Mode-Locking in Driven Disordered Systems as a Boundary-Value Problem
William Kung, M. Cristina Marchetti
We study mode-locking in disordered media as a boundary-value problem. Focusing on the simplest class of mode-locking models which consists of a single driven overdamped degree-of-…
Thermodynamics of Ion Solvation and Differential Adsorption at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces and Membranes
William Kung, Francisco J. Solis, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We construct a mean-field formulation of the thermodynamics of ion solvation in immiscible polar binary mixtures. Assuming an equilibrium planar interface separating two semi-infin…
Mediation of Long-Range Attraction Selectively between Negatively-Charged Colloids on Surfaces by Solvation
William Kung, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We propose a mean-field analytical model to account for the observed asymmetry in the ability to form long-range attraction by the negatively charged colloidal particles and not th…
Poisson-Bracket Approach to the Dynamics of Bent-Core Molecules
William Kung, M. Cristina Marchetti
We generalize our previous work on the phase stability and hydrodynamic of polar liquid crystals possessing local uniaxial -symmetry to biaxial systems exhibiting loc…
Charged Plate Beyond Mean-field: One-loop Corrections by Salt-density Fluctuation
William Kung, A. W. C. Lau
We present an exact field-theoretic formulation for a fluctuating, generally asymmetric, salt density in the presence of a charged plate. The non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation…
Hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals
William Kung, M. Cristina Marchetti, Karl Saunders
Starting from a microscopic definition of an alignment vector proportional to the polarization, we discuss the hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals with local -symm…
