Short-time Dynamics of Frictional Strength in Dry Friction
... Each such rapid event provides a well-defined initiation point from which to study the evolution of both A and δ at each location along the front. Let us now consider the detailed dynamics of both A(X,t) and δ(X,t) before, throughout and after the passage of each precursor event at a selected locati ...

... The surface tension of a liquid is responsible for such everyday phenomena as the beading of rainwater and droplet formation and allows for the blowing of soap bubbles. It is responsible for the adhesion of liquids onto other surfaces and the contraction of surfaces to form spherical drops. ...

Surface-Assisted Assembly of 2D Metal
... Coordination-based supramolecular chemistry,[1] with its characteristic control of the self-assembly process and intrinsic defect tolerance, has been proven to be a very efficient synthetic tool to fabricate metallosupramolecular networks of well-defined topology in one, two, and three dimensions.[2 ...

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of the molecules Ekin must, of course, not exceed the binding energy Eb of the molecules on the surface otherwise the molecules would desorb from the surface. Finally, we need to consider the intermolecular interaction ...

Xerographic spectroscopy of gap states
... In the sensitization-exposure part of the xerographic cycle, as illustrated in Fig. 1.4, a photoreceptor film mounted on a grounded substrate is charged to a voltage V0 by corona then completely photodischarged by exposure to strongly absorbed light (absorption depth δ << L). Both the top corona con ...

Ultrahydrophobicity
Superhydrophobic surfaces are highly hydrophobic, i.e., extremely difficult to wet. The contact angles of a water droplet exceeds 150° and the roll-off angle/contact angle hysteresis is less than 10°. This is also referred to as the Lotus effect, after the superhydrophobic leaves of the lotus plant. Droplet impacting on these kind of surfaces can fully rebound like an elastic ball, or pancake.
