Journal ArticleDOI
Surface melting enhanced by curvature effects
Richard Kofman,P. Cheyssac,A. Aouaj,Yossi Lereah,Guy Deutscher,T. Ben-David,J. M. Penisson,A. Bourret +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological model based on the minimization of the free energy is proposed and reported in detail, which represents a significant improvement compared to previous theoretical approaches related to well-known thermodynamic size effect models, particularly insofar as the agreement with the experimental results is concerned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent acoustic oscillations in metallic nanoparticles generated with femtosecond optical pulses
Mauro Nisoli,S. De Silvestri,Andrea Cavalleri,A. M. Malvezzi,A. Stella,Guglielmo Lanzani,P. Cheyssac,Richard Kofman +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the femtosecond pump-and-probe spectroscopy was used to detect photo-induced differential reflection in the picosecond time domain and the measured period increases linearly with size over a wide range and extracted sound velocities are consistent with those of bulk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ratchetlike motion of a shaken drop.
TL;DR: Insight is given in the fundamental issue of wetting dynamics and new possibilities of controlled motion in droplet microfluidics applications and the underlying mechanism leading to this ratchetlike motion of the drop is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-liquid transition in ultra-fine lead particles
TL;DR: In this article, the melting and solidification of lead ultra-fine particles were studied using an electron microscopy technique, which enables the identification of the transition temperatures of each particle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoleophobic behavior of fluorinated conductive polymer films combining electropolymerization and lithography
Thierry Darmanin,Frédéric Guittard,Sonia Amigoni,Elisabeth Taffin de Givenchy,Xavier Noblin,Richard Kofman,Franck Celestini +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a polymer which is able to reach the superoleophobicity when it is electrodeposited on smooth surfaces, has been deposited on micro-patterned substrates made of cylindrical arrays.
