| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aim of this research is to establish a new method to measure surface tension and viscosity of highly viscous melts combined with containerless techniques. This measreument will be useful for the research of bulk metalic glasses. By employing a high speed camera, bifurcation phenomena from axisymmetric to non-axisymmetric shape were observed on electrostatically levitated rotating drops.
It was confirmed that the bifurcation occurs at theoretically predicted rotation rate, and surface tension can be obtained by measureing rotation rate. It was also confirmed that the shape evolution speed after the bifurcation depends on the viscosity of the sample. This result shows a possiblity of quantitative viscosity measurement of highly viscous melts using a drop rotation.
