The Local Compressibility of Liquids near Non-Adsorbing Substrates: A Useful Measure of Solvophobicity and Hydrophobicity?
Robert Evans, Maria C. Stewart
We investigate the suitability of the local compressibility chi(z) as a measure of the solvophobicity or hydrophobicity of a substrate. Defining the local compressibility as the de…
Layering Transitions and Solvation Forces in an Asymmetrically Confined Fluid
Maria C. Stewart, Robert Evans
We consider a simple fluid confined between two parallel walls (substrates), separated by a distance L. The walls exert competing surface fields so that one wall is attractive and…
Strong geometric frustration in model glassformers
C. Patrick Royall, Alex Malins, Andrew J. Dunleavy +1
We consider three popular model glassformers, the Kob-Andersen and Wahnström binary Lennard-Jones models and weakly polydisperse hard spheres. Although these systems exhibit a rang…
Stress reorganisation and response in active solids
Rhoda J. Hawkins, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We present a microscopic model of a disordered viscoelastic active solid, i.e. an active material whose long time behaviour is elastic as opposed to viscous. It is composed of fila…
Structural characterisation of polycrystalline colloidal monolayers in the presence of aspherical impurities
Andrew T. Gray, Elizabeth Mould, C. Patrick Royall +1
Impurities in crystalline materials introduce disorder into an otherwise ordered structure due to the formation of lattice defects and grain boundaries. The properties of the resul…
The role of local structure in dynamical arrest
C. Patrick Royall, Stephen R. Williams
Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers…
