Effects of substrates, molecular weight and end-group functionality on spreading of the PFPE droplets have been studied experimentally and the results were compared with those by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Silicon wafer and diamond-like carbon (DLC) substrates were used to study the effect of substrates on spreading. Two types of PFPE, Z-dol and Z-tetraol, with the same chain structure and various molecular weights (2000 and 4000 g/mol) were employed in experiments. Effect of molecular weight has been investigated through comparing the spreading of Z-dol 2000 and Z-dol 4000, and it is found that the increase of molecular weight will decrease the mobility of PFPE. Comparison between spreading of Z-dol and Z-tetraol of the same molecular weight proved that functional end group plays a significant role on the spreading of PFPE, which confirmed the MD simulation results.展开更多

The calculated results indicate that all the three radicals have pyramidal shapes at their centers, and the aC is one top of the pyramids. Based on the DFT optimized geometries, the hyperfine coupling constants(hfec's) of the 19F atoms of the three radicals were calculated by B3LYP, MP2(full) and QCISD(full) methods. The calculated values agree with the experimental values, especially for the a values of Fa, the a values are 125.6× 10 -4, 104.2× 10 - 4, and 83.2×10 -4 T of CF3OCF2, CF3OCFCF3 and CF3OCF2CF2, respectively. These results better explain the experimental observation.展开更多
