    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology
    • Surface Science

    Background:

    • Condensation and frost nucleation are critical phenomena in various industrial and environmental processes.
    • Understanding the initial stages of nucleation is essential for controlling surface properties and preventing unwanted effects like icing.
    • Engineered surfaces with specific properties can influence condensation behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To optically detect the onset of acetone vapor condensation on an aluminum surface.
    • To investigate the use of sub-micron period aluminum diffraction gratings for sensitive plasmonic detection of condensation.
    • To demonstrate that surface modification occurs at the very beginning of the condensation phenomenon.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing sub-micron period aluminum-based diffraction gratings with plasmonic properties.
    • Cooling an aluminum plate in a two-phase (liquid/vapor) environment containing acetone.
    • Optically measuring the shift in plasmonic wavelength resonance as condensation occurs.

    Main Results:

    • Successful detection of acetone condensation using the engineered aluminum gratings.
    • A measurable shift in plasmonic wavelength resonance correlated with acetone condensation.
    • Demonstration that surface modification due to condensation is detectable at its incipience.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasmonic diffraction gratings are effective tools for optically detecting the early stages of condensation.
    • The observed plasmonic shift confirms surface modification at the onset of condensation.
    • This research provides insights into condensate droplet and frost nucleation, enabling better control through optimized engineered surfaces.
