Abstract

Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in

Electroconvection of Nematic Liquid Crystals

Xiaochao Xu

We have studied two fundamental issues in driven nonequilibrium systems

using electroconvection in nematic liquid crystal I52 and N4.

We first report experimental results for electroconvection of the nematic

Liquid Crystal I52 with planar alignment and a conductivity of 1.0×10−8 (Ω m)−1.

The cell spacing was 19.4 µm and the driving frequency was 25.0 Hz. Spatio-

temporal chaos consisting of a superposition of zig and zag oblique rolls evolved

by means of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation from the uniform conduction

state[14]. For small ε ≡ V 2/V 2c −1 (V is the applied voltage amplitude and Vc

the value of V at the onset of convection), we measured the correlation lengths

of the envelopes of both zig and zag patterns. These lengths could be fit to a

power law in ε with an exponent smaller than that predicted from amplitude

equations. The disagreement with theory is similar to that found previously

for domain chaos in rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection[82].

In the following part, we developed a way to measure local current fluctu-

ations in eletroconvection. Several special cells were made and each cell had a

small local detecting electrode. The detecting electrodes were squares of width

8, 16, 32, 48 and128 µm at the center of one of the two large electrodes. The

spacing of these cells was close to 20 µm. We used the NLC Merck phase IV

(N4) with planar alignment. When the driving ε was from 0.8 to 6, we found

that the distribution of the current fluctuations was strongly skewed towards

larger values for detecting electrodes smaller than the cell spacing and slightly

skewed towards smaller values for the rest of the cells. This is compared with

global current-fluctuation measurements in similar cells which showed a gaus-

sian distribution. For the small electrodes, large fluctuations that extended

below the current expected for the conduction state were found and a possible

connection with the Gallavotti-Cohen Fluctuation Theorem is discussed.

dissertation webpage[151]. For some large files which are not printed in this

Introduction: Electroconvectionin nematic liquid crystals as adriven non-equilibrium patternforming system

Statistical physics has been very successful in dealing with equilibrium

problems. There is a general guideline for dealing with such problems. First

find out the energy levels of constituent elements (like molecules), in the pres-

ence of interactions (this step may be very difficult, but it is not really the

problem of statistical physics). Then we can write down the partition function.

This partition function may be solvable or insolvable. If it is solvable, then

it is the end of the problem. If insolvable, most of the physics is to compare

different scales to find which ones are important in the problem and made

proper approximations to bring down the problem to a solvable one.

When we deal with nonequilibrium problems, we are still lacking general

rules in attacking them. In systems near equilibrium, we have Onsager re-

lationships and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). But they are not

generally applicable in systems far from equilibrium. For such systems, we

usually deal with them case by case, try to learn special things about them

and apply our ideas and methods learned in other system to them to solve

2

Page 19: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

them individually. After partial success at solving the problem, we want to

ask whether we have learned from such specific system can help us understand

more general nonequilibrium problems.

One class of extremely complicated nonequilibrium problems appear in spa-

tially extended driven systems. And in such a system, often time, when the

external driving force reaches certain critical value, instability (instabilities)

occurs and some spatial and temporal structures spontaneously appear. This

process is referred to as pattern formation in driven non-equilibrium systems

and occurs on many length scales. Examples of patterns formed in such sys-

tems include the stripes and spots on animal coats, clouds streets, patterns

formed in etching and deposition processes and dendritic formation. For a

very thorough review on pattern formation, see [1].

Among the pattern forming systems, Rayleigh-Benard convection (RBC)[2,

1] is a particularly interesting system for its easy access for lab studies, well-

known governing hydrodynamic equations, high stability and reproducibility.

In a RBC system, a simple Newtonian fluid (water, methanol, ethanol, CO2

and SF6 gases are commonly used in this group) is confined between two paral-

lel conducting plates positioned horizontally and heated from below and cooled

from above to keep the two plates at constant temperatures. The underlying

mechanism of the pattern forming instability is the balance between fluid buoy-

ancy and viscous dissipation and thermal diffusion. The control parameter,

which characterizes the strength of external driving, is the Rayleigh number

R ≡ αg∆Td3/(νκ). Here g is the gravity acceleration, ∆T is the temperature

difference between the plates, d is the distance between the plates, α is the

thermal expansion coefficient, ν is the kinematic viscosity and κ the thermal

diffusivity. Below the critical Rayeligh number Rc, which is equal to 1708 for a

layer with no lateral boundaries [3], heat is transported by conduction and the

system is spatially uniform. Above Rc, the fluid begins to flow, and convection

rolls form. Depending on the details of the system, there is a great variety

of possible patterns including straight rolls, hexagons, squares and spirals. If

3

in addition there is rotation about a vertical axis, an extra instability which

is called the Kuppurts-Lortz (KL) instability[4] comes in when the rotation

rate is larger than a critical value[2]. This instability can lead to a state of

spatio-temporal chaos right above the onset of convection. We will discuss this

state further in Part II.

RBC serves as a paradigm of pattern formation in isotropic systems. A

complementary system from the viewpoint of symmetry, and a very important

one, is electroconvection (EC) in nematic liquid crystals (NLC). EC in NLC is

a paradigm for pattern formation in anisotropic systems. A NLC cell consists

of a thin NLC layer confined between two parallel capacitance plates (see the

schematic diagram Figure 1.3). The surfaces of the plates are treated to align

the NLC director parallel to the the plates. Usually an AC voltage is used to

drive the convection.

EC in NLC will be the focus of this dissertation. In the following, I will give

a brief introduction to EC. The detailed introductions of the main problems

will be put in the two main parts (Part II and III) of this dissertation.

1.1 Nematic liquid crystal and Nematics

Liquid cystals (LC) are a thermodynamical phase of matter which has

both fluid like properpties (they flow) and crystal like properties (long range

positional or orientational order) [5, 6]. All the work in this dissertation is

about nematic liquid cystals. Usually NLC molecules are rode-like molecules

(for example, the two NLCs we used, N4 and I52, see Sect. 2.2). In the nematic

phase, these molecules have an inherent long-range orientational order, but no

long-range positional order. The direction of average molecular alignment

is given by the director, which can be a function of space and time. Upon

heating a NLC, at a critical temperature called the clearing point, the NLC

loses its positional order and becomes an isotropic liquid (ordinary liquid).

Upon cooling, a NLC will usually have a few transitions to other LC phases

4

which possess various degrees of positional order (smectic A, smectic C, etc.),

and eventually, the NLC will crystalize.

Various aspects of NLC are relevant to EC: the anisotropy of material

parameters, the elastic properties of NLC, and the viscosity tensor. For a

complete discussion of all these the reader can refer to [5, 6], and for a brief

introduction to M. Dennin and M. Treiber’s dissertations[7, 8]. Here I will

only give a brief introduction to the most important property of NLC: the

anisotropy of material parameters.

The director is represented as a unit vector n in the direction of the local

average molecular alignment. But it is not a real vector as n and −n are

equivalent. Mathematically, any physical variable (such as material proper-

ties which will be mentioned below, elastic energy, and viscosity properties)

describing the NLC which contains n can only have even power of n. The

local average of the molecule alignment or any other macroscopic property is

obtained by averaging over scales that are large compared with the scales of

the molecules while small comparing to the macroscopic scales in the system

we study, e.g., the spacing of our cells d. In all our work, the molecules have

scales of order nm and d has scales of tens of µm and therefore they are well

separated and this local average is always doable. When boundaries and/or

external fields are applied, n will usually be a function of space and time and

will be a dynamical variable in the full description of a NLC.

The material properties of a NLC, like the electrical and thermal conduc-

tivities σ and λ, the dielectric constant ǫ, the magnetic susceptibility χ, the

index of refraction n, are generally anisotropic and are represented by ten-

sors. Since all the NLCs we considered have a cylindrical symmetry, i. e. the

axes perpendicular to the director are equivalent, the tensors are uniaxial and

there are only two independent components, the component measured parallel

to the director is b‖ and the component measure perpendicular to the director

is b⊥, where b represents one of the above mentioned properties. We can write

of b.

Two properties mostly related to the EC instability are the electrical con-

ductivity σ and the dielectric constant ǫ. Figure 1.1 shows schematically how

to measure σ‖ (a) and σ⊥ (b) using a set of parallel capacitor plates. From the

measured values of resistance and geometry of the plates, one can calculate

the two values. In a similar fashion, by measuring the capacitance at these

two configurations, one can get ǫ‖ and ǫ⊥.

1.2 Electroconvection

Some of the typical patterns of EC are shown in Figure 1.2. In (a), the

roll axes are perpendicular to the director and they are called normal rolls. In

(b), the roll axes form oblique angles to the director, they are called oblique

rolls. There are two oblique roll domains and they form a domain wall at

their bounbary. These pattern are called zig and zag patterns[15]. In (c), the

amplitudes of the zig and zag patterns vary as a function of time and space

chaotically, this is a spatio-temporal chaotic state[14].

There are two configurations for EC, for a complete discussion of both, see

Ref. [5] Chap. 5.3.3. In this dissertation, we only deal with the case where

the director is planarly aligned and σa > 0 and ǫa < 0 (It is possible to use

NLC whose ǫa is slightly positive. But if ǫa is large and positive, the Frederiks

transition dominates[5]. To avoid any complications, we only consider ǫa < 0

and this is the case we always use in our experiments.).

We first assume that the electric conduction of the NLC is Ohmic, i. e.

j(x) = σE(x) + ρe(x)v (1.2)

where σ is the a constant uniaxial tensor.

The mechanism which produces EC is known as the Carr-Helfrich mechanism[10].

We follow the treatment in Ref. [5] to treat the unidemensional model intro-

duced by Helfrich[9]. In Figure 1.3, before applied a voltage, the director is

8

Page 25: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

uniformly aligned along the x direction, n = [1, 0, 0]. After applying a voltage,

consider a small periodic distortion in director field n = [1, 0, φ(x)]. Due to the

distortion of the director field, a current density along the x axis is generated,

jx = σaEzφ(x). jx in turn induces a charge density ρe(x). In Figure 1.3, more

positive charges pile up at region A. The electric field then applies an electric

force upon the fluid around A and thus can induce the flow pattern shown in

Figure 1.3. This flow then drag the director at B to increase the distortion.

Another effect at point B is that, due to the pile-up of position charge at A,

there is an extra component of the electric field along x, δE that adds to the

original electric field. Since ǫa < 0, the director at B tends to be orthogonal to

the local electric field, this gives a torque also tends to increase the initial dis-

tortion. Of course, this distortion cannot just distort the initial director field

at an arbitrarily small electric field since a small distortion is balanced by the

elastic torque of the NLC (for the elastic forces, see Chap. 3 in Ref. [5]). Only

when the distortion torque is large enough to overcome the restoring torque,

the convection happens.

From the above unidimentional Helfrich mechanism, we see that the onset

will be determined by the strength of three torques, and therefore it is obvious

that the elastic constant K, σ’s and ǫ’s will affect the onset. An interesting

result from the balancing of the three torques is that the onset voltage is

independent of the thickness of the cell[5]. And the control parameter for EC

instability is V 2.

The above mechanism is described assuming DC driving. Usually DC

driving is avoided as the NLC is doped to have ionic conduction and therefore

a DC current can destroy the cell by electrolysis. We usually use an AC voltage

and put an insulating boundary condition on the electrodes, i.e. put a thin

insulating layer (in most of our cells, a thin SiO2 layer, see 2.3.1). With a low

frequency, the charge density is able to follow the applied field. And since the

three torques in Figure 1.3 are unchanged under change of the polarization of

the applied voltage, the mechanism is unchanged. As the driving frequency

9

Page 26: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

increases, at constant driving voltage, there are fewer charges that can pile

up at point A, and the onset voltage will increase (for a discuss on frequency

dependence of the Helfrich model, see Ref. [5]). When the frequency increases

to the point where the charge density ρe(x) is not able to follow the applied

field (due to finite charge relaxation time τq = ǫ0ǫ⊥/σ⊥), the Carr-Helfrich

mechanism onset diverges. This frequency is the cut-off frequency. Below the

cut-off frequency, it is called conduction region and the pattern wavelength is

comparable to the thickness of the cell d. Above the cut-off frequency, in the

so-called dielectric region, another kind of pattern called ”chevron pattern”

comes in[5] and the wavelength is much smaller than d. For all the work

discussed in this dissertation, we will only work in the conduction region.

The unidimentional Helfrich model can predict the onset voltage qualita-

tively. For a more accurate prediction of onset voltage and to explain the

appearance of oblique patterns, one has to do a full 3-D calculation and it was

done in [11].

The above model can be called the standard model(SM) in EC. But it

always predicts a stationary pattern right above onset. The Weak electrolyte

model (WEM) was proposed by M. Treiber and L. Kramer[12, 8] to explain

the origin of the Hopf bifurcation in EC observed in I52[13]. It has been very

successful in predicting the Hopf frequencies for that system. In the WEM,

instead of pure Ohmic conduction (constant conducting ion concentration),

there are two species of ionic charge carriers with charges ±e and they couple

to each other with a simple dissociation-recombination reaction. The densities

of positive and negative ions are n+(x, t) and n−(x, t). The charge density

field is ρe(x, t) = e[n+(x, t) − n−(x, t)]. The ion mobilities are µ±⊥ and µ±

‖ and

these give the conductivity field σ⊥(x, t) = e(µ+⊥n+ +µ−

⊥n−) (and similarly for

σ‖(x, t)) . Therefore, in the WEM, besides the basic equations for the velocity

field v(x, t), director field n(x, t), and charge density field ρe(x, t), we have

an extra dynamical variable, the perpendicular conductivity field σ⊥(x, t) (

σ‖(x, t) is not independent of σ⊥(x, t))). All these variables are coupled and

10

it is more complicated than the already pretty complicated SM equations.

Nevertheless, it gives rise the new phenomenon, the Hopf bifurcation and

this is very important for our discussion of the spatio-temporal chaos state

in Part II.

There are a few general advantages of EC for as a paradigm for studying

pattern formation or general driven systems. First of all, the size of the cell.

The cell thickness ranges from a few µm to about 100 µm and the size of the

electrode can be as big as centimeters. This enables us to study systems of

very large aspect ratio (order of 1000). The large aspect ratios are closer to

the theoretical idealization of a system of infinite lateral extent and in many

cases, we can simply ignore the effects of boundaries. In addition, the scale

in EC is very suitable for modern photolithography technology to control the

size of the electrodes to achieve special designs. In Part III, we will discuss

the fabrication of small local electrodes to measure local current fluctuations

in an EC system.

The typical time scales in EC are of order 10−3 to 10−1 s. This is sig-

nificantly faster than the typical RBC experiments which have time scales of

the order of minutes. This can shorten the time required to obtain reasonable

statistics.

Another advantage is that driving with electrical current enables us to

measure electrical signals in the system which can be much more convenient

than measuring other thermal or optical signals. In Part III, we will utilize

this advantage.

The disadvantages of EC systems are mostly the stability and uniformity of

the cells. LCs are more complicated than ordinary liquids. In addition, in EC,

we need to dope the LCs to get enough electrical conductivity which is required

in EC. Usually the cells’ properties (most prominently, the conductance of the

cell) drift. Spatially, due to the small thickness of the cell, a micron scale

nonuniformity is big relatively. Most importantly, due to the tricky nature of

alignment (see Sect. 2.3.2), it is very hard to achieve uniformity across a big

11

area which is required in our work in Part II. In Chapter 2, we will discuss

some of our work in dealing with these disadvantages.

In the following chapters, the general setup for all the experiments will be

discussed first. Then two slightly different subjects will be addressed. One

is about the spatio-temporal chaotic (STC) state in NLC I52 convection first

discovered by M. Dennin et al[14]. The other one is about the local current

fluctuation measurements in NLC N4 convection. In studying the two special

cases, we hope we can shed some light on two important subjects in general

driven non-equilibrium systems: the STC in spatially extended driven systems

and fluctuations in general non-equilibrium systems.

Chapter 2

General Experimental Setup forAll Experiments

The setup for NLC electroconvection experiments in our group was first

introduced by M. Dennin. In my experiments, the general line of setup follows

the original design. In the following, I will focus on changes I made, along with

a brief description of the unchanged features for completeness. For a complete

reference of original setups, see Dennin’s dissertation[7] and [16].

Two sets of apparatus are used in my experiments, Setup 1 is modified

from the one in [16]. The difference between this one and the one described in

[7] is that this one does not have circulating water cooling, and instead uses

room air cooling. Setup 2 is a modified commercial microscope from Meiji

Techno[20]. The working principles are the same, but this is just a lot smaller

than Setup 1. The emphasis will be on the first one. In the following, without

mentioning, the apparatus means Setup 1.

2.1 Apparatus

Following [7], the whole apparatus is split into three parts, the imaging

system, temperature control stage and electronic controls, which are shown in

Figure 2.1 similar to Figure 3.1 in [7]. Among them, the imaging system is

modified very little, temperature control stage is modified, and the electronic

controls are completely different from the one in [7].

2.1.1 Shadowgraph

The shadowgraph technique is a well developed method of visualizing vari-

ation in the index of refraction of a fluid. In RBC, the variation is due to the

density variation caused by the temperature field. In EC, the variation is due

to director tilt. For the shadowgraph technique in EC, the reader can refer to

[17, 18, 19].

The shadowgraph apparatus (as shown in Figure 2.2) is a modified version

of RBC a shadowgraph tower[21, 7]. Along the optical path, we have the light

source, a rotatable polarizer, the cell, a lower lens, a Nikon camera lens and a

Figure 2.3: Schematic of light source

CCD camera. In Setup 2, an objective lens replaces the lower lens and there

is no camera lens used, and the size is much smaller than this setup. Other

than that, the scheme is almost identical to the one in Figure 2.2.

The light source consists of a power supply, an ultra bright red LED, an

optical fiber patch cord, and a collimating lens(Figure 2.3).

The power supply is a current source which can put out 0 ∼ 40 mA cur-

rent and it is made of a simple op amp circuit. The LED is an InGaAlP (peak

wavelength 630nm) one, model LZE12W from SunLED Corporation[22]. Com-

paring with ordinary LEDs used in previous setups, this one has a luminosity

of 7000 mcd minium and 18000 mcd maximum at 20mA driving current. Be-

cause of its brightness, no special coupling was made between the LED and

the optical fiber. There are cases when brighter light is desirable. The top of

the LED can then be cut off and polished and carefully aligned with the fiber.

This is done in other setups in our group[23]. A commercial LED-to-fiber cou-

pler (model HULED-25-630-M-BE-CSP) from OZ Optics[24] was also tested

in another setup[25] and it significantly increased the coupling efficiency.

16

The optical fiber patch cord is a step index multimode fiber for visible and

infrared wavelengths from 350 ∼ 2100 nm. Its core and cladding diameters are

50µm and 125µm respectively. Two SMA 905 fiber optic connectors are used

to connect the fiber patch cord to the light source and the collimator.

In Setup 2, a red LED (GaAlAs, peak wavelength 650nm) from Industrial

Fiber Optics, Inc. [26] is used. The advantage of this LED is that it has a

connector built in it and one can plug in a special fiber directly. The fiber, also

from Industrial Fiber Optics, Inc. [26],has a plastic core. The core diameter

is 1mm, which is much thicker than any other fibers we used in this group.

The reason for choosing this is that the microscope objects have much smaller

apertures than any of the shadowgraph towers and a 50µm fiber just cannot

provide enough transmitting light for the microscope. A thick fiber causes the

optical sensitivity of the system to have very few oscillations before it drops

to zero[21]. Figure 2.4 shows γ2 = 2J1(qz1Θa)/(qz1Θa) in [21] Eq. 13 versus

optical distance z1 for this microscope optical setup. (Eq. 13 A = 2dγ1γ2q2z1

is about the sensitivity A of the optical system and it does not apply exactly to

the electroconvection case, but the factor γ2 due to a distributed light source

is still valid.) To use this microscope setup, one has to observe the pattern by

focusing the imaging plane very close to the convecting LC layer. In most cases,

this has not been a problem. Because one can show [19] that the term linear

to director tilt responding to shadowgraph imaging forming is the strongest

near the imaging plane and the linear term is what really needed. In practice,

this actually makes it easier to adjust the optic setup. One usually can see

where the image signal is the strongest by eyes and this almost coincides with

the focusing on the LC layer. So one can either let the cell convects and adjust

the microscope and visually find the best focusing position, or one can focus

a dust particle in the LC layer before letting it convect to determine that.

In each apparatus, a dichroic sheet polarizer of diameter 20.6mm [28] is

used to generate polarized light. The direction of the polarization is adjustable,

and we adjust it to be parallel to LC director in the cell.

The light enters the cell perpendicularly and the cell is in a temperature-

control stage. We will discuss the cell construction in the following sections.

The lower lens in Figure 2.2 is a 60mm-focal-length achromatic lens1[29].

In the microscope, the original objectives are used. Most of them have rather

small focal length and they have to be rather close to the cell, while with a

60mm-focal-length lens, the lens is about 65 ∼ 75mm from the cell. This gives

us more space to work with.

In Figure 2.2, the Nikon lens and CCD camera are mounted on separate

movable carriages. The design of the carriages allows the relative position

of the Nikon lens and CCD camera and the position of the Nikon lens and

camera as a unit to be adjusted independently (see [7]). The lens is a 50 mm

f/1.4 Nikon camera lens. And the camera is a monochromatic Cohu[30] model

1The light source is almost monochromatic. One chooses a doublet achromat because italso has less other aberrations than a singlet.

4915-3000. The image is digitized with an 8-bit framegrabber. The maximum

size of the image is 640 × 480 pixels.

For Setup 2, the microscope has its own camera mount and a digital 12-bit

CCD camera from QImaging[31] is mounted directly on it. The digital images

can be downloaded from the camera via a firewire (IEEE 1394) cable.

In Setup 1, digital gain and offset can be controlled by the framegrabber.

For Setup 2, the camera’s gain, offset, exposure time and triggering time can

be controlled. Before one starts a run taking a series of images, one has to

adjust light intensity, and camera’s gain and offset (for the QImaging camera,

exposure can be adjusted as well, but it is all fixed to be 20ms for all the

following experiments) to make sure the histogram of the pixels fills almost

entire range (0 ∼ 255 for COHU and 0 ∼ 4095 for QImaging), but no or very

few pixels overflow the range for any of the images. The framegrabber’s driver

does not provide a mechanism to take a series fast images with accurate timing.

For each image, it opens the framegrabber, takes a image and closes it, and

then uses sleep function to wait for integer number of seconds before starting to

take next image. This process is very slow and accurate timing is impossible as

all the timing of the steps in the process depends on other processes running in

the computer. The fastest rate for this setup is about 3 ∼ 4 frames per second

(use sleep 0 second) for image size 256 × 256. QImaging camera provides

a mode of external triggering which enables one to use an external square

signal to synchronize the image-taking process. Therefore if accurate timing

is required, one should use this mode. The fastest rate for taking 256 × 256

images is about 20 frames per second.

The first step for quantitative image analysis is image division and it follows

reference [21]. In a run, we collect a series of images at different voltages, at

least one voltage is far enough from the onset of electroconvection at which

one does not see any pattern. This provides a background image I0(x). Then

the rest of the images I(x) are divided pixel by pixel by the background image.

This is to remove inhomogeneities in the optical path. The shadowgraph signal

19

Page 36: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

is then defined to be

I(x) =I(x)−Ioff

I0(x)−Ioff(2.1)

where Ioff is the offset of the camera and it was measured at incoming light

intensity equals zero(covering the camera). It was found that, for QImaging

camera, at different gains, the offset values are slightly different. For QImaging

driver Version 1.68.6, the gain has a range from 0.524 to 18.3 and the software

offset O is from -1460 to 2635. Note that this offset value is provided by the

software and for each individual camera, one has to calibrate its own offset

Ioff in Eq. 2.1. Since the light source intensity is strong enough for all the

experiment conditions, we always set the gain to be the smallest which is 0.524

and when needed, vary light intensity to make the histogram cover a proper

range. Figure 2.5 shows calibration data for different software offset O at

gain=0.524. In most of runs, software offset is set to 473 and the corresponding

Ioff is 429.9.

2.1.2 Temperature Control

In Setup 1, the temperature control stage was slightly modified from that

in [16]. We use a bigger aluminum cylinder (12.95 cm high with a diameter of

13.11 cm) to keep the temperature at the center of cylinder where the cell is

placed more stable. The whole aluminum is wrapped with Insulating foam.

In [7], the stage temperature is controlled by a home-made analog con-

troller. Our group has switched all our near-room temperature controllers

to software controllers. The temperature is measured with a thermistor and

read out by a Keithley 196 multimeter to a computer (bellman in Figure 2.1).

The control algorithm is a standard PID control [32, 147] and we usually set

the parameter D=0 (PI control). The computer outputs a 0 ∼ 5V voltage

through a D/A converter to drive a power supply to adjust heat output to five

heaters[33] attached on to the aluminum cylinder to keep the readings of the

thermistor constant.

In Setup 2, a Lauda water circulator is used to keep a copper block at

constant temperature and the cell is placed inside of the block.

2.1.3 Electronics

The AC driving source and measuring circuit are completely replace with

an AC bridge based system. The electronics in [7] has the advantage of low-cost

and of being computer-controllable. But it cannot monitor the cell conduc-

tivity during a run. So usually, one first measures the cell conductivity and

capacitance before a run, then after the run finishes, one measures it again.

But one does not have any idea of the history of the conductivity. Both the-

ory and our experience suggest that the cell conductivity is the most crucial

parameter that controls the behavior of the pattern formation. Firstly, the

conductivity anisotropy σa gives the driving force for the electroconvection

21

instability. Secondly, the charge relaxation time τq = ǫ0ǫ⊥/σ⊥ determines the

cutoff frequency of the convection. And it also comes into other places to

determine the details of the patterns. All these considerations motivate us

to pursue a better way to monitor the cell conductivity changes, and even to

control them when necessary.

We used an AC bridge similar to those used in our group’s low-temperature

labs[34, 35] to achieve this goal(also, the precision is improved greatly). Fig-

ure 2.6 shows the schematic of the circuit. The driving source comes from

the internal oscillator of a lock-in amplifier. It goes into a unity gain buffer

to lower its output impedance that enables it to drive a step-up transformer.

The driving voltage comes from the secondary and drives the AC bridge. The

bridge consists of a ratio transformer, at one arm a reference resistor decade

box Rr plus a reference fixed capacitor Cr, another arm is the working EC

cell, and a lock-in amplifier measuring the bridge signal. The following is the

details of the circuit and each of its components:

22

Page 39: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

Circuit Components

The lock-in oscillator outputs a sinusoidal wave of 1 mHz to 250 kHz, with

amplitude 1µV to 5V, and the output impedance is 50 Ω which is too high

to drive the step-up transformer directly. A unity gain buffer is in between

these two components. It is just a typical op amp follower. The op amp is

a PA07 from Apex Microtechnology Corp. [36]. It is a 5A power op amp

having a relatively low offset voltage (0.5 mV typical, can be trimmed using

the 10 kΩ pot if needed.) and low offset drift (10 µV/C typical) which is

good for driving voltage stability and reducing DC component applied onto

the step-up transformer(a detailed comparison of Apex power op amps can be

found at their webpages[37]). A 1MΩ resistor is put in parallel with the input

to reduce the input impedance. The input impedance of the PA07 is of order

of 1011 Ω. If the input is open without this resistor, an induced voltage can

bring the output to quite high level (possibly close to ±15 V) and saturate

the step-up transformer. A big DC current directly applied to the transformer

should always be avoided since that saturates the core material. Once this

happens, a degaussing procedure should be performed[38]. This is true for the

ratio transformer as well[41].

The step-up transformer serves to raise the driving voltage, to isolate the

driving source from the bridge, so one can ground the central tap of the bridge

at the ratio transformer which is desirable. It is a model PAT4002 toroidal

transformer originally designed for tube amplifier as a push-pull ultra wide

bandwidth output transformer by Plitron Manufacturing Inc. [39]. It is used

reversely as a step-up transformer, i.e. the original primary with more winding

is used here as our secondary, and the original secondary with less winding as

our primary. There are a few reasons to choose this transformer: It works

at audio frequencies(±0.1dB range 3.9 Hz to 24 kHz[40]), which cover all

possible frequencies we work on. Unlike some other transformers used in our

low-temperature labs[42], it can provide big enough output voltages without

23

Page 40: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

saturating. It can provide up to 65 V(rms) with ratio 1:13.71. Higher voltage

should be possible with the biggest ratio 1:34.28, but since 65 V is big enough

for all practical purpose, that is not tested. There are 5 tabs[40] available for

different output ratios, so there are 10 possible combinations to choose from.

Some of them give the same ratios. Excluding those, we can have 6 different

ratios and they can be chosen by a rotary switch. But it was found that only

two ratios which are symmetrical to the central taps work properly for the

bridge. They are 1:13.71 using the 40% ultra linear taps and 1:34.28, the

highest ratio, using the full secondary coil. This is possibly related to that the

transformer was manufactured with two windings method. In practice, only

1:13.71 is used.

The ratio transformer is a model 1000 Gertsch AC ratio standard[41]. It

has two units, 0.35f (meaning applied voltage should not exceed 0.35 times

the applied frequency) unit for high frequency; 2.5f unit for low frequecy. We

have two common frequencies in use, 25 Hz and 591 Hz. For 591 Hz, we use

only 0.35f unit; for 25 Hz, we primary use 2.5f unit. One advantage of using a

ratio transformer is that it gives very little phase error comparing with other

voltage dividers. For all applicable ratio range, the phase error caused by ratio

transformer[41] is much smaller than that caused by step-up transformer plus

unity gain buffer(see below). Therefore we will ignore this phase error in all

occasions. Another advantage is that it simplifies the circuit design and enable

us to keep the cell driving voltage constant(see below for circuit analysis).

The lock-in amplifier is from Ametek Signal Recovery (formerly Princeton

Applied Research, EG&G, Perkin Elmer), model 7265[43]. It is a DSP dual

phase lock-in amplifer which enables us to measure both in-phase and out-

of-phase components simutaneously. In choosing this one, we have compared

others in the market. Two models suit our purpose similarly, besides 7265,

Stanford Research Systems 830 DSP dual phase lock-in amplifier[45] is roughly

comparable in performance and price. We chose 7265 mostly because its in-

ternal oscillator has a better resolution (125 µV for 4 mV to 500 mV and 0.5

mV for 501 mV to 2 V, versus SR830’s 2 mV resolution, see [43] and [45] ) and

a better resolution is important as after passing through the step-up trans-

former, this resolution will become about 13 times bigger. The 7265 lock-in

can be controlled via GPIB bus and a complete command list can be found in

its manual[44]. The C codes “PE7265.c”[151] contains all the commands used

in experiments described in this thesis.

Mostly, we use the current mode instead of the voltage mode to measure

the imbalance signal of the bridge. We will discuss the reason in the next sub-

section. The 7265 lock-in has its own internal current-to-voltage preamplifier

and it has two modes for that: wide bandwidth and low noise[44]. For most

bridge balancing, we use the wide bandwidth mode. In this mode, its -3 dB

point is 50 kHz and the phase shift caused by the preamplifier is negligible for

frequencies below 100 Hz. The -3 dB point of the low noise mode is only 500

Hz and we seldom use it. In case a low-noise measurement is needed, we use

an external current-to-voltage preamplifier from DL Instruments[46]. Details

about this preamplifier will be discussed in Chap. 6.3.

The two arms of the bridge is the measuring cell and reference resistor and

capacitor. Details about the cell will be discussed in 2.3. The reference resistor

is a General Radio GR1433H decade box which covers the 1 Ω to 11.11111 MΩ

range. Sometimes, it is desirable to expand the range to 111 MΩ, a one-decade

box was made using one 10 MΩ, two 20 MΩ and one 100 MΩ resistors. They

are model TF626R and TF656R Low temperature coefficient precision resistors

from Caddock Electronics, Inc.[47]. The reference capacitor is a General Radio

1403 series standard air capacitor [48]. Their values are fixed, they are 1000pF,

100pF, 10pF, 1pF, 0.1pF and 0.01pF with a nominal error of 0.1%. When we

measure whole cell properties, we usually use 1000pF.

Analysis and Characterization of the Circuit

We first characterize the driving source of the bridge focusing on the phase

shift caused by the source circuit. Firstly, the op amp PA07 has a very small

25

Page 42: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

output impedance(should be smaller than 1 Ω). The nominal impedance for

the primary of the step-up transformer is 5 Ω, the output impedance at the

1:13.71 ratio secondary should be less than 1 kΩ and this is very small com-

paring with either the ratio transformer’s input impedance (see [41]), or the

cell and references’ input impedance at our experiment frequencies. Therefore,

the bridge should not affect the source output much.

For phase shift relative to the oscillator phase, ideally, we like the output

of the step-up transformer to be in-phase with the lock-in internal oscillator

(i.e. tap 1 of the ratio transformer in phase, tap 3 out phase by 180o, as

the central tap 2 is grounded, see Figure 2.6). But generally this is not the

case as the source circuit will cause a phase shift relative to internal oscillator.

Since we usually run below 1 kHz, the unity gain buffer won’t cause too much

phase shift; the shift will mostly be due to the step-up transformer. In the

transformer’s data sheet[40], they provided the phase response curve covering

all working frequencies. But we use it reversely, we have to measure it directly.

This is done by treating the whole source as a black box and measuring at

the output. We measured at step-up ratio 13.71, set oscillator to be 0.1 V(the

maximum range of the lock-in is 1 V which has a 3 V limit, so we cannot use any

voltage too much higher.) and measure the output of the step-up transformer

directly with the lock-in amplifier(with different output filter time constants

for different frequencies). Figure 2.7 shows the output voltage and phase shift

against frequencies for Setup 1. For Setup 2, since we only run at 25 Hz, only

this one point is measured, which is 2.51o.

Next, we turn our attention to the bridge itself. We will follow the analysis

in [34]. But in most cases, our bridge is much simplier than that in [34] as our

cell and reference have much larger impedance, therefore, it drains very little

current from the source and the ratio transformer. Also, the wire resistance is

negligible. Although usually stray capacitance is not too much smaller than

the cell capacitance, we do not really need to know the absolute values of the

cell capacitance very precisely. Therefore, it does not do too much harm. As

Figure 2.8: A simple approximation of the bridge (Figure 2.6) similar toFigure3-12 in [34]. Note that the actual ground is not as shown here.

stated before, the driving source’s output impedance is much smaller than the

bridge’s input impedance, therefore, we lump the driving source as an ideal

voltage source with output impedance Zc = 0. For the above reasons, we can

simplify the bridge into the circuit shown in Figure 2.8, similar to Figure 3-12

in [34].

Here we use the lock-in to measure current. The input impedance of the

lock-in current preamplifier is very small (< 250 Ω at 1 kHz for wide band-

width mode, see [44], much smaller than the cell and reference impedance.),

therefore, it is a good approximation to treat the potential at the two ends of

the lock-in to be the same. This greatly simplify the analysis of the circuit

28

and most importantly, keep the driving voltage applied onto the cell constant

disregarding the cell impedance changes2. We first balance the bridge by ad-

justing both the ratio R of the ratio transformer and the reference resistance

Rr to let ILI to be zero, assume the current through the cell is I0, we have

I0 = (1 −R)VIN/Z0 = Ir = RVIN/Zr (2.2)

where the balancing cell impedance Z0 is an effective resistance R0 in parallel

with an effective capacitance C0

Z0 = 11

R0

(2.3)

where G0 = 1/R0 is the electrical conductance, and reference impedance Zr =Rr

1+iωRrCr= 1

Gr+iωCrFrom Eq. 2.2, we have the balance conditions:

R0 = 1−RR Rr (G0 = R

1−RGr); C0 = R1−RCr (2.4)

When the cell’s resistance (conductance) changes to R = R0 + ∆R(G = G0 +

∆G) and capacitance changes to C = C0 + ∆C, the current flowing through

the lock-in ILI becomes

ILI = I − I0 = (1 −R)VIN (∆G + iω∆C) (2.5)

2Initially, we used voltage mode of the lock-in just like most AC bridges do. Since we usethe imbalancing signal to measure the conductivity and capacitance of the cell, the inputimpedance of the lock-in came in play as it is of the same order (10 MΩ for FET input[44])as that of the cell, and this was solved by carefully characterizing the impedance. Then thedriving voltage on the cell will be changing as the impedance of the cell changes, this wassolved by first calculating the voltage drop over the cell, then using a feedback loop to adjustthe oscillator output voltage to set the cell driving voltage constant. Another problem camein that the oscillator voltage can only be set in discrete steps which is 0.5 mV and 2 mVin our working voltages, and they become 6.8 mV and 27 mV after passing the step-uptransformer at ratio 1:13.71. This is too much for us, and it sometimes caused control loopunstable. This was also solved by adding a smoothing circuit similar to Figure 3.9 in [7]to divide the 0.5 mV (or 2 mV) step into 4096 smaller steps. It took a lot of effort andeventually it was working. But using current mode circumvents all these problems andmakes it much easier to operate and analyze.

29

We therefore can monitor the change of the cell’s conductance and capacitance

from the real and imaginary part of ILI

∆G = ℜ(ILI )(1−R)VIN

; ∆C = ℑ(ILI)(1−R)ωVIN

(2.6)

Then the cell’s conductivity σ and dielectric constant ǫ can be calculated

σ = GdA

; ǫ = Cdǫ0A

(2.7)

where A and d are the cell’s electrode area and thickness respectively.

An example of cell conductivity and dielectric constant time series plot can

be found in Sect. 2.2.

Note that unlike using the lock-in in a voltage mode where the cell resis-

tance (as well as capacitance) comes into both in-phase(real part) and out-

phase(imaginary part) of the lock-in readings, here we have a complete sep-

aration of resistive and capacitive components. This is another advantage of

using the current mode. But for most frequencies, the VIN in Figure 2.8 is

not exactly in-phase with lock-in internal oscillator due to the driving source

phase shift mentioned above. This can be fixed by setting the reference angle

of the lock-in at the angle measured above, or following the following easy

procedure: first balance the bridge, then vary the reference resistor by a small

amount to give an imbalancing signal, then use the lock-in’s built-in “Auto

Phase” function to bring the out-phase component to zero, then rebalance the

bridge.

After being able to measure the cell conductivity in real time, we then are

able to control its conductivity by changing the cell temperature. This is done

in similar way as temperature control in 2.1.2: instead of using a themistor

reading as control variable, we now use the lock-in in-phase reading. We need

to know roughly the coefficient of conductivity change versus temperature.

This is done by manually testing a few coefficients.

2.2 Liquid Crystals

Two NLC are used in all experiments, I52 and Merck Phase IV(N4)[49]. I52

has been described in [7] in detail. We are mostly just follow the steps there.

N4 is a eutectic mixture of two forms of p-Methoxy-p-n-ButylAzoxyBenzene,

namely CH3O-C6H4-NO=N-C6H4-C4H9 and CH3OC6H4-N=NO-C6H4-C4H9.

It has a clearing point of 76oC. At 20C its dielectric anisotropy and optical

anisotropy are ǫa = −0.2 and na = n‖ − n⊥ = 0.28 respectively[49]. In this

dissertation, some of the properties of N4 are taken from [50, 51] and references

therein.

The main issue is to dope the NLCs to let them have proper conductivi-

ties. In the following, we will discuss some techniques we use for I52 and N4

sepeartely.

2.2.1 N4

For N4, it is relatively easy. Following [50], we dope it with tetra butylam-

monium bromide [TBAB, (C4H9)4NBr]. The doping process works like the

following:

1. Choose a few small glass bottles with tight caps and a small Teflon coated

magnetic stirring bar. Ultrasound them in acetone for 3 minutes, then

ultrasound in Isopropanol for 3 minutes, then completely rinse inside of

the bottles and the bar with DI water. Blow dry. Put the bar in one

bottle. And let them stay in 110C oven for one hour.

2. Put the bottle with the stirring bar on a balance of precision of 0.1mg

and zero the balance, put TBAB small crystals one by one until it weighs

0.0021g.

3. Fill in N4 NLC, until it measures 2.1604g, when it is close to the weight

one needs, fill N4 drop by drop.

4. put the solution on a stirring plate, stir for a few days, but do not

heat[50]. We then have a 970 ppm (by weight) solution.

5. put another clean bottle on the balance, zero it. Fill in desired amount

of pure N4, then the 970ppm solution. Let it stay for days before use.

6. repeat the last step to get even more diluted solutions. The original

solution can be the 970ppm solution or the solution made in the last

step depending on which one is easier.

Solutions up to 0.3%(by weight) concentration were tested, and TBAB was

able to completely dissolve in N4, but its conducitivity is too large(more than

2 × 10−5(Ω · m)−1), and the resistive heating created many small bubbles in

the cell. Therefore, we did not try anymore on concentrations higher than

970ppm.

Table 2.1 lists a few concentrations tested and measured conductivities and

dielectric constants at 30C with applied cell voltage 2.0V.

The conductivity of N4 is relatively stable.

2.2.2 I52

As noted in [7], many factors affect properties of doped I52 and it is an

art to dope it to get a conductivity of desired ranges. In our many trials,

we find that the following procedure usually gets to a conductivity in a more

controlled way:

1. Make a highly doped solution with I2. For example, our I52-XX1 bottle,

0.100g I2 was added into 0.9958 I52(I2/I52=0.10). The cleaning and

mixing procedures are the same as doping N4. Then the bottle and

the stirring plate are all put in an oven of 50 ∼ 55C (we do not use

stirring hot plate as the heat is not uniform and the solution temperature

is hard to tell). Stir the solution for a few days. The solution will

become very dark. We initially intended to use this solution to get

a big enough conductivity to last a long time. We indeed got a big

conductivity, around 3 × 10−8(Ω · m)−1. However, we could not observe

any convection. We also notice a possible change of its melting point.

We kept a few doped I52 solution bottles in a fridge and noticed that

those lightly doped froze and those highly doped stayed in a dark-colored

fluid like state. The exact mechanism of this change is unknown. One

guess is that some chemical reactions happened during the heating and

stirring process3, and the resulting product(s) may not be a NLC at our

measuring temperature (around 50C), although it is highly conductive

compared to the original NLC.

2. Use the dark-colored solution produced in the last step to increase con-

ductivity of a solution without enough conductivity. In our case, we used

this solution to charge our I52-XX10 solution(I2:I52=0.017, total mass is

3It seems stirring is affecting the color of the solution. Without stirring, even a highlydoped solution only get a pink color, the color then fades away in a year or so.

0.604g)4. We added 0.2801g I52-XX1 (I52-XX1:I52-XX10 ∼ 0.46 5). A

trick in estimating the mass the solution added is to use a 28 gauge nee-

dle to add drop by drop and one drop is about 7mg and its fair constant

during a couple of trials.

3. The solution is then stirred in the same condition as step 1 for one day

and put in a fridge to keep I2 from evaporating.

The solution prepared by the above procedure initially had a conductivity

of 1.6 × 10−8(Ω · m)−1. It then drifted nearly exponentially, see Fig. 2.9. In

about 9 days, it only had less than half of the initial value. It was expected

to settle down at 0.7 × 10−8(Ω · m)−1

2.3 Cell Construction

All our EC cells consist of two glass plates separated by a spacer and

sealed on all four sides after filling in the LCs. The steps are (as in [7])

glass preparation(including electrode process and patterning if applicable),

alignment, sealing and filling. For local detecting electrode cells, most of the

effort was spent in process and patterning the electrodes and we will discuss

this separately in Sect. 6.2. For all the cells, alignment is critical and we

explored a couple of methods and I will focus on photo-alignment using Rolic’s

[63] linearly photopolymerizable polymer (LPP) technology[61, 62].

In our experiments, we also used commercial LC cells from E.H.C. Japan

[52]. The structures of these cells are similar to those made in our lab.

4We chose to recharge old solutions which did not work just for convenience. Presumably,using pure I52 should work as well.

5It should be slightly bigger than this, as we took out a few drops to test during theprocess.

2.3.1 Glass Preparation

All the glass slides we used are coated with indium-tin oxide (ITO) at one

side. Initially, we used those described in [7] and they are 2.5 mm thick soda-

lime glass free samples from Libbey-Owen. But we later switched to 1.1 mm

thick glass from Delta Tech. Ltd. [53] exclusively. They have several choices

in glass types, sizes and ITO resistivity. We have tried both polished float

(soda-lime) and Corning 1737 aluminosilicate glass with nominal ITO coating

thickness 120∼160 nm( sheet resistance Rs = 8 ∼ 12 Ω for float glass CG-51IN,

and 5 ∼ 15 Ω for 1737 glass CB-50IN.). We prefer 1737 as it has a smaller

coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) (37.6× 10−7/C vs. 77 ∼ 85× 10−7/C

for float glass[54]), therefore can stand thermal treatment better. They have

different sizes to choose from. Initially, we chose 25 mm × 25 mm size as all

the cells are made of slides of this size. Later on, we chose 14′′ × 14′′ size and

cut it into 53mm × 53mm pieces. The reasons for this are that this makes it

much cheaper than buying smaller size, and we can process four 25 mm×25

mm areas each time and then cut it into 4 pieces. To cut the glass, we can

use a glass cutter with a cutting wheel, but this only gives us a very crude

size, and makes it is harder for assembling two slides into one cell. For precise

cutting, we use a Disco dicing saw in the UCSB cleanroom[55].

One must wear a pair of gloves for the following operations. The gloves

should be dust free.

We first clean the 53 mm × 53 mm glass slides. We basically follow the

procedure in [7] with slight modifications.

1. Put the slides in a wafer basket[57] made of PFA from Entegris Inc.[56].

The basket can hold up to 12 slides, but we usually do not put so many

due to the limitation of beaker diameter, and beaker diameter is in turn

limited by the size of the ultrasonic bath we have.

36

Page 53: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

2. Dip the basket together with the slide into home liquid detergent solution

for a few hours to overnight, rinse with tap water, then deionized(DI)

water. This step is optional.

3. Ultrasound the slides in Liquinox and ammonium hydroxide solution(350

ml DI water, 50 ml ammonium hydroxide and 40 ml Liquinox) for 15 ∼30 min.

4. Rinse with DI water.

5. The above steps are in our own labs. The following steps sometimes

are in our own labs, sometimes in cleanroom depending on what steps

follow this clean procedure. If next operate in cleanroom, blow dry with

nitrogen gas and store each slide in a 4′′ (H22-40) or 3′′ (H22-35) wafer

shipper[58].

6. Ultrasound for 20 min in acetone(certified ACS grade). Do 3 min if in

cleanroom.

7. Ultrasound for 20 min in Isopropanol(certified ACS grade). Do 3 min if

in cleanroom.

8. Rinse with DI water.

9. Blow dry with nitrogen gas

10. Dry the slides on 110C hotplate for 2 min.

Each time we begin a new process on the slides, we need to clean the slides

with acetone and isopropanol following the above step 6 to step 10.

Next, we need to evaporate insulating layer(s) onto the ITO side. [7]

described three types of evaporated layers: uniform insulating layer to form a

non-injecting boundary condition for EC, ”beaches” used to confine convecting

region and alignment layer. We do not use evaporation to align LC molecules,

37

Page 54: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

so we never used the alignment layer. And we seldom use the beaches. If they

are needed, one can refer to [7] for the details. Unlike the ITO coated glass

used in [7], the glass we used does not have an insulating layer initially, we

therefore need to apply one by ourselves. One can use the method in [7] to

evaporate a layer of SiO. An easier way is to used plasma enhanced chemical

vapor deposition(PECVD)[141] to grow a layer of SiO2. A PECVD apparatus

is available at the UCSB cleanroom[55] and it takes much less time to deposit

the film. The deposition is done at 250C and the rate of growth is about 40

nm/min. For this insulating layer, we usually grow 400 nm and the total time

for this process is about 20 min and it is done automatically. The PECVD

chamber can hold up to four 53 mm × 53 mm slides. After the deposition,

the thickness of the resulting SiO2 layer can be checked by an F20 Filmetrics

Thin-Film Measurement System[59] also available at the UCSB cleanroom[55].

And the measurements show that the thickness is fairly close to 400 nm.

If needed, we can also used the PECVD to evaporate “beaches”. For this,

we have to use a different scheme from that in [7], i.e. first grow a thicker

layer of SiO2, then apply the beach pattern[7] either by photolithography,

or painting photoresist directly(the pattern is big, paint directly should be

doable), then controlled etch away the a predetermined thickness in the region

not covered. The etch rate for PECVD grown SiO2 is 520 nm/min in buffered

HF solution[60].

2.3.2 Alignment

We only used planar alignment in our experiments. In [7], it had been

shown that rubbing polyimide film worked for aligning I52. We tested and

found that it worked for N4 as well. Oblique-angle evaporation of SiO was

briefly tested for N4 and it was not successful, and it was not carried on any

further. For a long time, we have stuck to rubbing polyimide which is also

standard method of alignment for LCD industry.

But this alignment is dirty and unpredictable sometimes, makes the result-

with I52 at relatively low-conductivity where it was found that the pattern

tends to start locally. For our purpose of study STC in I52 convection, it is

desirable to have a big area of uniform convection and we found it is extremely

difficult to achieve this using the previous methods. We then turned our ef-

fort to a relatively new method: photo-alignment using Rolic’s [63] linearly

photopolymerizable polymer(LPP) technology[61, 62].

Photo-alignment works by using LPP materials in which an anisotropy can

be induced when illuminated with polarized UV light. The anisotropy in turn

aligns the liquid crystal in contact. The LPP material we used is polymer

solution ROP 203/2 CP[64] from Rolic and a detailed technical data sheet on

the material and how to use it can be found in [65]. Below I will describe the

detailed setup and operations here at UCSB.

The setup consists of a UV mercury lamp, a few filters, a UV polarizer, a

shutter apparatus to control exposure time and a sample holder(Fig. 2.10.

The LPP is sensitive to 280 ∼ 330nm UV light[65]. Therefore, we need

to use a UV light source which provides enough light in that range. We

were recommended to use a doped medium pressure mercury lamp[66]. But

that is rather expensive. We have tested an MB-100 UV lamp(without its

original black glass filter) from Spectronics Corporation[67], and an MJB 3

UV400 mask aligner in the UCSB cleanroom[55]. With proper filters, they

work pretty well. Fig. 2.11 and Fig. 2.12 are the spectra of the MB-100 lamp

and MJB 3 UV400 aligner. We see that the strongest peaks are i-line (365nm)

and other visible peaks which we do not want. But we do have some power

at 313nm and 335nm. We use a UG5[68] black glass to filter out most visible

light.

The UV polarizer is HNP’B type from 3M[70]. It is a plastic polarizer,

rather delicate and expensive, so we sandwiched it between two WG280[69]

filters to protect it from scratch and overexposure.

Two setups were tested using the MB-100 lamp and the MJB3 UV400

aligner respectively. The one using the MB-100 lamp was made in our lab.

A 8” long metal tube houses the components in Fig. 2.10. It keeps UV light

from coming into the lab. The tube should be long enough to let the UV

polarizer far from the lamp bulb as it can get very hot in less than 3 minutes

of exposure to melt the plastic polarizer. The shutter is a simple movable

aluminum plate and the exposure is controlled manually. Using the aligner

makes the operation much easier. It has a build-in exposure control system

to control UV light intensity and exposure time. In this case, the WG280

filters and the polarizer are fixed in an aluminum plate of the size of a photo

lithography mask and clamped onto the aligner like a mask and the UG5 filter

is put into the light path after finishing alignment(because it is dark, one

cannot make alignment with it in the optical path).

With enough exposure, the LPP gives a planar alignment with zero tilt

angle[65] which is exactly we need. We are looking for an exposure energy of

50 ∼ 200mJ/cm2[65]. Too much more than this amount may possibly damage

the LPP layer. We do not have the ability to directly measure the absolute

41

Page 58: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

light intensity in the 280 ∼ 330nm range. But since the exposure energy range

is rather wide, we can roughly estimate that from their spectra in Fig. 2.11

and Fig. 2.12. For the aligner, we know that the 405 nm line is controlled

to be 7.5mW/cm2[71]. By measuring the areas (subtract the constant part)

covered by 298, 302,313, 335 and 405nm peaks, we estimate that the usable

light power (below 340nm) is roughly 5.5mW/cm2. Then after passing each

filter and polarizer, there is some energy loss, at the useful range, UG5 and

WG280 can pass about 90% of the incoming light, the UV polarizer passes

20%. So the final polarized light intensity is about 0.8mW/cm2. We therefore

need to expose 60 ∼ 250 seconds. We fix this time to be 135 seconds in

all our operations. For the home-made system, the absolute light intensity

is unknown, but it is quite strong, testing showed that using 2 minutes was

enough.

The exact procedure for alignment is as following:

1. Clean glass slide: ultrasound in acetone and isopropanol for 3 minutes

each, rinse with DI water and blow dry.

2. Dehydrate the slides on a 130C hotplate for 1.5 minutes, cool for a few

minutes before the next step.

3. Spin-coat LPP solution at 3000rpm for 60 seconds.

4. Dry the slides on a 130C hotplate for 10 minutes to remove residual

solvent.

5. Put one slide in the exposure apparatus, align the desired director direc-

tion to be parallel to the polarization direction. Slide in the UG5 black

glass if using an aligner.

6. Expose for designated time (135 seconds for aligner, about 2 minutes for

using MB-100 lamp).

42

Page 59: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

After the above steps, we can go on to assemble the finished slides into

cells. The LPP solution is stored in a refridgerator between 2C and 18C in

the original bottle. No light should be shined on the solution.

We have tested this method for I52 and N4 and they all work very well.

The patterns near onset in these cells are much more uniform than any other

cells made by other methods tested by us.

2.3.3 Sealing and filling

The sealing and filling procedures mostly are similar to those in [7] and

most cases, simpler than those.

We used two methods to make spacers. First one is that describe in

[7], cutting spacers out of some thin plastic films. Two plastic films from

Goodfellow[72] are used, mylar and polyvinylfluoride (PVF). The film was cut

into many small pieces of about 7mm × 50mm6, washed with DI water and

stored in DI water for future use.

We can use the above method to make cells of most thicknesses we needed,

from a few microns to 100 microns. But when the film is very thin(< 10µm),

it is hard to handle. Also, it was believed that absorption of dopant by spacers

is one of the most important reasons for cell conductance drift[7], and in [7],

Dennin found that glass did not absorb I2 significantly. An alternative way

of making spacers which we just briefly tested is by depositing SiO2. This is

done before we make the alignment layer. We first cover the region of slides

where NLC will be filled in with high temperature vacuum grease and leave the

spacer region uncovered. Then we deposit SiO2 to designated thickness using

PECVD or Unaxis VLR Etch and Deposition tool in the UCSB cleanroom[55]

at 100C7. Then the deposited slides are soaked in toluene for a few hours

6narrower ones were tried, but it was found that cells with wider ones had better thicknessuniformity.

7It is desirable to use a vacuum grease which works well at 250C since deposition at250C is better and one does not have to change the default temperature which takes verylong time, but we could not find one.

43

Page 60: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

(ultrasound them if needed) to take away the vacuum grease. Then the slides

are throughly cleaned to go onto alignment layer step. I tested this to make

4 µm spacers and it works fairly well. But it probably will not work for thick

spacers as the stress build-up in depositing thick film will cause the film to

break and fall off. Also, due to the film growth rated limitation(about 40

nm/min for PECVD and less for the Unaxis tool), it will cost too much time.

Fig. 2.13 shows the assembling process. Two short lines denote two equiv-

alent positions on the two slides (inscribed on the nonconducting sides for as-

sembly identification). In photo-alignment process, these two slides are jointed

as in Fig. 2.13 and then broken along the middle line, or in rubbing process,

these two slides are holding on the same direction relative to these two short

lines. The directions of the two short lines are the polarization direction or

rubbing direction. If using plastic film spacers, blow dry two spacers, put them

along the two edges parallel to the short lines. Flip the other slide to let the

conducting side face down, align it with the first slide, leave about 5 mm not

overlapping for attaching wires. Use two paper clips to clamp them together.

Leave them in 110C oven overnight. This is to get rid of the water absorbed

by the spacers, also it was found that heated cells are slightly thinner than

not heated ones. For instance, using 23 µm mylar spacers, heated cells usually

measure about 20 µm thickness, while non-heated ones are about 26 ∼ 27µm.

Presumably, a thinner cell shows that spacers are well in contact with slides

and the final cell will be sturdier.

Then with the clips still on, the two edges parallel to director are sealed

with Torr Seal[73]. Heat at 60C for two hours. Take off the two clips and heat

another couple of hours. Visually check the interference fringes under room

light to have a general idea of the thickness variation across the whole cell.

Usually at the center of the cell, there should be very few fringes. Measure

the empty cell thicknesses at a few positions of the cell with an F20 Filmetrics

Thin-Film Measurement System[59].

spacer

Figure 2.13: Schematic of first few steps of the assembling process.

Filling is done by putting a few drops of NLC at one of two edges not

sealed. The NLC will be sucked in by capillary force rather quickly. Since the

opening is big, one usually does not have any bubbles at initial filling. After

sealing and in use, sometimes some bubbles appear. As long as they are not

in regions of interest, the cell is still usable. If there are no bubbles or the

bubbles do not affect the observed areas, there is no need to put the cell in

vacuum.

After the cell is filled, use a clean room wipe to wipe clean the remaining

NLC. Seal it with Torr seal. Leave in 50C oven for 2 hours to let it cure. Clean

the whole cell with a cleanroom wipe and acetone to remove any remaining

NLC residue.

The remaining task is to attach wires. Since we deposited a layer of in-

sulating SiO2, we need first break a small area of the film using a scriber to

expose the conducting ITO layer. Put a little indium on the exposed area,

press with a hard object and indium will stick on the surface. Put a stripped

30 gauge single-strand wire on the flattened indium, put a little more indium

on the wire, press and the wire will stick onto the glass. If needed, one or

more extra joints can be make by repeating the above procedure. Finally,

apply Torr seal to cover all the indium joints to protect them and let it cure.

This finishes making a cell.

45

Page 62: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

We can inspected the alignment by putting the cell in between a pair of

cross polarizers during and after the filling process. The cell acts like a (not

very good) polarizer and it allows light to pass through when the director is

45o to the other polarization directions. Alignment defects can be views at

some positions. This also gives us a general idea how uniform the cell is.

Newly made cells usually experience a fast conductivity drop during the

first ten days or so(see Fig. 2.9), possibly due to the absorption of ions by

all the surfaces. And conductivity changes are much more in I52 cells than

N4 cells. After initial fast drop, the conductivity mostly will still drop slowly,

and depending on its applied voltages history, it may increase as well. If time

allows, before we make any measurements, we can store the cell for some days,

apply a voltage or not.

Chapter 3

Introduction: Spatio-temporalchaotic state right above apattern forming transition

Chaos usually denotes persistent temporal irregular behavior of a low-

dimensional deterministic system, and it has been extensively studied in the

past few decades and methods have been developed for analyzing chaotic be-

haviors, such as measuring Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimensions of

strange attractors[74].

When we talk about spatially extended deterministic systems, we can

extend the concept of chaos to those states which show irregular behaviors

in both spatial and temporal domains and call them spatial-temporal chaos

(STC)[75, 1]. One of best known examples of STC in controlled experimental

conditions is the spiral defect chaos[76] state in small Prandtl number RBC.

The fascinating thing about STC is that it appears so often in nature, and

yet it is very hard to explain quantitatively. To study it, as a first step, one

natural way is to extend the successful methods of temporal chaos. First, in

a small system (for classifying small system and large system, see[1], roughly

speaking, the correlation length of the system of order of the system size),

it is expected that some of the methods in temporal chaos may apply. And

there has been a lot of work on this aspect[1]. For example, we can calculated

48

Page 65: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

the Lyapunov exponents of the system, generalized dimensions of strange at-

tractors in the system. For large systems, there have been attempts to apply

similar ideas in temporal chaos studies, a recent example is the application of

Lyapunov spectral method in spiral defect chaos[78]. Another direction is to

consider the case where the system size is much larger than the correlation

length of the system, and it is expected, some statistical description should

apply, an example of this kind work is shown in [77].

One of the difficulties in studying STC is that most of it occur as a result of

a transition (or bifurcation) from a base state that already has an intricate but

nonchaotic spatial and/or temporal behavior. Therefore, our most systematic

theoretical tool, expanding around a simple base state by one (or more) small

parameter(s) will not work.

Fortunately, there have been a few cases where STC evolves directly from

the uniform state as the system is driven from the first bifurcation point. One

of the most studied cases is the domain chaos[79, 80, 81, 82, 83] state for ro-

tating RBC after undergoing Kuppurts-Lortz (KL) instability. KL [4] showed

that when the rotation rate is greater than some critical value, a straight set of

roll pattern will lose its stability to another set of rolls at some angle θc relative

to the original set. The new set will in turn lose its stability to another set

at a further angle of θc, and so so. So that in this system, there is no stable

steady pattern. A few other systems have similar mechanism to destabilize

the original roll pattern. In RBC with free-free boundaries, for sufficiently

low Prandtl numbers σ < 0.543, straight rolls are unstable with respect to

the skewed-varicose instability immediately above onset [84, 85, 86, 87]. In

homeotropically aligned NLC EC, the presence of an additional Goldstone

mode destabilizes the original rolls[89] . In homeotropically aligned NLC with

σa < 0 and ǫa > 0, it was predicted[92] that there was a direct transition

to a stationary pattern that is destabilized by zig-zag instability leading to

disorder or to an ordered quasiperiodic pattern. And finally, in our STC state

in our plannar EC in NLC I52[14], isolated zig and zag rolls are unstable with

49

Page 66: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

respect to a superposition to traveling rectangles[93], and this leads to a direct

transition to STC state.

In the above systems, RBC with free-free boundaries with small Prandtl

numbers is hard to realize in a lab experiment, there is only a simulation

result[88]. In the case for homeotropically aligned NLC with σa < 0 and

ǫa > 0, no definite result on STC has been reported[92]. There has been

experimental report on homeotropically aligned NLC EC with MBBA[90, 91].

In this dissertation, we will discuss and compare the two cases which we have

studied in our group, the KL domain chaos and STC in plannar EC in I52.

In the KL domain chaos state, the system has a rotational symmetry and

therefore, there are infinite modes in this continuous system. But based on that

θc is close to 2π/3, Busse and Heikes[79] first considered three couple dynamical

equations for three amplitudes of three modes with relative orientation 2π/3

to each other. Tu and Cross[80] introduced spatial dependence in the three

amplitudes and wrote down three coupled amplitude equations.

∂tA1 = ξ20∂

2x1

A1 + A1(ε − gA21 − g−A2

2 − g+A23), (3.1)

1τ0

∂tA3 = ξ20∂

2x3

A3 + A3(ε − gA23 − g−A2

1 − g+A22). (3.3)

where A1, A2 and A3 are the amplitudes of the three modes and assumed to

be real, ε = RRc

− 1 is the reduced control parameter. Due to the rotation and

therefore lack of reflection symmetry, the coupling constants g− and g+ are

generally not equal. Making scaling transformation t → τ0t/ε, xi → ξ0xi/√

ε,

Ai →√

εAi, we have the scaled equations

∂tA1 = ∂2x1

A1 + A1(1 − gA21 − g−A2

2 − g+A23), (3.4)

and equations for A2 and A3.

With this simplified model, Tu and Cross[80] could simulate the domain

chaotic behavior.

50

Page 67: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

With the three scaled coupled Ginzburg-Landau (GL) type equations, the

simplest predictions is that the correlation length ξ ∝ ε−1/2 and correlation

time τ ∝ ε−1. Their further simulation using generalized Swift-Hohenberg

(SH) equations for this rotating convection problem and the predictions from

SH are consistent with the GL equation approach, although the simulation

data seem to be insufficient to infer precise exponents.

Hu et al[82] experimentally measured the correlation length ξ and switching

frequency ωa of the domain dynamics. Surprisingly, the experimental data

could be fit by power laws in ε only when exponent values much smaller than

those predicted from the amplitude equations were used. In [82], they got

approximately 0.17 for the exponent of ξ and 0.6 for the exponent of τ .

Here we have a case of clear contradiction between theoretical models and

experimental data, for the simplest possible things in a STC state, the cor-

relation length and correlation time. This is quite puzzling. Further efforts

were taken in both experimental and simulation aspects. One consideration in

experimental system is the effect of system sidewall, especially the injection of

defects from the sidewall was considered. Cells with ramped sidewall[94, 95]

were used to eliminate this effect and this does not seem make the experimental

results different too much[96]. In simulation aspect, Cross et al [83] measured

correlation length ξ for cell of different aspect ratio Γ and they suggested that

the discrepancy between experiment and theory might be due to the finite size

of the experimental system.

Vigorous experimental and numerical investigation on the correlation length

and time scaling is still going on in this group[97]. While we keep our effort on

this system, it is very helpful to look at a different system of with completely

different symmetry while still having a direct transition to STC. And STC in

plannar EC in I52 is good choice for this comparison.

In [14], Dennin et al described this state and they pointed out that this

STC state happens right above onset and that it is a supercritical bifurcation.

They also identified the region where this state appears[15, 7] (EC1 region

51

Page 68: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

in Figure 5 in [15], for their I52 cell of thickness of 28 µm, it appeared at

conductivity around 1 × 10−8 (Ω m)−1). At this conductivity, right above

onset, it enters EC1 region. At about ε = 0.055, it enters SO1 region at which

stationary pattern appears.

The weakly nonlinear analysis has been carried out for EC based on WEM

(see Chap. 1) by Treiber and Kramer[93, 8]. The details of the coupled complex

GL equation are rather complicate. We can write down the GL equation

symbolically without knowing all the nonlinear coupling constants. There are

four modes in our system, right-traveling zig, left-traveling zig, right-traveling

zag and left-traveling zag rolls. Their amplitudes are A1, A2, A3 and A4

respectively.

τ0∂tA1 = εA1 + ξ20∇2A1 − gA1(|A1|2 + b|A2|2 + c|A3|2 + d|A4|2) (3.5)

+ three other equations for A2, A3, A4.

where ε = V 2/V 2c −1 is the reduced control parameter. We can make the same

transformation as for Eq. 3.1 ∼ 3.3 and reach a form without ε, therefore, in

these approach, we can predict that we have similar scaling relationships as

for Tu-Cross model: the correlation length ξ ∝ ε−1/2 and correlation time

τ ∝ ε−1.

In the next chapter, we will discuss our experimental setup and results of

our measurement of the correlation length ξ to compare with this prediction

and the results from KL domain chaos measurements.

Chapter 4

Length Scales in STC Phase

4.1 Experimental Details

All the experiments on STC are done using cells filled with NLC I52. We

have discussed the NLC (Sect. 2.2) and the making of the cells (Sect. 2.3).

A few batches of cells were tested. Since the most critical step in mak-

ing cells is the alignment, we tested both rubbing polyimide (PI) and photo-

alignment using linearly photopolymerizable polymer technology (see Sect. 2.3.2).

It was found that using photo-alignment gives much better uniformity than

using rubbing PI. Since all the considerations about GL equations and corre-

lation length in Chap. 3 are based on the assumption that the pattern forming

system has a translational symmetry, a uniform cell is strongly desirable. At a

small ε, we can take a visually uniform image over an area of 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm

for our best rubbing-PI cell and 3.4 mm × 3.4 mm for our best photo-alignment

cell X801 1 (the cells are similar in thickness 19 ∼ 26 µm). In the following,

we will only discuss the results obtained from cell X801 1 run 102804 (means

that it started on Oct. 28, 2004). The thickness of the cell is d = 19.4 µm. All

the images were taken at temperature of 55C, and at this temperature, the

conductivity is about 1.0 × 10−8 (Ω m)−1.

We use the microscope setup (setup 2, see Chap. 2), in order to observe

a big area, a 1X lens is used. To avoid any interference from ambient light,

53

Page 70: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

a big black plastic trash can is used to cover the whole microscope when we

have a run for taking data.

We first visually estimate the onset of the cell. We start from a voltage

below onset, take 2048 images, wait for 1800 seconds, increase the voltage to

another point and take another 2048 images. We repeat this step until we

reach our largest set voltage. Then we decrease the voltage and do the same

thing until we reach one voltage below our onset point. In our cell X801 1,

the EC1 to SO1 transition happens at about ε = 0.075, we therefore choose

our largest voltage to let ε ≈ 0.05. Our image size is 512 pixel × 512 pixel

(we bin four neighboring pixels into one, therefore on the CCD array, the

image covers an area of 1024 pixel × 1024 pixel which is the largest square our

camera can take). In our image, one pixel distance corresponds to 6.65µm

physical distance in the cell which is 0.342d (CCD pixel physical distance is

6.7µm).

4.2 EC onset

First the onset of the convection is determined. We choose a low voltage

among our 50 voltage points, which is 9.740V, then average all the 2048 im-

ages and obtain an average image as our background image for division (see

Sect. 2.1.1) which is shown in Figure 4.11. We then process the images at differ-

ent voltage separately. First, divide all the images (an example in Figure 4.2)

by the background image and obtain the divided images (see Figure 4.3). A

FFT is then performed on the divided images (Figure. 4.4). Note that this

FFT image has all the harmonics and low wave-number noise near k = 0, all

these are filtered out in Figure 4.5 and we only leave four fundamental peaks.

In Figure 4.4, the left-traveling and right-traveling components are not sepa-

where P0 is a small power due to noise below onset and its exact value does

not affect our determination of the onset too much.

Figure 4.6 shows the fit to points below and slight above onset. We can see

that above onset, the lines fit rather well. This confirms that the bifurcation

is supercritical. The up-points and down-points do not collapse because the

material properties drift. This is not hysteresis because that would mean that

the down points have a lower onset, but our measurements shows an increase

of the onset.

Since there is a drift in onset voltage and we need to know ε = V 2/V 2c − 1

accurately to infer an accurate scaling exponent, we should make a correction

to the drift. The simplest correction is to assume the onset voltage square

drifts linearly with time. We have the time when each point was taken, which

is listed along with numerical values of Figure 4.6 in Appendix A. The time

dependent onset voltage Vc(t) is given by

V 2c (t) = 105.39 + 1.49871 × 10−6 (t − 26838099) (t in seconds). (4.2)

4.3 Determination of correlation length

We need to determine the correlation lengths of the zig and zag modes.

Since there are both right-traveling and left traveling modes, strictly, we need

to separate them, but most times, only one zig and one zag mode dominate[98],

we only need to separate them into zig and zag modes and determine their

correlation lengths separately. Since Fourier peaks above onset have rather

narrow width which only cover a few pixels, it is not easy to determine the

correlation length from Fourier space. We will separate them in Fourier space

and then measure the correlation length in real space.

We use the same images for determining onset for this purpose. Image

division and Fourier transformation are the same as above. We use a different

Fourier filter to leave only one zig fundamental peak in Figure 4.7.2 The filter

is centered around the zig peak position and it tapers off at 0.1k0 and becomes

zero at 0.2k0. The zag peak is processed separately following the exact same

procedures and we will only discuss the processing of zig peak in the following.

The single zig peak is then back Fourier transformed and the amplitude of

the complex modulus is taken. As mentioned before, we have tried very hard to

make the cell uniform, but unfortunately, there is always some nonuniformity

present in our cell (over 3.4 mm × 3.4 mm which is a huge area). To minimize

the effect of this nonuniformity, we first average all the 2048 amplitude images

and get an average image, Figure 4.8, which should contain the nonuniformity

information of the zig pattern. This background image is then subtracted from

each individual amplitude image pixel by pixel and the zig amplitude image

for Figure 4.3 is shown in Figure 4.9.

(4.5)

Since the Fourier amplitudes of our images are centered around q ≈ k0 and q ≈ −k0 , ifwe keep only positive q (qx > 0 and qy > 0, first quardent) and cut off the negative peak(leaving only negative peak will get the same result). We have

A′(q) = 12eiφA0(q − k0) (4.6)

Take the back Fourier transform,

Thus we get the amplitude of the zig pattern.

We need to extract some length scale(s) from the average correlation image.

Usually, we assume correlation function has the form[1]

C(δr)∼

δr→∞ exp(−δr/ξ) (4.10)

For our experimental system, we are not able to measure correlation at very

large δr because we are limited by the system nonuniformity. Although we

have tried to correct it, our measurements at large δr are still not very reliable,

one thing is that they do not approach zero as expected (see, Figure 4.12 (b)).

Therefore, we are forced to use values at small δr to deduce our length scale(s).

For that, we do not have theoretical prediction in either real space or Fourier

space as Eq. 3.5 is not solvable for ε > 0. We found that at small δr data fit

to Gaussian form rather well3

is also closer to ε−1/4. A direct fit yields an exponent of about 0.33. So our

measurements on this system confirm the finding in KL domain chaos system.

However, the data points are rather scattered, and the scheme for determi-

nation of length scales needs further consideration. Further investigation is

needed for drawing a firm conclusion.

For the short axis, the length is rather short and does not change much for

ε region where we obtain our scaling for long-axis length. The data at region

very close to the onset are less certain.

chaos system[82]. But both of them are inconsistent with GL equation predic-

tions.

Further work is needed to improve the uniformity of the convection pattern.

A possible solution is to use more controlled and bigger stiffer plates, for

instance, polished sapphire plates of 2 in or more and evaporate uniform ITO

layer on them for electrodes. For the most critical step, the alignment, photo-

alignment is still preferred, but a bigger and more uniform linear polarized UV

light source is desirable. And finally, the thickness of the cell at different edge

should be controlled by fine-tuning screws to adjust the thickness of the cell.

This is a construction similar to the very thin RBC cells used in [100], only

that the paper side wall should be replaced with plastic spacers. Presumably,

a very uniform (in both alignment and thickness) will produce much uniform

pattern and with a very big cell, we always have the freedom to choose a

uniform region out of the whole cell. With a cell uniform over 200d or more,

we should be able to deduce the correlation function at large distance and this

could be used to fit to the structure-factor-independent correlation function

Eq. 4.10. In Eq. 4.10, the meaning of ξ is more clear and we can make a direct

comparison with ξ in GE equations 3.5.

Chapter 5

Introduction

5.1 Previous work on global current fluctua-

tion measurements in EC

EC has been mostly studied with shadowgraph technique (see Sect. 2.1.1)

and this works very well in the vicinity of the threshold and we can quantita-

tively measure the effective index of refraction field and therefore the director

tilt field. But for driving slightly away from the threshold, the shadowgraph

image becomes hard to interpret quantitatively. This is due to the inherent

nonlinear nature of liquid crystal optics. We need to measure the tilt δn of

the director field n. Due to the invariance under the transformation of n to

−n, the optical response of the shadowgraph always has a term proportional

to δn2. There is also a linear contribution (proportional to δn) for cells with

finite thickness (see [19] for detail). But for most cases (thin cells like we used

in our experiments), even when it is only slightly away from the threshold,

the quadratic term wins and in most of images we took, second harmonics are

very strong. For small ε’s, one can still use Fourier filtering to get rid of the

higher harmonics. When ε becomes of order 1 (see. Figure 7.1 (ε = 0.93)), it

is hard to infer much information from the shadowgraph images.

71

An alternative method for studying EC is to measure the electrical current

passing through the cell. To our knowledge, this kind of work was first carried

out by Kai et al.[101]. Later Gleeson and coworkers [102, 103, 104, 105],

and Goldburg and coworkers [106, 104] did a series of work on this kind of

measurements.

In [102, 103], Gleeson and coworkers proposed to measure the global trans-

port near onset and in a turbulent regime of convection in cells filled with

MBBA. An electric Nusselt number is defined to characterize the current trans-

port:

Nr(ε) = Ir

I0r− 1 (5.1)

where I0r = σ⊥V S

d(V is the rms amplitude of the driving voltage) is the con-

duction state in-phase current and Ir is the in-phase current. It was found

that Nr is very close to zero for ε < 0 and beyond ε = 0, there is an abruptly

growth from zero. And for ε slightly larger than zero, Nr grows linearly against

ε (Figure 2 in [102]). This shows that the onset of the EC is a supercritical

bifurcation (in [102], they also showed that at this regime, Nr ∝ A2, where

A is the amplitude of the pattern.). In the turbulent convection region, they

made an analogy of the transport problem with that in turbulent RBC. In

certain regions of driving, they found a scaling relationship with respect to ε

which is similar to that found in burbulent RBC[108, 109, 110]. At very big

ε, it was observed that Nr ceases to grow which is very different from that in

turbulent RBC.

In [104, 106], Gleeson, Goldburg and coworkers looked at the fluctuations in

total power injected into their EC systems filled with MBBA and M5[111] (at

each ε, the driving rms voltage is fixed and current fluctuations are measured).

For the distribution of the power fluctuations, they did not found any sign

of deviations from Gaussian distributions for all the ε’s in all the cells they

measured. They found that in all their cells measured, as ε is increased above

≈ 0.2, the fluctuation amplitude (normalized by the average power injection)

σP / < P > increases dramatically by as much as an order of magnitude (see

72

Page 89: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

Figure 3 in [104]). The fluctuation amplitude continues to increase and reaches

its maximum at ε ∼ 1 and starts to decrease until ε reaches it maximum

measured value.

By comparing with their light transmission measurements (for light trans-

mission measurements, also see [107]), they concluded that the strong fluctu-

ations above ε ≈ 0.2 are due to spontaneous generation and annihilation of

dislocations in the roll pattern (Figure 1 in [104]). The defects start to be

generated at ε ≈ 0.2. As ε increases, more and more defects are generated

and the fluctuation amplitude increases. When the defects almost fill the cell,

further increase of driving can only squeeze the defect and the fluctuations

average out and the amplitude starts to decrease.

They also found that the relative fluctuation amplitudes scaled by the

aspect ratio of the cells collapse on to a single curve for ε > 0.2. Along with

that the distribution of the fluctuations is Gaussian, they concluded that the

defects are spatially uncorrelated. On the other hand, they observed that

the fluctuations are temporally correlated over quite long time for ε between

0.2 and 5 revealed by oscillations in the auto-correlation function ga(t) of the

fluctuation signal (Figure 4 in [104]). And the authors were puzzled that “a

large number of spatially uncorrelated defects gives rise to oscillations in ga(t)

correlated over such long times”.

Besides studying global transport properties and mechanism of fluctuation

generation in this specific system, another motivation for study the fluctuations

is related to a series of theorems with the general name of fluctuation theorem

(FT) [112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120] (for a general introduction

see [121]). One of the them is the Gallavotti-Cohen FT [114, 115] and it can

be seen as a generalization of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) for

steady state systems that are driven far from equilibrium, like our EC system

at a constant driving. The theorem is very mathematical and not easy to grasp.

We will roughly follow the formulation in [106] which may not be rigorous.

73

Page 90: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

Gallavotti and Cohen (GC) showed that, under appropriate conditions, the

system, assumed to have microscopic reversibility, and be driven into a chaotic

state, experiences such large fluctuations in the the dissipated power P that

sometimes P can become negative; i.e., the driven, dissipative system momen-

tarily can send energy back into the power supply that generates the chaotic

fluctuations. The theory makes a prediction about the ratio π(P )/π(−P )

where π(P ) is the probability of seeing P and π(−P ) is the probability of

seeing −P .

The GC theory is formulated in terms of the entropy production rate sτ =

Sτ , which is related to the dissipated energy1 by the system during a time

period τ by sτ = Pτ/(kBTss) where the steady-state temperature kBTss is

equal to the mean kinetic energy per particle. GC show that if the chaotic

motion in the system satisfies microscopic reversibility, then

π(sτ )/π(−sτ ) = exp(τsτ ) (5.2)

The above GC FT has been generalized by Kurchan[116] to systems un-

dergoing Langevin dynamics and by Lebowitz and Spohn to general Markov

processes[117]. The FT reduces to the FDT in the limit of vanishing driving

force[122].

In [106], the authors were able to neither measure any negative power

fluctuations nor verify Equ. 5.2 directly. Instead, by assuming that the fluc-

tuations around the mean is Gaussian for the complete range of power (they

have verified that the fluctuations near the mean is Gaussian. It is still possible

1Dissipated power P and injected power by the power source have the same mean, butthey are not necessarily the same at any moment as the system can store energy (in ECsystem, the cell has capacitance). But we will loosely use the injected power as the dissipatedpower. And van Zon and Cohen[126, 127] have generalized FT to include both dissipatedpower and injected power and the formalism of the probability ratio (Equ. 5.2) for both issimilar. But generally (e.g. two examples [123, 129] for which the probability distributionscan be rigorously calculated), these two qualities have different distributions[123, 124, 125,128, 129, 130]. The discussion of the example in [129, 130] is especially relevant to our casein EC.

that very rare large fluctuations described by the GC FT do not obey Gaus-

sian distribution.), an effective temperature can be derived from the standard

deviation σP of the fluctuations, which were also measured in [104] (Figure 3).

They assumed that GC FT applied to EC, they got

<P>τ(5.5)

Therefore, from their measurements of σP , they could derive a stationary sta-

tion temperature and they found that this temperature is significantly higher

than the ambient temperature of the cell. They attributed this temperature

to the mean kinetic energy of the quasiparticles in this system.

In the experimental test of FT in [123], they used an optical trap to drag

a colloidal particle in water and studied the ratio of entropy production and

consumption. And their findings are in agreement with FT prediction and

the temperature they found out was just the ambient water temperature. The

measurement in EC thus has some significance in this aspect. In [123], the

relevant system constituents are the water molecules, therefore the tempera-

ture measured represent the random motion of water molecules which are at

room temperature. In [106], the relevant constituents are the excitations from

the roll state, according to [104], they are defects in roll pattern and they are

macroscopic objects, therefore, they have a much bigger mean kinetic energy.

5.2 Local current fluctuations in EC

Our work started from this point. In [106], the authors had not been able

to see any negative fluctuations. Noticing the aspect ratio dependence of the

fluctuation amplitude in Figure 3 of [104], if one wants to see these negative

fluctuations, a natural way for measuring very big relative fluctuations is to

reduce the aspect ratio of the cell. But as the aspect ratio is reduced to

the order of 1, the boundary effects will dominate, and we will probably be

studying a very different system from the original spatially extended system.

And as we discussed above, it was the macroscopic excitations (defects) above

the roll state that give rise to the huge effective temperature which give us a

better chance of seeing large fluctuations from the mean. While the defects are

generated from the spatially extended rolls, getting rid of the spatial freedom

of the system will certainly eliminate them.

An alternative is to keep the spatially extended system intact and measure

the fluctuations locally. As pointed in [104], the defects are spatially uncorre-

lated, the relative fluctuation σP / < P > will be proportional to√

A, where

A is the measuring area.

All the above mentioned FTs are about the fluctuations of a global variable.

Motivated by the same reason to pursue large fluctuations in a portion of

a system, there has been theoretical [131, 132] and experimental[133, 134]

considerations on local variables for similar relationship as Equ. 5.2.

Another possible important thing we want to learn from local current mea-

surement is the properties of defects. In the above, we have discussed the

importance of the role of the defects in strongly driven EC. There are still

quite a lot unknown about the defects, such as the individual properties of

defects, the cause of the long correlation time in long correlation time in the

oscillations in auto-correlation function. We hope to shed some light on these

aspect as well.

In the following two chapters, we will first discuss the fabrication and

characterization of the cells for local current measurements in Chap. 6; then

we continue in Chap. 7 to discuss our results.

Chapter 6

Cell Preparation and Circuits

We need to make a cell with a local detecting electrode to measure current

going through a small area. Although this seems to be rather straightforward,

there are a few tricky points needed to be solved before we could actually make

a working cell. This is due to a few reasons, mainly that we are measuring

a very small current of pico-ampere order and the tricky nature of micropro-

cessing. In this chapter, we will first analyze the effective circuit of such a cell,

then we will incorporate the analysis results into our designs. This was not

the order the cell was actually designed, instead, we had to experiment on a

simple design first and then encountered problems and modified the design to

solving the problems. And we had to repeat this cycle for a few times.

6.1 Effective Circuit of the Cell

6.1.1 Effective Circuit

Schematically in Figure 6.1 we show a simple idea how to measure a cur-

rent flowing through a small area of one of the cell electrodes. The small area,

namely the detecting electrode, is connected to an AC-current-measuring de-

vice, in our case, a current-to-voltage preamplifier and a lock-in amplifier.

The current in turn flows back to ground. If we neglect the impedance of

the preamplifier, the detecting electrode is at the same potential of the main

electrode all the time. We will call the opposite electrode “collector” which

is directly connected to the driving source. The field between the main elec-

trode plus detecting electrode and the collector will be the same as that in an

ordinary cell without a detecting electrode, therefore, our detecting electrode

will be able to measure the local current without disturbing the convection.

Figure 6.3: Effective circuit of Figure 6.2. Only components affecting mea-surements are shown.

It is very different to make a micron-size hole out of a 1.1 mm thick glass

and make an electrode through the hole. Also, considering lead resistances and

stray capacitances, a more realistic cell construction is shown in Figure 6.2,

and its effective circuit diagram with all relevant components are shown in

Figure 6.3. The schematic drawing of each of these components for pho-

tolithography are in Sect. 6.2. The following is a description of all the effective

components:

Cs1, Cs2 and Cs3 are capacitance due to the insulating boundary(see 2.3.1).

With 400 nm SiO2, the capacitance is about 89pF/mm2.

R0 and C0 are the effective resistance and capacitance of the main con-

vection cell. Initially, the collector and the main electrode were designed to

79

Page 96: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

be 8 mm × 8 mm and 10 mm× 10 mm respectively, later they were reduced to

2 mm × 2 mm and 5 mm × 5 mm due to the reason which will be mentioned

below. For a typical doping level of 293 ppm in weight, and a 20 µm thick cell,

it has a resistance of 12 MΩ and and a capacitance of 10 pF for 2 mm× 2 mm.

R1 and C1 are the effective resistance and capacitance of the local elec-

trodes to the collector. For an 8 µm one of above conditions, the resistance is

about 740 GΩ and the capacitance is about 0.23 fF. This capacitance is much

smaller than stray capacitances if they are not taken care of. Therefore, one of

the most important design considerations is to take care of all possible stray

capacitances. One of them is explicitly put on the effective diagram Figure 6.3

which is C1p. This is the capacitance between the lead of the local electrode

and the lead of the collector. Although they are far away compared to the

distance between local electrode and the collector, they are much larger in

area than the local electrode. So they are usually much larger than C1. R1p is

the resistance between these two leads through a long and narrow channel of

the bulk part of LC. For the same reason as for C1p, this is an important one

to be considered. Calculation shows that for most cases, this resistance is of

the same order as R1. But we can put an extra shielding on the leads of the

collector and basically eliminate R1p and greatly reduce C1p (see Sect. 6.2.2).

With this shielding and other measures, we can reduce C1p to about 7 fF which

is still larger than C1. Since we are mostly concerned with the energy dissi-

pated in the local region and a capacitance does not dissipate energy, we can

tolerate this capacitance.

Cc is the capacitance between the local electrode and the main electrode.

This is mostly due the overlapping of the lead of the local electrode and the

main electrode. For most cells, the distance between them is 200 nm. For a

10 µm wide lead, the capacitance is about 3.9 pF.

R0p is the contact resistance of the main electrode with its lead wire plus

the wire resistance. We single out this while ignoring other contact and wire

resistances because current going through this wire is much bigger than that

80

of the local electrode and any excess resistance will cause the potential of the

main electrode (point A in Figure 6.3) and that of local electrode (point B) to

be different.

We model the preamplifier as a complex impedance ZL. It turns out that

ZL is strongly inductive at the frequency we use. This is consistent with the

frequency characteristic provide by the manufacturer[46]. This is probably due

to the gyrator circuit in the preamplifier[137].

We measure ZL using a setup shown in Figure 6.4. Lock-in 2 provides

a driving source to drive the preamplifier in series with a 10 GΩ resistor.

Lock-in 2 also measures both the in-phase and out-of-phase voltage drops

over the preamplifier. Lock-in 1 connected directly to the preamplifier output

to measure the in-phase and out-of-phase current flowing throw the preampli-

fier. For 591 Hz and 10−9A/V setting, the measured effective impedance is

ZL = 4.86 × 103 + i6.40 × 104 Ω. Not shown in the effective ciucuit, there is

also a relatively small resistance due to the narrow lead of the local electrode.

In calculations, we can add this to the effective impedance of the preamplifier.

For all our cells with gold local electrodes, the lead is slightly less than 10 µm,

about 30 nm thick and 1.9 mm long. With gold the conductivity is about

4.09×107(Ω·m)−1 at 30C, and the calculated resistance is about 155 Ω. Effec-

tively, the total impedance of the preamplifier is ZL = 5.02×103+i6.40×104 Ω.

The capacitance of the cable connecting the local electrode and the pream-

plifier must be considered as its impedance is not very much bigger than that

of the preamplifier, especially when we use its 10−9A/V setting. This capaci-

tance is denoted as CLp and its value is proportional to the length of the cable,

for 50 Ω RG58 cable, it has a capacitance about 30pF/ft. In order to be able

to attach onto the cell, we have to use a thinner coaxial cable. We chose CC-

C-50 miniature coaxial cable from Lake Shore[135]. Its capacitance is about

24pF/ft. The miniature cable then connects to the normal RG58 BNC cable

140pF.

Since values of Cs1 and Cs2 are much larger than that of C0, and Cs3 is

much larger than C1, and we mostly only concern the change of C0 and C1, we

can lump Cs2 and part of Cs1 with C0 and R0, lump Cs3 and the rest of Cs1

with C and R, shown in Figure 6.5. From now on, C0, R0, C1 and R1 denote

the lumped values.

6.1.2 Analysis of the Effective Circuit

Using the effective circuit, we can analyze and find out which factors will

affect our measurement most. Our goal is to measure I1 (after minimize the ef-

fects of R1p and C1p), but what we can measure is IL. We define the systematic

error r = I1/IL−1. The design goal is to minimize |r|. For simplicity purpose,

we use complex impedances Z0 and Z1, to represent the effective impedance

of the main electrode region and local electrode region of the cell(Figure 6.6).

And the complex impedances of Cc and CLp are Zc and ZLp, We have

1/Z0 = 1/R0 + iωC0, (6.1)

1/Z1 = 1/R1 + iω(C1 + C1p), (6.2)

The combined effects of R0p, Cc and CLp are not simply the summation of

any of the three equations. But we can clearly see that the way to reduce r is

to try to reduce CLp and keep the potential of point A and point B as close as

possible (from 6.17).

To reduce CLp, the simplest way is to reduce the length of coaxial cables

connecting the local electrode and the preamplifier. Trying to balance the

potential of point A and point B is not that easy, as we do not know the

exact values R0p, and Z1, and we may have to add components to adjust both

in-phase and out-of-phase components and this complicates the circuits. The

simplest way to minimize the potential difference is to let both of them as

close as possible to ground, i. e., to decrease |r0p| (= R0p/|Z0|) and |ZL|. Also,

reduce the coupling between the main electrode and the local electrode, i. e.,

reduce Cc.

To increase |Z0|, we can reduce the area of the collector and/or main elec-

trode (the main electrode is kept larger than the collector to shield the parasitic

lead capacitance and diagonal current) while still keep the system to be a spa-

tially extensive system. In the initial design, we chose the collector to be a

8 mm × 8 mm square, later we changed that to be 2 mm × 2 mm. For a cell of

20 µmm spacing, we still have an aspect ratio of 100.

Reducing the area of the main electrode also helps in reducing Cc since

with a smaller main electrode, the overlapping length of local electrode lead

and main electrode reduces. In initial design the overlapping length was 4.0

mm (local electrode at the center of main electrode) and later it was reduced

to 1.9 mm. The other way to reduce Cc is to reduce the width of the local

electrode lead. But by doing this, the lead is more likely to be broken during

the processing and that increases the resistance of the leads which is part of

ZL. The final design reduced the initial width of 20µmm to 10µmm.

We cannot always decrease |ZL|. For most of the fluctuation measure-

ments, we have to stick to the highest sensitivity 10−9 A/V to minimize the

preamplifier current noise. Occasionally, we use 10−8 A/V. In this case, its

86

Page 103: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

impedance(about 6 kΩ) is negligible and the effect of CLp is also negligible for

a typical value of 140 pF.

In the first design, we made both the local electrode and the main electrode

out of ITO for its transparency. And there was always an insulating SiO2 layer

for making non-injecting boundary condition. To make a contact, we scratched

the SiO2 layer with a glass scriber at the electrode edge and attached a cable

with the help of a small amount of indium. The contacts made this way had

a rather large contact resistance, a typical value is about 240 Ω. In the final

design, we use a thin layer of gold (about 30 nm thick to let it still be semi-

transparent). We also etch out of a window (with buffered hydrofluoric acid)

on the SiO2 layer to expose the gold layer in order to make a better contact.

The contacts made this way have a typical resistance of 6 Ω.

Table 6.1 lists the measured and estimated values of all cells measured in

this study. One cell (XX300) was made out of ITO electrodes from the first

design which was not optimized. We will not discuss data measured from this

cell. The rest were based on the second design.The cell X817 1 has a design

window size of 4 µm × 4 µm and we find that its measured effective resistance

R1 is far less than expected. It is likely that this cell did not reach our design

goal and therefore we will not discuss the results on this cell. The error r due

to the cable capacitance CLp (eq. 6.15) is all about 3.3%(about 0.3%, if use

10−8A/V) for all the cells. So we see that for the second design, the error

caused by Cc and R0p is negligible. In principle, we can correct the measured

data using the estimate value of r which is all about −0.034+ i 0.0026. Notice

that the real part correction is about 10 times bigger than the imaginary part,

therefore a rough correction is to increase the measured values by about 3%.

Since our conclusions do not depend on the absolute values of measurement

very strongly and it is roughly cancelled by the AC gain error at frequency of

591 Hz (see Sect. 6.3), no corrections will be made in the following discussions.

6.2 Processing Procedures

In this section, I will discuss the processing procedures following the anal-

ysis in 6.1. We will extensively utilize the UCSB cleanroom facilities[55]. I

will use schematic diagrams to illustrate the procedures. We used L-Edit[139]

to make our mask drawings and the masks were ordered from UC Berkeley

Microfabrication Lab[138]. L-Edit is available to UCSB users through a license

server. To access L-Edit, contact UCSB cleanroom[55]. All the masks files can

be found at the thesis website[151].

We usually process 4 ∼ 8 glass slides each time, and in most cases, one

slide will be cut into four final slides for assembling cells. We have to make

88

Page 105: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

more than we need in the end since the success rate after all the procedures is

rather low (for local electrode slide, less than a quarter, and better for collector

electrode slide). But in the following, I will only mention the procedures for

one slide and most procedures are in parallel, i.e. one can process all of them

in one step.

6.2.1 Processing slide with Local and Main Electrode

The following are the procedures for the fabrication of the slide with local

electrode and main electrode:

1. We begin with a cleaned ITO slide of 53 mm× 53 mm (see Sect. 2.3.1

for glass preparations). In the end, we usually add a step to clean the

slide with oxygen plama, using the Technics plasma etching system[140]

in UCSB cleanroom[55]. The conditions for this are oxygen pressure 300

mTorr, RF power 100 W and cleaning time 1 min.

We will use gold to make our local and main electrodes, we do not

necessarily need to use ITO glass. But the ITO film serves as a shielding

layer for the local electrode which can reduce the parasitic capacitance

C1p.

2. Evaporate a gold film for making local electrode onto the non-ITO side

of the glass slide (Figure 6.7(a)). We use e-beam evaporator #3 in

UCSB cleanroom[55] for evaporating 1 or 2 slides at once and use e-

beam evaporator #4 for evaporating 3 to 10 slides at once. E-beam #3

has a load-lock system that allows very quick cycle time for evaporations

(as low as 20 minutes total time), but it can only hold maximum of 2

pieces of our slides. E-beam #4 is a multi-wafer evaporator from CHA

Industries which can hold up to 10 pieces of our slides, but it takes

much longer time than e-beam #3 to pump down to desired vacuum

(about 2× 10−6 Torr). The good thing is that almost everything can be

programed to be done automatically after sample loading, therefore one

does not have to be there to look after the evaporating process.

Gold does not stick to oxide(in our case, our glass slide) well. We need

an intermediate layer of reactive metal for the gold to stick on and we

use a very thin (5 nm) layer of titanium. We then evaporate the 30 nm

gold layer. Since we will be evaporating a layer of SiO2 upon the gold

electrode, we need another 5 nm titanium for the SiO2 to stick onto the

electrode.

Gold and titanium are two of the most common metals used in vacuum

deposition and we follow the standard procedures[55]. Since all the three

layers are very thin, we use a rather slow deposition rate. For titanium,

we use 0.05 nm/s; for gold, 0.1 nm/s.

3. Etch the titanium and gold layers into designed shape of the local elec-

trode (Figure 6.7(b)). The mask is “detect 9” which contains 9 slightly

different parts and each is a square of 25 mm × 25 mm. The parts are

for (left to right, up to down) local square electrodes whose side length

are 128 µm, 32 µm, 48 µm, 2 µm, 4 µm, 16 µm, 64 µm, 8 µm and 24 µm

(labeled by the small bars near the leads). This is a chrome dark field

mask, i. e., small features (square electrodes, leads etc) are clear and

most area is covered with a chrome film which block the photolithogra-

phy light. One slide can hold 4 out of the 9 parts on the mask.

We use negative photoresist(PR) AZ5214 for photolithography. The

recipe is modified from the established processes of AZ5214 at UCSB

cleanroom[142]. The established recipe was tested using silicon sub-

strates, while we are using a glass substrate which has much lower ther-

mal conductivity and reflects less light. The procedures are following:

(a) After cleaning, dry the slide on a 110C hotplate for 1.5 to 2 min-

utes. Cool it down for a few minutes.

92

(b) Put the slide on the spinner[143] (use a proper size chuck). Apply

HDMS, let it stay for 20 seconds. Spin at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds.

(c) Apply AZ5214. Spin at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds.

(d) Bake the slide on a 95C hotplate for 1.5 minutes.

(e) Align the slide with 4 of the 9 parts. Leave each side about 1.5 mm

and the pattern will be on the center 50 mm × 50 mm region. We

ordered 5” masks from Berkeley[138], they are slightly bigger than

the biggest size designed for the two contact aligners[144]. But it

can fit. Use a black chuck for holding transparent substrate. Ideally,

we should use the vacuum contact option to enhance resolution, but

they do not seem to have proper chucks for holding big samples. If

smaller samples are used, this option should be used. For most of

our exposures, we used the hard contact option. Do NOT use the

UV lens provided as that only works for small samples to enhance

uniformity. For a sample as big as 53 mm square, it will only

expose a circle on it. The strength of the UV light is monitored by

a meter beneath the aligner, it should be 7.5 mW/cm2. Expose for

8 seconds.

(f) Flood exposure (no mask, directly expose to UV light) the slide for

1.3 minutes.

(g) Develop in MF701 for 45 seconds. As the unexposed PR dissolve

in the developer, one can notice some red plumes come off from the

slides. And as developing process going, one should be able to see

the pattern from side of the beaker. After about 45 seconds, put

into a beaker of DI water. Below dry, visually (both naked eyes and

microscope) check under the yellow light in the photolithography

room. If needed, a few more seconds can be used for developing.

(h) After the developing process, areas not covered by PR should have

an almost uniform color viewed obliquely.

93

Then we visually check the pattern under stronger white light. If it is

okay, we go onto etching step. Since there are three layers of metal,

we need three steps. For titanium etching, we follow the method used

by Nir Tessler[145] with the help of Yair Ganot[146]. The etchant is a

mixture of ammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and DI water by

1:1:4. The ammonium hydroxide is commercial concentration, hydrogen

peroxide is 30% concentration. There are a few ways to etch titanium,

the nice thing with this method is that it is rather slow (good for our

very thin 5 nm titanium) and it does not etch ITO on the opposite side

of the glass. For our 5 nm thick titanium, we etch 60 seconds at room

temperature, then rinse with DI water.

For gold etching, we used the commercial iodine based gold etchant avail-

able at UCSB cleanroom[55]. The rate of etching is about 2.8 nm/s at

room temperature and we etch for 11 seconds and then rinse with DI

water. And it does not seem to attack ITO on the opposite side the

glass, at least within the time of etching.

After etching, we clean away the remaining PR with acetone.

To make the local electrode, a lift-off procedure (see the processing of

main electrode next) had been tested as well since it had less steps than

etching 3 layers of metal. But it never worked, i.e. the local electrode

and the main electrode were always shorted. A possible explanation[71] is

shown in Figure 6.8. For a tutorial on lift-off, check http://www.nanotech.ucsb.edu/Processin

4. Evaporate a thin layer of SiO2 (Figure 6.7(c)). This is a very critical

insulating layer. We will then evaporate the main electrode on top of

this layer, and it has to keep the two electrodes to be insulated from each

other. A thicker layer will have a better chance fulfilling this. But we do

not want it too thick to change the electrical field distribution inside of

the cell. A few thicknesses were tested, it was very hard using 100 nm;

150 nm has a rather low successful rate; and in the end, we chose to use

200 nm.

We first clean the slide from last step using the same way for cleaning

a new slide (including a plasma clean step). The metal film should not

peel off in ultrasonic bath. We used Unaxis VLR Etch & Deposition

tool for this deposition. It deposits better quality[60] SiO2 films than

PECVD system[141] does.

5. Using lift-off to make the main electrode (Figure 6.7(d)). The mask is

“main 9”. It is a clear field chrome mask (features are covered with

chrome, most areas are clear). There are 9 parts as well for 9 sizes

(see step 3) (also labeled by the small bars, but the positioning of these

bars is not very good, they should be corrected in a future version).

The alignment marks (four “+’s” on each part) are to be aligned with

previous alignment marks made during the previous photolithography

step 3.

The material of the main electrode is the same as the local electrode

Ti/Au/Ti = 5/30/5 nm. We use a lift-off process for this step as it can

take away the 3 metal layers at once.

We first make the pattern of PR. We still use negative PR AZ5214, there-

fore, the exposure and developing processes are the same as in step 3.

In addition, after developing, blow dry and inspection, we need an extra

step of descumming. This is a plasma clean step like in step 1, we only

need 30 seconds.

We then deposit the Ti/Au/Ti layers and this is the same as in step 2.

After that, we put the evaporated slide in a beaker filled with acetone

and leave it overnight. The metal at the area covered with PR before

metal evaporation will peel off, this includes the small window areas on

the mask, while metal at the clear areas will stick to the SiO2. But many

times, soaking overnight is not enough. The metal at the window areas

just does not come off. Then we have to use stronger PR stripper and/or

ultrasound to clean up the window areas. We first try soak the slide in

heated PRX1165 stripper (up to 80C), if this still does not work, try to

put the heated stripper into a heated ultrasonic bath for a few minutes.

This usually solves the problem.

6. We then evaporate a relatively thick (800 nm) SiO2 layer using PECVD[141]

(Figure 6.7(e)). This is to form the non-injecting boundary condition for

the main electrode.

7. The SiO2 layers in last step and step 4 also cover the areas on the elec-

trodes for attaching wires. In order to make good contacts with the

electrodes to reduce R0p and ℜ(ZL) in Sect. 6.1.2, we need to open two

windows on the SiO2 layers to expose the gold electrodes.

The mask for this step is “SiO2 mask 9”. This is a dark field mask with

9 parts. We need a positive photoresist and we choose AZ4110. We use

a slightly modified recipe from the established one[142]. The procedures

are following:

(a) After cleaning, dry the slide on a 110C hotplate for 1.5 to 2 min-

utes. Cool it down for a few minutes.

(b) Apply HDMS, let it stay for 20 seconds. Spin at 4000 rpm for 30

seconds.

(c) Apply AZ4110. Spin at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds.

(d) Bake the slide on a 95C hotplate for 1.5 minutes.

(e) Align with the mask and expose for 8 seconds under 7.5 mW/cm2

UV light.

(f) Develop in AZ400K:DI=1:4 solution for 60 seconds.

(g) Blow dry, visually check the PR coverage. An optional bake step

can be used. Use the 95C hotplate for 1 minute.

Then check under strong white light. If everything is okay, go onto

etching step. We first cover the ITO side by applying a layer of PR

AZ4110 with a brush. This is to protect the ITO layer from being etched

next. We use buffered HF (HF is an extremely dangerous chemical,

98

Page 115: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

special handling gears are needed) to etch the SiO2 layers. We have

800 nm SiO2 by PECVD and 200 nm SiO2 by Unaxis VLR Etch &

Deposition tool. At room temperature, the etching rate for PECVD

SiO2 is 520 nm/min and for the other is 180 nm/min[60]. We therefore

need about 160 seconds for etching both.

After etching, rinse with DI water and check with a multimeter to see

whether the gold films have been exposed. Press the electrodes very

gently on the surface, the resistance should be just a few ohms. Then

wash away the PR layers with acetone.

8. We can then move the slide out of the cleanroom and measure in a

regular lab. Pay special attention not to touch any part of the electrodes

without properly discharging yourself. This is to prevent electrostatic

discharge(ESD). Press two small pieces of indium on each of the two

windows of exposed gold films gently. They should easily stick on the

films. Measure the resistance between local and main electrodes with a

multimeter which can measure high resistance, for example, a Keithley

2001 multimeter. For a good one, the insulation resistance will be at

least a few hundred megohm.

After finding which ones are good, label them. At this point, we should

shorten the local and main electrodes with a wire and keep them short-

ened until they are actually put into the circuit which will keep the

potential between the two electrodes almost the same. This is very im-

portant to prevent ESD from breaking the insulating SiO2 layer between

the two electrodes and the thin local electrode lead. The capacitance

between these two electrodes is less than 4 pF, and small amount of

charges can charge the capacitance to the SiO2 layer breaking voltage

(about 20V, breakdown electric field for chemical vapor grown SiO2 can

be as low as 108 V/m). Before we took this measure, almost all the

local electrode leads were broken by ESD during the process of attach-

ing wires and cables to the cell. Figure 6.11 shows a broken one and

it almost always happens at the intersection of the lead and the main

electrode.

6.2.2 Processing Slide with Collector Electrode

The fabrication of the collector electrode slide is similar but much easier.

The following are the steps:

1. We start with a clean ITO glass and we will be using the ITO side

(Figure 6.12 (a)).

2. Etching out the collector electrode shape (Figure 6.12 (b)). We use

mask collector 4 which has four repeating parts. This is a 2-inch dark

field mask. We use negative PR AZ5214 and the procedures are the same

as above.

For etching ITO, we used a mixture of 250 ml DI water, 450 ml hy-

drochloride acid and 50 ml nitric acid. All commercial concentrations.

Mix water and hydrochloride acid first, then add nitric acid. It will be

warm. Let it cool down for about 15 minutes or more. The color will

become yellowish. One should test to see how long it takes to etch the

ITO film. For our CB-50IN glass from Delta Tech[53], we need about 8

minutes.

3. Using Unaxis VLR Etch & Deposition tool deposit a SiO2 layer of 700

nm (Figure 6.12 (c)).

4. Using AZ5214 lift-off make the collector shielding electrode (Figure 6.12

(d)). The mask is collector shield 4 and the electrode materials are

Ti/Au/Ti=10/100/10 nm.

5. Cover part of gold film for attaching wire with a small piece of Al foil. Use

PECVD to deposit a 300 nm SiO2 layer on top of the collector shielding

(Figure 6.12 (e)). Take away the Al foil to expose the uncovered gold

film.

The relative position of the ITO collector electrode and the collector

shielding electrode can be seen in Figure 6.13. Most of the lead of

the ITO electrode is shielded. The leads would not collect any diag-

onal parasitic current. This therefore completely eliminates the effective

component R1p in Sect. 6.1.1 and reduces C1p.

6. We do not need to etch the SiO2 layer to attach the cable to the ITO

electrode as this contact resistance does not matter that much. We just

use a glass scriber to break the SiO2 layer and attach a cable using small

amount of indium.

6.2.3 Finish up a cell.

After making enough of the two kinds of working slides, we then go on to

the assemblying process. First we need to cut each of 53 mm × 53 mm slides

into four 25 mm × 25 mm pieces. We use a Disco dicing saw to do that. The

glass is 1.1 mm thick and the saw can cut narrow grooves of 0.7 mm deep.

We just need to have 6 cuts along the boundary lines formed after the above

processing. DO NOT break the glass yet at this stage.

Clean the slide. Make alignment polymer layer (See Sect. 2.3.2) on 4

smaller pieces which are still connected. We do not cut after alignment because

cutting is a very dirty step and we cannot clean the surface after alignment.

Now we can break the slide into 4 pieces. A small trick in breaking the

1.5 mm wide edge: put a blade into the cut groove, hold the slide onto a

cleanroom paper, apply a force through the blade and it can usually break the

edge nicely.

Following the general description in Sect. 2.3.3, assemble two slides into

a cell, fill with NLC N4 and seal it with Torr Seal. A schematic diagram of

an assembled cell is shown in Figure 6.14. Three scales are important in our

design: distance of local electrode and main electrode d1 = 200 nm, window

size a = 4 ∼ 128 µm and cell spacing d = 20 µm. In order for the local

electrode to collect almost all the current flowing through the window (not be

shielded by the main electrode), we need d1 << a. In order not to disturb the

electric field inside the cell, we need d1 << d. In addition, it is possible that

the thickness of the insulating layer for the main electrode d2 = 800 nm is also

important. We know that there is a very thin charge boundary layer near the

interface of the NLC and the contacting insulating layer[8]. If d2 is too much

thinner than d1, then possibly the presence of the local electrode will disturb

the charge boundary layer, and in turn disturb the electric field inside the cell.

We therefore made d2 > d1 to minimize this possible disturbance.

105

The last step, we attach wires and coaxial cables (see Figure 6.16). There

are five electrodes in total. The local electrode and the collector need coax-

ial cables. We use Lakeshore CC-C-50 miniature coaxial cable[135] for local

electrode and regular RG174/U cable for collector. Shielding braids of both

cables are kept float. For normal measurement, main electrode is grounded,

it does not need coaxial cable. But for measurement of cell resistance R0 and

capacitance C0, we need the wire to be shielded. Therefore, we usually connect

main electrode with a CC-C-50 miniature cable as well. The collector shielding

electrode and the ITO side of the local electrode slide are always grounded,

two regular 30-gauge single-strand wires are used.

6.3 Measuring Circuit

We use an AC bridge similar to the one described in Sect. 2.1.3. The differ-

ence is that in Sect. 2.1.3, the current is µA or bigger, here we are measuring

current of pA order, therefore shielding and grounding[147, 148] have to be

done very carefully. Fig. 6.15 is a schematic diagram of the circuit used to

measure the local current. The driving source unit-gain follower and step-up

transformer (see Sect. 2.1.3) are housed in one shielded case. All the other

components have their own shielding cases. We should try to float these com-

ponents from ground and each other, then each with one single grounding

point connecting to one common ground[147, 148]. The red thick lines denote

coaxial cables (cable shields not shown), their cable shields should be properly

grounded following [147, 148].

The shielding of the cell is shown in Fig. 6.16. The slides with main and

local electrodes also has an ITO shielding in the other side, it should be put

on top and the ITO shielding is then connect to the temperature controlled

housing of the cell which also provides an enclosed shield for the cell.

Figure 6.15: Schematic diagram of circuit used to measure local current,similar to Fig. 2.6 in Sect. 2.1.3. The components are shielded from eachothers (the dash line boxes). The connecting point P(shown with an arrow)has to be shielded from others as well. The thick red lines denote coaxialcables (cable shields not shown).

An important point is to shield the connecting point P (Fig. 6.15) from

any other points in the circuit. As we are dealing with capacitance of order of

fF, any stray capacitance can easily be picked up.

The reference capacitor Cr is usually set to 0.1 pF or 1 pF. The reference

resistor Rr brings some unwanted stray capacitance added to Cr, therefore,

the measured values of the local cell capacitance C1 and resistance R1 will be

unreliable. We only use reference Rr for local electrodes bigger than 48 µm

where the in-phase current is relatively large. Sometimes, Rr is not big enough

(maximum value 111 MΩ), we can put Cr and Rr in series, but this also changes

the stray capacitance added to the Cr. For smaller electrodes, the current is

rather small, we usually do not use Rr.

The ratio transformer, step-up transformer and the follower are the same

as in Sect. 2.1.3.

The preamplifier is a DL1212 current-to-voltage preamplifier[46] and we

have discussed its input impedance in Sect. 6.1.1. Other things we should

pay attention to are its input noise and -3 dB frequency f−3dB[46]. The input

noise is 5.0× 10−15A/√

Hz for 10−9A/V sensitivity and 1.3× 10−14A/√

10−8A/V sensitivity. f−3dB is 4 kHz for 10−9A/V sensitivity and 12 kHz for

10−8A/V sensitivity. The ratio of gain at frequency f to that at DC is hard

to measure as we do not have an accurate AC current source of nA order. A

rough estimate of the ratio is given by [136] G = 11+(f/f−3dB )2

(The frequency

response of the preamplifier is roughly equivalent to a -12 dB/oct filter (see

[46])). We almost always use it at frequency of 591 Hz. At this frequency,

G = 0.979 for 10−9A/V sensitivity, and G = 0.998 for 10−8A/V sensitivity.

Oscillator

C

Preamplifier

Figure 6.17: Circuit use to measure the phase shift by preamplifer. Thepreamplifier output is measured by a 7265 lock-in amplifier and its oscillatoris used to drive the circuit.

For 10−8A/V sensitivity, it is negligible and for 10−9A/V sensitivity, it roughly

cancels the system error due to the capacitance of the cable connecting local

electrode and the preamplifier (see Sect. 6.1.2). No gain correction is made

in the following discussions. The phase shift at 591 Hz can be measured

(Fig. 6.17). C is a small capacitor with very little loss. We use GR1403 series

General Radio air capacitors[48]. The exact value does not matter too much

as long as it does not saturate the preamplifer. For 10−9A/V sensitivity, we

use 0.01, 0.1 and 1 pF. For 10−8A/V sensitivity, we use 10 pF. We use large

enough voltages for each capacitor, but not saturating the preamplifier and

lock-in amplifier. We measure the phase of preamplifier output relative to the

driving voltage. If there is no phase shift due to the preamplifier, the phase

will be 90o (the input impedance of the preamplifier is negligible comparing

to that of C), we measured that the phase is −93.56o for 10−9A/V sensitivity

(all three capacitors values) and −93.17o for 10−8A/V sensitivity. The minus

sign is due to that the output polarity of this preamplifier is inverted. So

when we measure a current signal at 591 Hz, we should put the phase at

−93.17 − (−90) + 180 = 176.45o for 10−9A/V sensitivity and at 176.83o for

10−8A/V sensitivity.

The lock-in amplifier connecting to the preamplifier is a model 7265[43]

from Ametek Signal Recovery and it has also been discussed in Sect. 2.1.3.

Important things to notice are its filter time constant and filter slope. We

always use 12 dB/oct slope. For different time constants, we will get different

bandwidths. A chart can be found in Sect. 3.3.16 of its manual[43]. For a

most used time constant, 50 ms, its bandwidth is 3.335 Hz. This affects how

much noise we get from the preamplifier.

Chapter 7

Current Fluctuations in Cellswith Local Electrodes

In this Chapter, we present measurements for the cells described in the

last chapter. Both optical and electrical measurements are described. All the

cells we measured are listed in Table 6.1. All the measurements are done in

the apparatus setup 1 with the home-made shadowgraph tower (see Sect. 2.1),

and we always measure at 30C. Before we put one cell into the apparatus,

we always keep the local electrode cable and main electrode wire shorted (see

Sect. 6.2.1). After putting the cell in, we connect all the electronics and

disconnect the main and local electrodes shorting wire. Turn on the camera.

Apply a small voltage and roughly adjust the bridge (Figure 6.15) to close

to balance (if Rr not used, just balance out-of-phase component). Gradually

increase the voltage till one sees some pattern appearing. Balance the bridge

(or the out-of-phase component). If time allows, wait for a few days before

start a run to let the cell stablize. Readjust the bridge. Record the ratio of the

ratio transformer R, Cr and Rr and the applied voltage and any unbalanced

readings of in-phase current Ix and out-of-phase current Iy.

The applied voltage then ramps up and down to measure effective conduc-

tance and current fluctuations at different applied voltages. (See [151] for the

program running this). The conductance measurement is done together with

points at a rate of 20 points/sec. For fluctuation measurement, all are the

same except that we take much more data points (600,000 points)).

The AC driving voltage is measured by a Keithley 196 multimeter before

the current data are taken. The current data are then taken by program

“take trig00”[151]. The interval between two data points is 50 ms. The GPIB

bus is fast enough to let us transfer every data point right after we take it.

Using an external trigger source provided with a Labmaster card[149], we can

get very precise timing and lose very few triggers for 50 ms interval. If faster

data taking is needed, we need to use the memory of the lock-in amplifier

which limits the number of data points to be 16384 (both Ix and Iy. See

the description of output data curve buffer in [44]) before each transfer. The

transfer will take up to one minute to finish. During this minute, the lock-in

is frozen and cannot take any data. For taking statistics of current data, this

is okay. The program to do this is“take data xy0”[151]. Both take trig00 and

take data xy0 require one computer (ehc.physics.ucsb.edu) to dedicate to the

current data taking. Therefore, temperature control and image taking have to

be controlled by another computer (bellman.physics.ucsb.edu).

At the same time of taking current measurements, we take optical images.

This is done by the program “run fluct image”[151] which runs on bellman and

communicate with ehc via “rcp” command transferring a file containing some

simple commands. The image taking starts right after current data starts and

we usually take 64 consecutive images and the interval between these images is

equal or slightly longer than 5 seconds (set to be 5 seconds, the delay caused by

file transferring and other computer related issues averages about 0.3 seconds).

Each image-taking will finish before each current data-taking.

7.1 Electroconvection Onset and Conduction

State

The images are used to identify the state of convection and determine the

onset of the convection. Figure 7.1 shows images of cell X817 2 (8 µm) at

different applied voltages. To determine the onset of the convection, we first

divide the images at different voltages by a common background image (see

Sect. 2.1.1). In this case, the background image is obtained by averaging 64

images taken at V = 1.41V . Then Fourier transformation is performed on

each divided image. The average Fourier power of 64 images at V = 6.302 V

is shown in Figure 7.2 (a) and Figure 7.2 (b) shows the circular average of

the structure factor versus radial wavenumber |k|. We then filter the Fourier

images and only leave fundamental peaks at |k| around 4. The total zig and

zag power is plotted in Figure 7.3. We then take the same procedure as in

Chap. 4 to determine the onset. Notice that the transition is rather smooth.

Nevertheless, we could fit the data point below and near onset by Eq. 4.1

and obtain the onset is 6.06 V at driving frequency 591 Hz for the cell X817 2

(8 µm).

The images of other cells are essentially the same as the small local elec-

trodes do not affect the convection.

The average current divided by the applied voltage on the local electrode

defines the local conductance. Figure 7.4 and Figure 7.5 show the local con-

ductance for cell X817 2 (8 µm) and X817 5 (48 µm) respectively.

Notice that in Figure 7.4, there is a dip near the onset of convection. In

Figure 7.5, there is also one, but much narrower relatively. We found that as

the size of the local detecting electrode increases, this dip will eventually disap-

pear and we can recover curve similiar to those measured for whole cell [102].

The origin of the dip is not completely understood. There are a few points

which may be related to this. First, the onset is rather smooth (Figure 7.3).

There are visible patterns well below onset (see first and second images in

Figure 7.1). And from our observation[150], these patterns can reappear after

we cycle the driving voltage for a few times during a few days. Presumably,

some deterministic factors can pin the pattern near onset. One roll of such

pinned pattern will stay right at the location of the local electrode and causes

a decrease in conductance. One thing that is not clear is why it always causes

a decrease in conductance, but not an increase for all the measurements in all

the four cells shows this dip (X817 2 (8 µm), X817 3 (16 µm), X817 4 (32 µm)

and X817 5 (48 µm)). Since we are mostly concerned with current fluctuations

at high drivings, no further effort was spent on this problem.

In both of the graphs, we see that there is a drop in conductance over

time. This is due to the change of the conductivity of the doped LC over

time and it is present in all the cells. The mean value of the up and down

conductance below onset is taken as the conductance of the base state and is

listed in Table 7.1.

7.2 Current fluctuations

In this section, we will focus on the current measurements on cell X817 2

(8 µm, smaller than cell spacing 20.3 µm) and X817 5 (48 µm, bigger than cell

spacing 18.9 µm) as examples of the two cases (smaller and bigger than cell

spacing).

Figure 7.6 shows sections of time series for a few driving voltages (each of

them takes 8.33 hours). Some of the images at these driving voltages have

been shown in Figure 7.1.

Usually, there are drifts of the mean current during the course of the mea-

surements of 600,000 points (8.33 hours). These are usually rather small as

119

Page 136: Fluctuations and Spatio-temporal Chaos in ... · Pesch, Penger Tong, Walter Goldburg, James Gleeson, Hermann Riecke and Dr. Ju¨rgen Vollmer. And thank physics machine shop staff

we cannot tell from Figure 7.6. The correction is done as follow: First we

use a box filter (may repeat for some times) to filter out any fast changing

components and we get a smooth curve which only changes slightly over the

whole 8.33 hours. We then subtract the filter curve from the original curve

and the remaining curve is what we need. All the statistics are done with this

curve (except the mean of the curve). The program to the de-drifting and

statistics is de drift stat 3.2.c[151].

7.2.1 The general features at different driving

1. Below and near onset, the fluctuations are small and Gaussian (see Ta-

ble 7.2). We will see that these fluctuations are mostly due to the noise

of the preamplifier (mostly Johnson current noise of the 1 GΩ feedback

resistor[46]).

According to the preamplifier manual ([46]), at 591 Hz, the 10−9A/V

sensitivity has a noise spectral density of about 10 fA/√

Hz. And the

bandwidth is 3.335 Hz (for 12 dB/oct and 50 ms filter [43]). Therefore,

the Johnson noise current is about 18 fA. The Johnson current noise of

the local region is very small (about 0.2 fA) due to its extremely large

effective resistance (R1 = 1080GΩ, Table 6.1).

The shot noise is not easy to estimate. Presumably, the ionic conduction

is due to multivalent ions which each carries more than one electron

charge, but we do not know the exact numbers. As a minimal estimate,

we use the spectral density formula of an electron charge, S = 2eI. We

have a current of about 6 pA, therefore, we have a shot noise about 2.5

fA.

Our estimate of the total current noise is about 18 fA (√

182 + 2.52 + 0.22 ≈18). This is rather close to the measured values below and near onset

(about 30 fA). For other cells, we have similar situations, see Table 7.3.

2. For intermediate driving (ε=0.19 and 0.41), the current oscillates with

a period of 130 seconds and it has a rather small ε dependence. By

comparing the series of images taken at the same voltage (Figure 7.1)

which give roughly the same period, we conclude that this is due to

the traveling of the rolls. Every time one roll passes though the area

of the local electrode, it gives a rise or fall of the measured current.

This oscillation serves to verify that the local electrode is measuring the

current going through the LC layer, not some artifact. As to the cause

of the small traveling of the roll, one possible scenario is: defects are

generated in this range of ε and they are well separated[104]. But the

wave number field is modified by the presence of the defects and wave

number gradient forms and it caused the roll to travel. Another possible

cause is the nonuniformity of the cell. In Figure 7.6, the two arrows

point to two spikes in the oscillating current, this is possibly associated

with the defects mentioned in [104] passing through our local electrode.

For big cells like cell X817 5 (48 µm), there are oscillations as well, only

the amplitudes are smaller.

We will discuss the possible relationship between these local oscilla-

tions and the cause of global current fluctuations[104] in our discussion

Sect. 7.3.2

3. For the biggest driving, ε equal or bigger than 0.93. The current fluc-

tuates much stronger and there is no obvious oscillatory behavior in the

time serious. We will focus our attention on this region in the rest of the

section.

7.2.2 Current fluctuations at high driving

Table 7.2 and Table 7.3 list the the statistics of the in-phase current data

for different ε’s (we still list data for small ε’s, but they are just for reference.

We should pay attention to ε ≥ 0.91). For each ε, 600,000 points of data

were taken, the interval between adjacent points is 50 ms. Figure 7.7 shows

a typical autocorrelation function of Ix for X817 2 (8 µm) at ε = 0.93. It is

not a simple exponential decay, but we can see that the correlation time is

shorter than 10 s. Therefore, for each ε, we usually have data for more than

3000 correlation times.

We first look at the fluctuation amplitude. Figure 7.8 (a) shows the nor-

malized standard deviation σx/ < Ix > versus ε all five cells. We see that

they have similar behavior as measured in whole cells[104]. Only that the rel-

ative fluctuation amplitude is much larger than that in whole cells (by about

two orders of magnitude in X817 2 (8 µm)). We also scale σx by < Ix > /s

in Figure 7.8 (b) similar to the inset of Figure 3 in [104]. Not surprisingly,

they do not collapse onto a single curve as the fluctuating current is spatially

correlated over the small local electrode area. In Figure 7.8 (c), we attempt

to scale σx by < Ix > /s1/2, they come much closer, except that of X727 11

(128 µm).

To have a concrete view of what the distributions of the local current fluc-

tuations look like, we choose an ε near the point of largest relative fluctuations

for each cell and plot their probability distribution functions(PDFs) in Fig-

ure 7.9 and Figure 7.10. These two cells represents the cases studied, and

we see that they are quite different except that they all clearly deviate from

a Gaussian distribution. For window size a less than the spacing d (X817 2

(8 µm)), there is a quite large positive skewness (skews towards larger values).

And for a > d (X817 5 (48 µm)), the current skews slightly towards smaller

values.

In these two plots, we label the conduction states determined by conduc-

tance values below onset by red (color version) arrows. One interesting ob-

servation is that for X817 2 (8 µm), we could observe some of the fluctuations

(about 0.5%) go below the conduction state. In X817 5 (48 µm), we do not

see any fluctuations go below the conduction state.

The shape of the PDF cell X817 2 (8 µm) is rather paticular. This is

possibly related to the two mechanisms for current fluctuations above onset:

the director tilt and the fluid motion which carries charges. Relative to the

conduction state below onset, the director tilt only increases the conductance

(as for planar alignment at conduction state, the electric field only sees σ⊥

which is smaller than σ‖. Any tilt will give us a component of σ‖ which

increases the conductance); the fluid motion can both increases or decrease

the conductance. The most interesting part is the fluid motion. If we treat

the instantaneous director field as the base state for the convection, we could

see even more fluctuations go beyond the base state. But our measurements

cannot distinguish the two components. For reference, in Figure 7.9, we have

shown the highest possible conductance states due to pure director tilt1: arrow

(c)(blue), the director field is fully randomized in 3D, σeff = (σ‖ + 2σ⊥)/3;

arrow(b)(green), the director field is randomized but confined in x − z plane,

σeff = (σ‖ +σ⊥)/2. But for ε = 1.49, we should expect the director tilt should

be far from fully randomized.

In light of the two mechanisms for current fluctuations, we try to fit the

PDF of X817 2 with a double Gaussian function

. (7.1)

And the fit curve is plotted in Figure 7.9 along with the measured PDF and

it gives a much better fit than a single Gaussian. But we have to use five

fitting parameters instead of one for single Gaussian. We see that the double

Gaussian captures the behavior of large-probability events quite nicely. But

for rare events, there is a clear deviation. Therefore, the exact mechanism

for this particular shape is still unclear. And to further separate these two

Gaussians, we need to measure at a smaller local electrode, and possibly a

small cell spacing will help as well.

The most obvious difference in the two PDFs are their skewness, we there-

fore compare their values for various ε’s in Figure 7.11. Again, it should be

obvious that for near and below onset, the values should be close to that of a

Gaussian distribution. For intermediate ε’s, due to the oscillations, statistics

1σ‖ was measured for NLC N4 with dopant level 970 ppm and it was found that for thatbatch, σ‖/σ⊥ ≈ 1.69. We assume that the NLC N4 for other batches with different dopantlevels have the same ratio.

In Figure 7.13, we show skewness measurements for all the cells measured

two whole cells listed. One is a commercial cell from E.H.C. Japan[52] whose

electrodes are 10 mm × 10 mm. It is expected that the distribution for such a

cell with large aspect ratio should be Gaussian and the measurements verifies

a home-made cell with electrodes about 0.5 mm × 0.5 mm. The measurement

shows slight negative skewness. The measurements in local cells and whole

cells are consistent, and we can conclude that skewness of the distribution

depends on the size of the detecting electrodes in a non-monotonic manner.

In Figure 7.9, we have seen that some of the big fluctuations can go below

the conduction state at one ε. On Figure 7.14 and Figure 7.15, we superimpose

the ranges of the fluctuations onto the conductance plots shown in Figure 7.4

7.3 Discussion

7.3.1 Stationary state temperature kBTss

We have seen that in Figure 7.9, some of the fluctuations go below the

conduction state (but we have not found any go below the absolute zero). It

is attempting to try to make some connections between the fluctuations to the

big negative fluctuations predicted by the FT. If we make the assumption that

the excitations above the onset, which give the large fluctuations we have seen,

effectively have no interactions with the conduction state, then we should be

able to apply the FT. This assumption may not seem to be very realistic, but

it can serve as a first approximation. This is similar to the picture of phonon.

In that picture, phonons are excitations of the lattices and in many cases, we

can ignore the interactions between phonons and lattices.

In treating the conduction state as our reference state, we can calculate

the quality ln (π(P0 − ∆P ))/π(P0 + ∆P )) for certain fixed ε’s, where P =

P0 + ∆P is the power injection into the system at ε and P0 is the power

injection calculated with the conduction state conductance c0 and the applied

voltage at ε, V , P0 = V 2c0. Figure 7.16 shows the plot for cell X817 2 (8 µm).

It only covers a small range of ∆P where π(P ) has measured values (see

Figure 7.9. Not surprisingly, we could fit this range with a straight line

ln(

π(P0−∆P )π(P+∆P )

)

= −a ∆P (7.2)

and we have a = 3.62 × 1012 W−1. If we apply Eq. 5.2, we have

a = τkBTss

(7.3)

And τ = 50 ms, therefore kBTss = 1.38 × 10−14J.

For comparison, if we apply Eq. 5.5 blindly for this ε, using Ix = 9.46 ×10−13 A, σx = 2.74 × 10−13 A (Table 7.2) and V = 9.565V, we have kBTss =

1.90 × 10−15J and this is an order smaller than the above result. This sug-

gests that Eq. 5.5 may not apply to the 8 µm local cell X817 2 as the distribu-

in whole cell measurements. In a commercial cell XX54 of electrode size

TBAB. At about ε ≈ 1.25, we have Ix = 2.14 × 10−5 A and σx = 1.11 × 10−9 A

and V = 10.815V , then kBTss = 1.56 × 10−14J. This comparison suggests that

we can obtain similar Tss for both local and global measurements, and Tss is

an extensive quality.

Unfortunately, we could only observe significant portion of fluctuations

going below conduction state in cell X817 2 (8 µm) for a small range of ε’s.

To have more large fluctuations, a cell with smaller spacing and window size

is needed.

7.3.2 The cause of global current fluctuations at inter-

mediate driving (ε from to 0.19 to 0.9)

In [104], the authors attribute the strong global current fluctuations to

spontaneous generation and annihilation of dislocations in the roll pattern, i.

e. each dislocation changes the local director and velocity fields, and induces

some current changes as it generates and annihilates. Our local measurements

at intermediate driving (ε = 0.19 and 0.41 in Sect. 7.2.1) reveals some regular

oscillations in the local current. And we attribute some rare spikes in the

regular oscillations to the appearance of defects near the local electrode.

In Figure 7.8, we see that the local current fluctuations have similar be-

havior as the global fluctuations measured in whole cells[104]. While the local

fluctuations at intermediate driving are mostly due to the regular oscillations

in the current, if the argument in [104] is correct, then the global current fluctu-

ations and local current fluctuations originate from two different mechanisms.

This is not very natural. We speculate that both local and global fluctuations

originate from the same mechanism: instead of the dislocations directly induce

current fluctuations, they just induce some local wavenumber gradient, and in

turn causes the rolls start to travel (note in Figure 1 of Ref. [104], the rolls are

traveling very slowly as well), and this causes the oscillations in our local cur-

rent measurements. While the traveling-roll induced current changes cancel

themselves in bulk region of the cell, they cannot cancel completely near the

boundaries. As the traveling rolls are coherent over a quite long distance, may

be over the whole cell for not very big cells. The current fluctuation amplitude

should be proportional to the length of the boundary, and therefore this can

also explain collapse of the relative fluctuation amplitude scaled by the aspect

ratio of the cells. Furthermore, this can explain the puzzle (see Sect. 5.1) that

Ref. [104] could not explain, as the traveling rolls are coherent over a long

distance, the long correlation time in ga(t) is explained.

135

We propose two experiments to test this idea. One is to measure the

local and global fluctuations simultaneously to see how they are correlated.

According to Ref. [104], they should not be correlated. If they are, this will

support our idea. Another one is to keep the area of electrodes the same and to

change the length of the boundary to see how the global fluctuation amplitude

would change. If it changes proportionally to the length of the boundary, that

can confirm our speculation.
