Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Solid substrates can be endued with self-organized regular stripe patterns of nanoscopic length scale by Langmuir-Blodgett transfer of organic monolayers. Here we consider the effect of periodically prepatterned substrates on this process of pattern formation. It leads to a time periodic forcing of the oscillatory behavior at the meniscus. Utilizing higher-order synchronization with this forcing, complex periodic patterns of predefined wavelength can be created. The dependence of the synchronization on the amplitude and the wavelength of the wetting contrast is investigated in one and two spatial dimensions, and the resulting patterns are discussed. Furthermore, the effect of prepatterned substrates on the pattern selection process is investigated.
