Resonant stick-slip motion in a colloidal crystal

Stick-slip motion between surfaces separated by a thin fluid layer was observed on the molecular scale. At lower flow velocity, the stick-slip processes at the interface between the crystal and the cell wall can excite resonances in the crystal, which are detectable as periodic shifts of the Bragg a...

Zusammenfassung:Stick-slip motion between surfaces separated by a thin fluid layer was observed on the molecular scale. At lower flow velocity, the stick-slip processes at the interface between the crystal and the cell wall can excite resonances in the crystal, which are detectable as periodic shifts of the Bragg angle in optical diffraction.
