How does ethane wet different substrates?

Ł. Baran, D. Tarasewicz, W. Rżysko

Computer simulations are employed to investigate the adsorption mechanisms of ethane on both homogeneous and inhomogeneous substrates. For homogeneous surfaces, the full range of s…

Impact of the sodium and calcium chlorides uptake on the interfacial behavior of ice: premelting, structure, and dynamics

Łukasz Baran, Luis G. MacDowell

Hypothesis: Seawater ice and frozen aqueous solutions in contact with air can exhibit a thin quasi-brine surface layer intruding between ice and vapor, but a detailed characterizat…

How important is the dielectric constant in water modeling? Evaluation of the performance of the TIP4P/ force field and its compatibility with the Joung-Cheatham NaCl model

Łukasz Baran, Cosmin A. Dicu-Gohoreanu, Luis G. MacDowell

Efficient large-scale computer simulations of aqueous solutions require the use of accurate but simple empirical force fields for water. However, the complexity of these systems ev…

Self-assembly of chromatic patchy particles with tetrahedrally arranged patches

Dariusz Tarasewicz, Edyta Raczyłło, Wojciech Rżysko +1

The achievement of selectivity in the formation of cubic diamond is challenging due to the emergence of competing phases such as its hexagonal polymorph or clathrates possessing si…

Understanding Interfacial Ice Premelting: Structure, Adhesion and Nucleation

Łukasz Baran, Pablo Llombart, Luis G. MacDowell

In this work, we perform a systematic computer simulation study of ice premelting, and explore the thickness and structure of quasi-liquid layers formed at the interface of ice wit…

Confinement enhanced viscosity vs shear thinning in lubricated ice friction

Lukasz Baran, Luis G. MacDowell

The ice surface is known for presenting a very small kinetic friction coefficient, but the origin of this property remains highly controversial to date. In this work, we revisit re…
