The structure and thermodynamic state of a system changes under the influence of external
electric fields. Neutral systems are characterized by their dielectric constant ε, while charged …

We review our recent studies on selective solvation effects in phase separation in polar
binary mixtures with a small amount of solutes. Such hydrophilic or hydrophobic particles …

We calculate the ion and composition distributions around colloid particles in an aqueous
mixture, accounting for preferential adsorption, electrostatic interaction, selective solvation …

In this paper we present a novel Lattice Boltzmann model for immiscible fluids with soluble
surfactants adsorbing at the interface with improved numerical and extended physical …

A model is presented for the solution of electrokinetic phenomena of colloidal suspensions
in fluid mixtures. We solve the discrete Boltzmann equation with a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook …

We examine phase separation in aqueous mixtures due to preferential solvation with a low-
density solute (hydrophilic ions or hydrophobic particles). For hydrophilic ions, preferential …

Selective solvation can be crucial in phase separation in polar binary mixtures (water–oil)
with a small amount of hydrophilic ions or hydrophobic particles. They are preferentially …

Phase transitions in polar binary mixtures can be drastically altered by even a small amount
of salt. This is because the preferential solvation strongly depends on the ambient …

We consider the influence of electric field gradients on the phase behavior of nonpolar
binary mixtures. Small fields give rise to smooth composition profiles, whereas large enough …

Self-organization of charged soft matter is of crucial importance in biology. However, it is an
extremely complex phenomenon due to dynamical couplings between the hydrodynamic …
