Quantifying surfactant adsorption at fluid interfaces by combining X-ray reflectivity and simulations
Kay-Robert Dormann, Joshua Reed, Chen Shen +4
Adsorption of surfactants to fluid interfaces occurs in numerous daily-life and technological contexts. The surfactant surface coverage governs interface characteristics like…
Impact of Nanoscopic Impurity Aggregates on Cavitation in Water
Marin Å ako, Roland R. Netz, Matej KanduÄ
The stability of water against cavitation under negative pressures is a phenomenon known for considerable discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observation…
Nanoscale defects and heterogeneous cavitation in water
Marin Å ako, Fabio Staniscia, Roland R. Netz +2
Cavitation, the formation of vapor bubbles in metastable liquids, is highly sensitive to nanoscale surface defects. Using molecular dynamics simulations and classical nucleation th…
Water cavitation results from the kinetic competition of bulk, surface and surface-defect nucleation events
Philip Loche, Matej KanduÄ, Emanuel Schneck +1
Water at negative pressures can remain in a metastable state for a surprisingly long time before it reaches equilibrium by cavitation, i.e. by the formation of vapor bubbles. The w…
