Computer simulations play an important role in the study of transformation processes of condensed matter, including phase transitions, chemical reactions, and conformational …
Wetting and drying of pores or cavities, made by walls that attract or repel the liquid, is a ubiquitous process in nature and has many technological applications including, for …
Understanding the kinetics and energetics of metal halide perovskite formation, particularly from the structural point of view at the nanoscale, is important for the advancement of …
Heterogeneous nucleation is the most effective mechanism for the inception of phase transformation. Solid walls and impurities act as a catalyst for the formation of a new …
We have investigated systematically and statistically methanol-concentration effects on methane-hydrate nucleation using both experiment and restrained molecular-dynamics …
Controlling the pressure at which liquids intrude (wet) and extrude (dry) a nanopore is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications, such as energy conversion …
Pores in nanoporous materials can be interconnected in different ways; preliminary evidence exists that connecting channels can affect the overall hydrophobicity of the …
A computational approach to determine the equilibrium structures of nanoclusters in the whole temperature range from 0 K to melting is developed. Our approach relies on Parallel …
Surface nanobubbles are gaseous domains found at immersed substrates, whose remarkable persistence is still not fully understood. Recently, it has been observed that the …
