Drops on the Underside of a Slightly Inclined Wet Substrate Move Too Fast to Grow

François Gallaire, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Pier Giuseppe Ledda

Pendant drops suspended on the underside of a wet substrate are known to accumulate fluid from the surrounding thin liquid film, a process that often results in dripping. The growth of such drops is hastened by their ability to translate over an otherwise ...

Reducing Amplified Spontaneous Emission Threshold in CsPbBr3 Quantum Dot Films by Controlling TiO2 Compact Layer

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold in CsPbBr3 quantum dot films is systematically reduced by introducing high quality TiO2 compact layer grown by atomic-layer deposition. Uniform and pinhole-free TiO2 films of thickness 10, 20 and 50 nm are use ...

Three-dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor instability under a unidirectional curved substrate

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

We investigate the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of a thin liquid film coated on the inside of a cylinder whose axis is orthogonal to gravity. We are interested in the effects of geometry on the instability, and contrast our results with the classical case o ...
