Water-methanol mixture confined in a graphene slit-pore
Roger Bellido-Peralta, Fabio Leoni, Carles Calero +1
Efficient and sustainable techniques for separating water-methanol mixtures are in high demand in the industry. Recent studies have revealed that membranes and 2D materials could a…
Structural signatures of ultrastability in a deposited glassformer
Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli, C. Patrick Royall +1
Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics si…
Size-pore-dependent methanol sequestration from water-methanol mixtures by an embedded graphene slit
Roger Bellido-Peralta, Fabio Leoni, Carles Calero +1
The separation of liquid mixture components is relevant to many applications -- ranging from water purification to biofuel production -- and is a growing concern related to the UN…
The physics of Empty Liquids: from Patchy particles to Water
John Russo, Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli +1
Empty liquids represent a wide class of materials whose constituents arrange in a random network through reversible bonds. Many key insights on the physical properties of empty liq…
Nanoconfined fluids: Uniqueness of water compared to other liquids
Fabio Leoni, Carles Calero, Giancarlo Franzese
Nanoconfinement can drastically change the behavior of liquids, puzzling us with counterintuitive properties. Moreover, it is relevant in applications, including decontamination an…
Non-classical nucleation pathways in stacking-disordered crystals
Fabio Leoni, John Russo
The nucleation of crystals from the liquid melt is often characterized by a competition between different crystalline structures or polymorphs, and can result in nuclei with hetero…
