Benchmarking surface tension measurement method using two oscillation modes in levitated liquid metals

Abstract The Faraday forcing method in levitated liquid droplets has recently been introduced as a method for measuring surface tension using resonance. By subjecting an electrostatically levitated liquid metal droplet to a continuous, oscillatory, electric field, at a frequency nearing that of the...
