Fluids at an electrostatically active surface: Optimum in interfacial friction and electrohydrodynamic drag
Cecilia Herrero, Lyderic Bocquet, Benoit Coasne
While fluids near a solid surface are at the core of applications in energy storage/conversion, electrochemistry/electrowetting and adsorption/catalysis, their nanoscale behavior r…
Initial Stages of Rejuvenation of Vapor-Deposited Glasses during Isothermal Annealing: Contrast Between Experiment and Simulation
Megan E. Tracy, Benjamin J. Kasting, Cecilia Herrero +4
Physical vapor deposition can prepare organic glasses with high kinetic stability. When heated, these glassy solids slowly transform into the supercooled liquid in a process known…
Direct numerical analysis of dynamic facilitation in glass-forming liquids
Cecilia Herrero, Ludovic Berthier
We propose a computational strategy to quantify the temperature evolution of the timescales and lengthscales over which dynamic facilitation affects the relaxation dynamics of glas…
Front propagation in ultrastable glasses is dynamically heterogeneous
Cecilia Herrero, Mark D. Ediger, Ludovic Berthier
Upon heating, ultrastable glassy films transform into liquids via a propagating equilibration front, resembling the heterogeneous melting of crystals. A microscopic understanding o…
Complex coupling between surface charge and thermo-osmotic phenomena
Mehdi Ouadfel, Michael De San Féliciano, Cecilia Herrero +2
Thermo-osmotic flows, generated at liquid-solid interfaces by thermal gradients, can be used to produce electric currents from waste heat on charged surfaces. The two key parameter…
Two-step devitrification of ultrastable glasses
Cecilia Herrero, Camille Scalliet, M. D. Ediger +1
The discovery of ultrastable glasses has raised novel challenges about glassy systems. Recent experiments studied the macroscopic devitrification of ultrastable glasses into liquid…
Chapter: Energy conversion at water-solid interfaces using electrokinetic effects
Cecilia Herrero, Aymeric Allemand, Samy Merabia +2
Our Society is in high need of alternatives to fossil fuels. Nanoporous systems filled with aqueous electrolytes show great promises for harvesting the osmotic energy of sea water…
Connection between water's dynamical and structural properties: insights from ab initio simulations
Cecilia Herrero, Michela Pauletti, Gabriele Tocci +2
Among all fluids, water has always been of special concern for scientists from a broad variety of research fields due to its rich behavior. In particular, some questions remain una…
Theoretical framework for the atomistic modeling of frequency-dependent liquid-solid friction
Haruki Oga, Takeshi Omori, Cecilia Herrero +3
Nanofluidics shows great promise for energy conversion and desalination applications. The performance of nanofluidic devices is controlled by liquid-solid friction, quantified by t…
Poisson-Boltzmann formulary: Third edition
Cecilia Herrero, Laurent Joly
The Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation provides a mean-field theory of electrolyte solutions at interfaces and in confinement, describing how ions reorganize close to charged surfaces…
Fast and Versatile Thermo-osmotic Flows with a Pinch of Salt
Cecilia Herrero, Michael De San Féliciano, Samy Merabia +1
Thermo-osmotic flows - flows generated in micro and nanofluidic systems by thermal gradients - could provide an alternative approach to harvest waste heat. However, such use would…
Fast Increase of Nanofluidic Slip in Supercooled Water: the Key Role of Dynamics
Cecilia Herrero, Gabriele Tocci, Samy Merabia +1
Nanofluidics is an emerging field offering innovative solutions for energy harvesting and desalination. The efficiency of these applications depends strongly on liquid-solid slip,…
