The drop size as a function of time

IMAGE ANALYSIS An algorithm based on an

intensity threshold method is used to determine the edge of

the drop and its radius.

Times evolution of the the drop radius normalized

to its maximum

The different curves correspond to different values of the threshold used to detect the drop edge.

The time evolution does not depend on the threshold value

Fig. 2 Growth velocity of the droplet in the first instants of their

formation as a function of the laser power. It is measured from the

time which is needed by a growing drop to reach the diameter d.

The measured is repeated on various droplets in different positions

of the sample. The dispersion of the points in the plot could be due

to the heterogeneities of concentration in the cell

small droplets because we do not get the right edge for two

reasons. The first is that that diffraction effects dominate. The

second is that the contrast inside the droplet changes during

the growth. Thus a fixed threshold cannot describe the edge of

the droplet during all times. Therefore we plot in Fig.4 only

the dynamics for the radius above 1.5 µm.

On one oscillation, we can see that the change of regime

(from increase to decrease) is quite sudden. We succeeded

in doing at the same spot several oscillations at two differ-

ent laser intensity. Results are plotted in figure 4. An in-

crease in laser intensity results in an increase of the oscilla-

tion frequency and a decrease of the maximum amplitude of

the droplet.We tried unsuccessfully to measure quantitatively

this effect, because, as we can see in figure 4, the variation

of the droplet maximum radius at fixed intensity perturb the

effect. Furthermore other parameters, like local changes of

concentration, dusts and aging may disturb our measurement.

Nevertheless, from our analysis at short time, we know that

the larger is the laser power the faster is the droplet growth.

5.1 The effect of the laser

What is the origin of this laser induced transition ? It could

not be a simple effect of heating because this binary mixture

is a UCST, so an increasing in temperature should provoke

an homogenization of the solution. But a local heating cre-

different detection thresholds of the droplet edge in the image

have been normalized to the maximum measured radius. The

collapse of all the curves insures that the time evolution of the radius

measured by this method correctly describes the droplet dynamics.

The plotted data have been recorded in a sample with a PMMA

can estimate the increase of temperature due to the laser by

measuring the absorption coefficient of the mixture in a cell

Physical phenomena

What is the origin of this laser induced transition ?

A droplet of PMMA rich phase is initiated in the PMMA poor phase and then oscillates.

Where does this PMMA accumulation come from?

It can not be a simple effect of heating because this binary mixture has a UCST, so an increase in temperature should provoke an homogenization of the solution.

Temperature and light intensity gradients are important

Page 16: Clémence Devailly, Caroline Crauste, Artyom Petrosyan ...new-noneq2015.ws/Japan... · Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto Laboratoire de Physique Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon

Physical phenomena

16

• Particle trapping by the focused laser beam

• Thermal gradients induced by the local heating

• The Soret effect :

• Electrostriction

Page 17: Clémence Devailly, Caroline Crauste, Artyom Petrosyan ...new-noneq2015.ws/Japan... · Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto Laboratoire de Physique Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon

Is this trapping possible ?

The radius of gyration of the polymer is about 1nm

Using the Rayleigh approximation the ratio betweenthe scattering force and the gradient force on the particles is 10−7 < 1.The trap is thus stable.

The trapping force must be bigger than the thermal forces actingon the PMMA bead. The Boltzmann factor exp(−U grad/(kBT )) << 1

Ugrad is the potential of the gradient force which in our experimentis: Ugrad � 5 10−26J

So even if the trap is stable, the gradient force is not sufficientto trap the polymer.

The measured extinction coefficient of the mixture is � 9m−1

The temperature increase, is about 5K at the focal point.

This increase should be enough to observea thermophoretic effect.

• The Soret effect : depending on the sign of the Soret coefficient particles are attracted to hot or cold regions. We measured the Soret coefficient and for Octanone/PMMA ( ≈0.1K-1 ) is positive.

Thus PMMA is attracted towards cold regions

Fig. 6 Size of the rich phase in PMMA calculated numerically fromequation 1. The size of the source term is one point and the phasenever growth outside this source point. Nevertheless, asconcentration oscillations are local, we have a periodic creation ofrich phase which is faster when the source term is bigger.

These results show that with this simplified approach, weget the most important ingredients to produce an oscillatoryphenomenon, that is to say :

- a non linear diffusion term- a source term whose value changes sign when one changes

phase.So probably, the physical source term is a mixture of several

effect we mentionned above. To propose a complete physicalmechanism, we should estimate the value (at least the sign)of thermophoretic coefficient of PMMA in octanone which isnot known in litterature. But this require another experimentalset-up. I do not understand this comment. You have not thesign of the thermophoretic effect ? Laurence this phrase mustbe changed

6 Conclusions

In this article, we have presented a local oscillating phase tran-sition induced by a focused laser beam. To the best of ourknowledge, this phenomenon has never been observed before.We show that a simple model, based on the Landau theory forphase transition and a local forcing contains enough ingredi-ents to provoke an non-linear oscillatory behavior. We proposephysical arguments to provoke the oscillation

cycle but we have to determine precisely how they act. Todo so, one should determine the sign of the thermodiffusioncoefficient which require a specific experimental set-up. Assoon as we will be able to determine the weigh of each phys-ical terms, we will got the good physical mecanism. We thenwill be able to link better the simple numerical model and thephysical one. We could also developped a more sophisticatedmodel in 3D to better describe experiments. To improve thisstudy one could also choose another model for the phase tran-sition using Flory-Huggins theory18. It is the solution cho-

sen by Anders in10, which could be closest to the experimentsbecause the model is very well suited to describe polymer-solvent interaction. I do not understand this paragraph. Ifsoret is positive we have only to say that its a combinationof various effect. Clemence can you make the point

The numerical integration is performed by finite difference inspace, by dividing the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 in N points. Theintegration in time is performed by a fourth order Runge-Kutta method. We checked that the results are independentof N by changing it from 50 to 400. The initial conditionsis ϕ = −1 in all of the points of the interval. Two types ofboundary conditions have been used: a) ϕ(0) = ϕ(1) = −1;b)∂xϕ|x=0 = ∂xϕ|x=1 = 0. We mostly used the a) type becausethey correspond to have a good reservoir at the extremes, butthe results do not change too much using the type b). The forc-ing term is ξo = ξ �

o/Sξ for (xo −Sξ/2)≤ x ≤ (xo +Sξ/2) and0 elsewhere. Notice that there are three length scales in thisproblem. The integration domain which is set to 1, the forcingsize and M. The oscillation do no appear if M > Sξ . The re-sults presented in Figs. 5, 6 have been obtained with N = 100and boundary conditions a). More details on the numericalintegration of eq.1 and on its physical background will be theobject of a more theoretical paper.

Conclusions

43

•We have observed a new and puzzling oscillatory phenomenon in the phase separation of a binary mixture, which is induced by a local pumping

• test on water/C12E5 : no similar effects are observed. Droplets can be trapped in the heterogeneous phase

• We have proposed several physical mechanisms that can induce these oscillations: Temperature gradients, Thermophoresis ,Electrostriction

• A simplified model based on the Gindzburg-Landau apporach for binary mixture on which we add a local forcing, reproduces the general features of the oscillations.

Things to be done : - confirm the model by a proper estimation of the relative strength of Soret and electrostriction effects - develop a more complete numerical model

-Check wether this can be a general features of phase transitions.

What about our original questions on Brownian motion near critical points ?

•laser effects on PMMA/octanone : it is not the good sample to study local effects in phase transition

•water/C12E5 is a very good mixture because it has no spurious effects and its correlation length is very large.
