chemical aging and changes in its intrinsic wettability. Via BCP self-assembly we fabricate nanostructured surfaces on silicon substrates with a hexagonal array of regular conical pillars having a fixed period (52 nm) and two different heights (60 and 200 nm), which results in substantially different lateral andmore »« less

Thermal fluctuations of thin wetting films on disordered solids

Journal Article Harden, J L ; Andelman, D - Langmuir; (United States)

We consider thin liquid layers which completely wet nonideal (either rough or heterogeneous in composition) solid surfaces. Two different sources of fluctuations of the liquid surface are identified, and the competition between them is investigated. For thick enough films (but still in the submicrometer range), the liquid surface fluctuations are dominated by thermally induced capillary waves. For thin films, capillary waves are strongly damped and the liquid surface fluctuations are correlated with the disorder of the underlying solid surface. The fluctuation spectrum is explicitly calculated for a van der Waals liquid and for several different types of solid disorder. Ourmore »« less

Ultrathin Alumina Film Al-Sublattice Structure, Metal Island Nucleation at Terrace Point Defects, and How Hydroxylation Affects Wetting

Conference Bogicevic, A ; Jennison, D R

In this paper, we include for discussion three topics of current interest in metal oxide surface science. Using first principles density functional theory (DFT) [1] calculations, we have investigated: (1) the atomic-scale structure of experimentally-relevant ultrathin alumina films, (2) the role of common point defects in metal island nucleation on oxide terraces, and (3) the growth and morphology of metals on oxide surfaces which have high concentrations of a common impurity.

Thermoelectric Performance in Disordered Cu2ZnSnSe4 Nanostructures Driven by Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity

Journal Article Mukherjee, Binayak ; Isotta, Eleonora ; Malagutti, Marcelo Augusto ; ... - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

High-energy reactive mechanical alloying (ball milling) was used to synthesize tetragonal and cubic polymorphs of Cu2ZnSnSe4. The ordered tetragonal (I-4) polymorph undergoes a phase transition above 400 K into a Cu-Zn disordered tetragonal (I-42m) polymorph, while the cubic (F-43m) polymorph with full cation disorder is stabilized at room temperature. Both polymorphs show ultra-low thermal conductivities, 0.42 W m-1 K-1 at 722 K and 0.21 W m-1 K-1 at 523 K for the disordered tetragonal and cubic phases respectively. The cubic polymorph has a higher zT in the low-temperature range, peaking at 0.26 (523 K), while the disordered tetragonal has amore »« less
