Molecular hydrodynamics of the moving contact line in two-phase immiscible flows
Tiezheng Qian, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ping Sheng
The ``no-slip'' boundary condition, i.e., zero fluid velocity relative to the solid at the fluid-solid interface, has been very successful in describing many macroscopic flows. A p…
Field-induced giant static dielectric constant in nano-particle aggregates at room temperature
F. CHEN, J. SHULMAN, S. TSUI +4
The analogy between magnetism and electricity has long been established by Maxwell in the 19th century, in spite of their subtle difference. While magnetic materials display parama…
Chiral microstructures (spirals) fabrication by holographic lithography
Yee Kwong Pang, Jeffrey Chi Wai Lee, Hung Fai Lee +3
We present an optical interference model to create chiral microstructures (spirals) and its realization in photoresist using holographic lithography. The model is based on the inte…
Liquid crystal pretilt control by inhomogeneous surfaces
Jones T. K. Wan, Ophelia K. C. Tsui, Hoi-Sing Kwok +1
We consider the pretilt alignment of nematic liquid crystal (LC) on inhomogeneous surface patterns comprising patches of homeotropic or homogeneous alignment domains, with azimutha…
Current Dissipation in Thin Superconducting Wires: Accurate Numerical Evaluation Using the String Method
Tiezheng Qian, Weiqing Ren, Ping Sheng
Current dissipation in thin superconducting wires is numerically evaluated by using the string method, within the framework of time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with a Langev…
Hydrodynamic slip boundary condition at chemically patterned surfaces: A continuum deduction from molecular dynamics
Tiezheng Qian, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ping Sheng
We investigate the slip boundary condition for single-phase flow past a chemically patterned surface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that modulation of fluid-solid intera…
