Growth of a bubble cloud in CO2-saturated water in microgravity
Patricia Vega-Martínez, Javier Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Devaraj van der Meer
The diffusion-driven growth of a dense cloud of bubbles immersed in a gas-supersaturated liquid is a problem that finds applications in several modern technologies such as solvent-…
Biaxial nematic phase stability and demixing behaviour in monolayers of rod-plate mixtures
Yuri Martinez-Raton, Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Enrique Velasco
We theoretically study the phase behaviour of monolayers of hard rod-plate mixtures using a fundamental-measure density functional in the restricted-orientation (Zwanzig) approxima…
Effect of shape biaxiality on the phase behavior of colloidal liquid-crystal monolayers
Miguel Gonzalez-Pinto, Yuri Martinez-Raton, Enrique Velasco +1
We extend our previous work on monolayers of uniaxial particles [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 204906 (2014)] to study the effect of particle biaxiality on the phase behavior of liquid-cryst…
