Forces, Energies, and Timescale in Condensed Matter 2004/10/04 C. T. Shih Special Topics on Soft Condensed Matters
Intermolecular Forces • (Long range) Attraction → to condense • (Hard core) Repulsion → to avoid collapse • Isotropic as in the figure? → usually no for soft matters
Type of Forces • Two types of bonds: permanent (chemical) bonds and temporary (physical) bonds • Van der Waals forces: U ~ a2/r6, a: polarizability, r: distance. Energy scale ~ 10-20 J ~ 724 K • Ionic interactions: Coulomb potential. Energy scale ~ 10-18 J • Covalent bonds: Energy scale ~ 30~100×10-20 J • Metallic bonds: Delocalization of electrons. Energy scale ~ covalent bonds • Hydrogen bonds: Energy scale~ 2~6×10-20 J • Hydrophobic interactions: Energy scale~ 10-20 J
Elasticity: Hookean Solid • An ideal elastic solid • An applied shear stress (剪力) produces a shear strain in response • The shear strain is proportional to shear stress • The constant of proportionality is the shear modulus
Viscosity: Newtonian Liquid • An ideal viscous liquid • An applied shear stress produces a flow with a constant shear strain rate in response • The strain rate is proportional to the shear stress, and the constant of proportionality is the viscosity
Newtonian Liquid (conti.) • Imagine some liquid sandwiched between parallel plates of area A separated by a distance y • The plates are moved with a relative velocity v • The force resisting the relative motion of the plates F=Aηv/y • η is the viscosity • v/y is just the time derivative of shear strain, or e’, so it can be written as σ=ηe’
Real Material: Viscoelastic • Hookean solid and Newtonian liquid are two limiting cases of elasticity and viscosity • The behavior of real materials is in between – viscoelastic • There is a particular timescale to determine which kind of response: elastic or viscous
shear-thinning fluid: faster-moving, less viscous shear-thickening fluid: faster-moving, more viscous
