We compared the diffusion of water confined in armchair and zigzag carbon nanotubes for rigid and flexible water models. Using one rigid model, TIP4P/2005, and two flexible models …
The Kapitza resistance (R k) at the water–carbon nanotube (CNT) interface, with water on the inside of the nanotube, was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. We …
Driving droplets by electric fields is usually achieved by controlling their wettability, and realizing a flexible operation requires complex electrode designs. Here, we show by …
Electrostatic interactions in nanoscale systems can influence the heat transfer mechanism and interfacial properties. This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the …
