Title: Electrohydrodynamic instabilities in thin liquid trilayer films

Abstract

Experiments by Dickey and Leach show that novel pillar shapes can be generated from electrohydrodynamic instabilities at the interfaces of thin polymer/polymer/air trilayer films. In this paper, we use linear stability analysis to investigate the effect of free charge and ac electric fields on the stability of trilayer systems. Our work is also motivated by our recent theoretical study which demonstrates how ac electric fields can be used to increase control over the pillar formation process in thin liquid bilayer films. For perfect dielectric films, the effect of an AC electric field can be understood by considering an equivalent DC field. Leaky dielectric films yield pillar configurations that are drastically different from perfect dielectric films, and AC fields can be used to control the location of free charge within the trilayer system. This can alter the pillar instability modes and generate smaller diameter pillars when conductivities are mismatched. The results presented may be of interest for the creation of complex topographical patterns on polymer coatings and in microelectronics.

Electrohydrodynamic instabilities in thin trilayer liquid films.

Conference Roberts, Scott A ; Kumar, Satish

When DC or AC electric fields are applied to a thin liquid film, the interface may become unstable and form a series of pillars. We examine how the presence of a second liquid interface influences pillar dynamics and morphologies. For perfect dielectric films, linear stability analysis of a lubrication-approximation-based model shows that the root mean square voltage governs the pillar behavior. For leaky dielectric films, Floquet theory is applied to carry out the linear stability analysis, and reveals that the accumulation of free charge at each interface depends on the conductivities in the adjoining phases and that high frequencies ofmore »« less
Highly Contrasting Static Charging and Bias Stress Effects in Pentacene Transistors with Polystyrene Heterostructures Incorporating Oxidizable N , N '-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline Side Chains as Gate Dielectrics

Journal Article Zhang, Qingyang ; Kale, Tejaswini S. ; Plunkett, Evan ; ... - Macromolecules

Charge storage and trapping properties of polymer dielectrics govern the charge densities of adjacent semiconductors and greatly influence the on-off switching voltage (threshold voltage, V_th) of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) when the polymers are used as gate insulators. Intentional charging of polymer dielectrics in OFETs can change V_th and affect the bias stress. We describe a chemical design and fabrication protocol to construct multilayer-stack dielectrics for pentacene-based OFETs using different polystyrene (PS)-based polymers in each layer, with oxidizable N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)anilino (TPAOMe)-substituted styrene copolymers in arbitrary vertical positions in the stacks. Thermal, byproduct-free crosslinking of benzocyclobutene subunits provides integrity to the multilayermore »« less

Journal Article Maurya, Deepam ; Priya, Shashank ; Wongdamnern, Natthapong ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

In this paper, we report the dielectric and ferroelectric response of compositionally graded bilayer and trilayer composites consisting of BaTiO{sub 3} (BT) and 0.975BaTiO{sub 3}-0.025Ba(Cu{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3} (BTBCN). Two types of graded bilayer samples were synthesized, one with same thickness of BT and BTBCN while other with different layer thicknesses. The graded trilayer sample consisted of BT layer sandwiched between two BTBCN layers of equal thickness. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed a sharp interface with needle-shape domains across the interface. The domain size on BT side was found to be larger than that on BTBCNmore »« less

Electrohydrodynamic solitons in Kelvin-Helmholtz flow. The case of a normal field in the absence of surface charges

Journal Article El Shehawey, E S.F. - Q. Appl. Math.; (United States)

Nonlinear electrohydrodynamic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability conditions are investigated. A charge-free surface separating two semi-infinite dielectric streaming fluids influenced by a normal electric field is subjected to nonlinear deformations. The method of multiple scale perturbations is used in order to obtain two nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equations describing the behavior of the disturbed system. The stability and instability conditions of the perturbed system are discussed analytically. One of the two NLS is used to obtain the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) nonlinear cut-off wavenumber separating stable and unstable disturbances while the other equation is used to describe analytically the necessary condition for stability and instability formore »« less
A study of free-surface electrohydrodynamics

Miscellaneous Kaiser, K L

Free-surface electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is a complex phenomena that is difficult to describe, explain, and predict. An analytical and numerical study is performed to assist in the understanding of free-surface EHD. Rayleigh-type critical charge relationships are derived for spherical droplets of perfect and imperfect insulative liquids. Also, mathematical models and a simulator are developed to analyze free-surface EHD in two dimensions. Several configurations are investigated with the simulator. Analytical results indicate that if charge is uniformly dispersed throughout a spherical droplet of perfectly insulating fluid, breakup is possible. If the dielectric constant of the liquid is approximately equal to that ofmore »« less
