First-order condensation and meniscus pinning in finite open wedges
Jiří Janek, Miriam Magočiová, Alexandr Malijevský
We study first-order condensation in finite open wedges using classical density functional theory (DFT) and compare the resulting microscopic phase behaviour with recent macroscopi…
Derjaguin-corrected Kelvin equation for finite open slits
Alexandr Malijevský
We formulate a Derjaguin-corrected Kelvin equation for phase transitions in finite open slits. In such pores, capillary condensation is modified by the finite wall length because t…
Beyond capillary condensation: Shear-induced bridging transitions in patterned slits
Alexandr Malijevský, Andrew O. Parry, Jiří Janek
We study the equilibrium phase behavior of a fluid confined in a slit made from two patterned walls. Shearing the walls frustrates the fluid, due to a competition between capillary…
Uniform distributions in nonuniform systems: Wall potentials generating constant density profiles in classical density functional theory
Jiří Janek, Alexandr Malijevský
We study the inverse problem of classical density functional theory for inhomogeneous fluids: finding the wall potential that produces a constant equilibrium density profile, i.e.,…
Complete Wetting and Drying at Sinusoidal Walls
Alexandr Malijevský, Martin Pospíšil, Miriam Magočiová +1
We investigate complete wetting and drying at sinusoidally corrugated solid walls, focusing on the effects of wall geometry and interaction range. Two distinct interaction models a…
Capillary condensation between parallel walls of unequal length
Alexandr Malijevský
We present a macroscopic theory of capillary condensation in slits formed by parallel walls of unequal length. Using the concept of an edge contact angle, we identify four distinct…
Higher spin Lagrangians from higher derivative diffeomorphisms
Will Barker, Dario Francia, Carlo Marzo +1
The covariant description of massless particles of arbitrary spin typically employs symmetric tensors of rank and rests on a local symmetry carried by symmetric tensor paramete…
Primordial Black Holes, Charge, and Dark Matter: Rethinking Evaporation Limits
Sebastian Schuster, Jessica Santiago, Justin Feng +1
Limits on the dark matter fraction of small mass primordial black holes from Hawking radiation are predominantly derived from the assumption of a Schwarzschild black hole evaporati…
Redshifted civilizations, galactic empires, and the Fermi paradox
Chris Reiss, Justin C. Feng
Given the vast distances between stars in the Milky Way and the long timescales required for interstellar travel, we consider how a civilization might overcome the constraints aris…
Alleviating the Hubble tension with Torsion Condensation (TorC)
Sinah Legner, Will Handley, Will Barker +1
Constraints on the cosmological parameters of Torsion Condensation (TorC) are investigated using Planck 2018 Cosmic Microwave Background data. TorC is a case of Poincaré gauge theo…
Three types of condensation in open wedges
Jiří Janek, Alexandr Malijevský
Condensation in linear wedges formed by semi-infinite walls is a well-established critical phenomenon characterized by the continuous growth of an adsorbed liquid layer as bulk two…
The radial metric function does not identify null surfaces
Yi-Hsiung Hsu, Will Barker, Michael Hobson +1
We investigate the conditions under which a hypersurface becomes null through the use of coordinate transformations. We demonstrate that, in static spacetimes, the correct criterio…
Capillary condensation between non-parallel walls
Alexandr Malijevský, Jiří Janek
We study the condensation of fluids confined by a pair of non-parallel plates of finite height . We show that such a system experiences two types of condensation, termed single-…
Kelvin equation for bridging transitions
Alexandr Malijevský, Martin Pospíšil
We study bridging transitions between a pair of non-planar surfaces. We show that the transition can be described using a generalized Kelvin equation by mapping the system to a sli…
An extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by a surface detector array
Telescope Array Collaboration
Cosmic rays are energetic charged particles from extraterrestrial sources, with the highest energy events thought to come from extragalactic sources. Their arrival is infrequent, s…
Phase behaviour of fluids in undulated nanopores
Martin Pospíšil, Alexandr Malijevský
The geometry of walls forming a narrow pore may qualitatively affect the phase behaviour of the confined fluid. Specifically, the nature of condensation in nanopores formed of sinu…
Critical effects and scaling at meniscus osculation transitions
A. O. Parry, Martin Pospíšil, A. Malijevský
We propose a simple scaling theory describing critical effects at rounded meniscus osculation transitions which occur when the Laplace radius of a condensed macroscopic drop of liq…
Meniscus osculation and adsorption on geometrically structured walls
Martin Pospíšil, Andrew. O. Parry, A. Malijevský
We study the adsorption of simple fluids at smoothly structured, completely wet, walls and show that a meniscus osculation transition occurs when the Laplace and geometrical radii…
Atomistic Simulation Framework for Molten Salt Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Prediction and its Application to NaCl
Leann Tran, Jiri Skvara, William R. Smith
Knowledge of the vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) properties of molten salts is important in the design of thermal energy storage systems for solar power and nuclear energy productio…
European Aerosol Phenomenology -- 8: Harmonised Source Apportionment of Organic Aerosol using 22 Year-long ACSM/AMS Datasets
Gang Chen, Francesco Canonaco, Anna Tobler +67
Organic aerosol (OA) is a key component to total submicron particulate matter (PM1), and comprehensive knowledge of OA sources across Europe is crucial to mitigate PM1 levels. Euro…
Strain localization in planar shear of granular media: the role of porosity and boundary conditions
Stanislav Parez, Tereza Travnickova, Martin Svoboda +1
Shear strain localization into shear bands is associated with velocity weakening instabilities and earthquakes. Here, we simulate steady-state plane-shear flow of numerical granula…
Capillary Condensation and Depinning Transitions in Open Slits
Alexandr Malijevský, Andrew O. Parry
We study the low temperature phase equilibria of a fluid confined in an open capillary slit formed by two parallel walls separated by a distance which are in contact with a res…

An alternative way of utilizing the thermodynamic perturbation theory of Wertheim for the development of equations of state for associating fluid models is presented and detailed f…
Edge Contact Angle, Capillary Condensation, and Meniscus Depinning
Alexandr Malijevský, Andrew O. Parry
We study the phase equilibria of a fluid confined in an open capillary slit formed when a wall of finite length is brought a distance away from a second macroscopic surface…
