Abstract:
Individual surface nanobubbles are visualized with nonintrusive optical interference-enhanced reflection
microscopy, demonstrating that their formation is not a consequence of the hitherto used intrusive atomic
force microscopy technique. We then use this new and fast technique to demonstrate that surface
nanobubbles form in less than a few seconds after ethanol-water exchange, which is the standard procedure
for their preparation, and examine how they react to temperature variations.
