Coexistence of multiple interfacial states at heterogeneous solid/liquid interface

Jiaojiao Liu, Hongtao Liang, Jinfu Li +2

The growing trend towards engineering interfacial complexion (or phase) transitions has been seen in the grain boundary and solid surface systems.Meanwhile, little attention has be…

Atomistic characterization of the SiO2 high-density liquid/low-density liquid interface

Xin Zhang, Brian B. Laird, Hongtao Liang +5

The equilibrium silica liquid-liquid interface between the high-density liquid (HDL) phase and the low-density liquid (LDL) phase is examined using molecular-dynamics simulation. T…

Hard spheres at a planar hard wall: Simulations and density functional theory

R. L. Davidchack, B. B. Laird, R. Roth

Hard spheres are a central and important model reference system for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous fluid systems. In this paper we present new high-precision molecular-dynamics…

Parameterizing the surface free energy and excess adsorption of a hard-sphere fluid at a planar hard wall

Ruslan L. Davidchack, Brian B. Laird, Roland Roth

he inhomogeneous structure of a fluid at a wall can be characterized in several ways. Within a thermodynamic description the surface free energy and the excess adsorption a…
