Solvation and Dissociation in Weakly Ionized Polyelectrolytes
Akira Onuki, Ryuichi Okamoto
We present a Ginzburg-Landau theory of inhomogeneous polyelectrolytes with a polar solvent. First, we take into account the molecular (solvation) interaction among the ions, the ch…
Surface tension of electrolytes: Hydrophilic and hydrophobic ions near an interface
Akira Onuki
We calculate the ion distributions around an interface in fluid mixtures of highly polar and less polar fluids (water and oil) for two and three ion species. We take into account t…
Plastic flow in polycrystal states in a binary mixture
Toshiyuki Hamanaka, Akira Onuki
Using molecular dynamics simulation we examine dynamics in sheared polycrystal states in a binary mixture containing 10% larger particles in two dimensions. We find large stress fl…
Transitions among crystal, glass, and liquid in a binary mixture with changing particle size ratio and temperature
Toshiyuki Hamanaka, Akira Onuki
Using molecular dynamics simulation we examine changeovers among crystal, glass, and liquid at high density in a two dimensional binary mixture. We change the ratio between the dia…
Charged inclusion in nematic liquid crystals
Lionel Foret, Akira Onuki
We present a general theory of liquid crystals under inhomogeneous electric field in a Ginzburg-Landau scheme. The molecular orientation can be deformed by electric field when the…
Ion-induced nucleation in polar one-component fluids
Hikaru Kitamura, Akira Onuki
We present a Ginzburg-Landau theory of ion-induced nucleation in a gas phase of polar one-component fluids, where a liquid droplet grows with an ion at its center. By calculating t…
