Sedimentation equilibrium and gravity dependent stiffness coefficients of colloidal hard-spheres
Luis G. MacDowell, Eva G. Noya
Spherical colloids with harsh repulsive forces have long been used as experimental analogs of the hard sphere model, with demonstrated good agreement with computer simulations for…
Surface tension of bulky colloids, capillarity under gravity and the microscopic origin of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation
Luis G. MacDowell
Experimental measurements of the surface tension of colloidal interfaces have long been in conflict with computer simulations. In this work we show that the surface tension of coll…
Intermolecular forces at ice and water interfaces: premelting, surface freezing and regelation
Juan Luengo-Marquez, Fernando Izquierdo-Ruiz, Luis G. MacDowell
Using Lifshitz theory we assess the role of van der Waals forces at interfaces of ice and water. The results are combined with measured structural forces from computer simulations…
Rounded Layering Transitions on the Surface of Ice
Pablo Llombart, Eva G. Noya, David N. Sibley +2
Understanding the wetting properties of premelting films requires knowledge of the film's equation of state, which is not usually available. Here we calculate the disjoining pressu…
Premelting-Induced Smoothening of the Ice-Vapor Interface
Jorge Benet, Pablo Llombart, Eduardo Sanz +1
We perform computer simulations of the quasiliquid layer of ice formed at the ice-vapor interface close to the ice Ih-liquid-vapor triple point of water. Our study shows that the t…
Capillary Wave Theory of Adsorbed Liquid Films and the Structure of the Liquid-Vapor Interface
Luis G. MacDowell
In this paper we try to work out in detail the implications of a microscopic theory for capillary waves under the assumption that the density is given along lines normal to the int…
