Confinement alters fluid microdomain structures. Decreasing temperature unexpectedly transforms particle stripes into droplets, a phenomenon not observed in bulk fluids, revealing new phase behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Soft matter physics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Competing interactions in fluids can lead to microphase separation.
  • Confinement effects are crucial in understanding material properties at small scales.
  • The morphology of microdomains is sensitive to external conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of parallel wall confinement on a 2D fluid with competing interactions.
  • To explore the induction of structural changes in microdomain morphology via confinement and temperature.
  • To analyze the role of wall-fluid interactions in dictating microdomain structures.

Main Methods:

  • Simulations of a two-dimensional fluid model with competing interactions.
  • Systematic variation of confinement (wall separation) and temperature.

  • Analysis of microdomain formation and morphological transitions.

    • Main Results:

    • A temperature-induced switch from particle stripes to circular clusters (droplets) was observed with neutral walls, unlike in bulk systems.
    • The transition from stripes to droplets with decreasing temperature is a novel finding.
    • Stable mixed morphologies and stripe reorientation (parallel/perpendicular to walls) were observed based on confinement and wall-fluid interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Confinement significantly influences microdomain morphology in fluids with competing interactions.
    • Temperature is a key parameter for inducing unexpected morphological transitions in confined systems.
    • The interplay between confinement, temperature, and wall-fluid interactions offers pathways to control microphase behavior.
