Topographic control of order in quasi-2D granular phase transitions

摘要:

我们实验研究了准二维颗粒流体中二维相变的性质。使用周期性间隔的凹坑装饰的表面,我们观察共存的液体和晶体相之间的界面张力。取向和平移序参量和相关的结晶度的测量表明,表面形貌改变的相变的顺序从一个两步连续的一个一阶液晶之一。边界的非弹性和几何形状的相互作用,无论是促进或抑制,控制润湿的粒状晶体/流体。这种顺序诱导的润湿具有重要的后果,决定了共存相在空间上如何分离。

英文摘要:

We experimentally investigate the nature of 2D phase transitions in a quasi-2D granular fluid. Using a surface decorated with periodically spaced dimples we observe interfacial tension between coexisting liquid and crystal phases. Measurements of the orientational and translational order parameters and associated susceptibilities indicate that the surface topography alters the order of the phase transition from a two-step continuous one to a first-order liquid-crystal one. The interplay of boundary inelasticity and geometry, either order-promoting or inhibiting, controls the wetting of the granular crystal / fluid. This order induced wetting has important consequences, determining how coexisting phases separate spatially.
