[Biophysics seminar] Haim Taitelbaum: “Spreading of Metal on Metal-on-glass at Room Temperature”

19. July, 2022 at 12:30 - 13:30

We study the spreading of mercury droplets on thin metal (silver or gold) films on glass at room temperature, which is the only known system of reactive-wetting at room temperature. We show that there exist two main regimes, the bulk propagation regime and the interface kinetic roughening regime. In both regimes, rich spatio-temporal patterns are observed. We characterize these patterns using statistical physics tools, such as the growth, roughness  and persistence exponents, and show some recent exotic DLA-like patterns obtained in experiments.
The meeting will take place in the tea room of the F1 department.
