Machine-Learned Many-Body Potentials for Charged Colloids reveal Gas-Liquid Spinodal Instabilities only in the strong-coupling regime of Primitive Models
Thijs ter Rele, René van Roij, Marjolein Dijkstra
Past experimental observations of gas-liquid and gas-crystal coexistence in low-salinity suspensions of highly charged colloids have suggested the existence of like-charge attracti…

Ion Selectivity in Uncharged Tapered Nanoslits through Heterogeneous Water Polarization
Tim Veenstra, Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, Giuliana Giunta +2
We employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate ion and water transport driven by an electric field through quasi-two-dimensional nanoslits with a tapered geometry. Despite…

Learning Neural Free-Energy Functionals with Pair-Correlation Matching
Jacobus Dijkman, Marjolein Dijkstra, René van Roij +3
The intrinsic Helmholtz free-energy functional, the centerpiece of classical density functional theory, is at best only known approximately for 3D systems. Here we introduce a meth…
