Abstract

The morphology on collapsed monolayers at the air-water interface has been studied using phase contrast microscopy. It is found that the transition from randomly distributed to quasi-one dimensional crack pattern takes place, depending on the pH value of the subphase and the presence of specific divalent metal ions. In these macroscopic patterns, the former exhibits a surface roughening due to a monolayer buckling while the latter becomes more smooth and uniform. The occurrence of the former is instantaneous and the latter follows a slow dynamics, i.e., the crack propagation in monolayers occurs with a delay for crack nucleation. Thus the change of pattern indicates the existence of a dynamic transition. The transition is discussed with the scenario of a crack instability in brittle materials. The changes of viscous nature and of ion binding, and the compression direction probably operate for the observed behavior effectively. Copyright Società Italiana di Fisica, Springer-Verlag 1999
