Glasslike Transition of a Confined Simple Fluid
Abstract
A simple globular-shaped liquid (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, OMCTS) was placed between two solid plates at variable spacings comparable to the size of this molecule and the linear shear viscoelasticity of the confined interfacial film was measured. Strong monotonic increase of the shear relaxation time, elastic modulus, and effective viscosity were observed at spacings less than about 10 molecular dimensions. Frequency dependence showed good superposition at different film thickness. The observed smooth transition to solidity is inconsistent with a first-order transition from bulk fluid to solidity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
