Solution crystallization of materials ranging from simple salts to complex supramolecular
assemblies has long been viewed through the lens of classical nucleation and growth …

The interplay between crystal and solvent structure, interparticle forces and ensemble
particle response dynamics governs the process of crystallization by oriented attachment …

A crucial determinant of Hofmeister effects is the direct interaction of ions in solution with the
charged groups on the surface of larger particles. Understanding ion–ion interactions in …

Water mediates electrostatic interactions via the orientation of its dipoles around ions,
molecules, and interfaces. This induced water polarization consequently influences multiple …

Controlling interactions between proteins and nanoparticles in electrolyte solutions is crucial
for advancing biological sciences and biotechnology. The assembly of charged …

The behavior of ions in liquids confined between macromolecules determines the outcome
of many nanoscale assembly processes in synthetic and biological materials such as …

METHOD The idea of the present method is to consider the electrostatic potential produced
by the plates as an external scalar field acting on all the ions inside the simulation cell. As …

We study, using Density Functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo simulations, aqueous
electrolyte solutions between charged infinite planar surfaces, in contact with a bulk salt …

Understanding nanoscale interactions at the interface between two media with different
dielectric constants is crucial for controlling many environmental and biological processes …

We use molecular dynamics simulations of the primitive model of electrolytes to study the
ionic structure in aqueous monovalent electrolyte solutions confined by charged planar …
