Fluctuation-Dissipation Framework for Size-Dependent Surface Tension
Sergii Burian, Yevhenii Shportun, Liudmyla Klochko +3
The size-dependent liquid-vapor surface tension controls phase change, wetting, and transport at nanoscales, yet its first curvature correction, the Tolman length, remains difficul…
Interfacial Behavior from the Atomic Blueprint: Machine Learning-Guided Design of Spatially Functionalized a-SiO2 Surfaces
Evgenii Strugovshchikov, Viktor Mandrolko, Dominika Lesnicki +3
a-Quartz surfaces functionalized with hydroxyl and methyl groups provide a versatile platform for controlling interfacial properties critical to applications such as catalysis, pro…
Tailored Thermal Transport in Phase Change Materials-Based Nanocomposites through Interfacial Structuring
Viktor Mandrolko, Mykola Isaiev
Interfacial thermal transport is a critical bottleneck in nanoscale systems, where heat dissipation and energy efficiency are strongly modulated by molecular ordering at solid-liqu…
Tailoring Heat Transfer at Silica-Water Interfaces via Hydroxyl and Methyl Surface Groups
Viktor Mandrolko, Konstantinos Termentzidis, David Lacroix +1
Efficient thermal transport across solid-liquid interfaces is essential for optimizing heat dissipation in modern technological applications. This study employs molecular dynamics…
Features of the Contact Angle Hysteresis at the Nanoscale: A Molecular Dynamics Insight
Viktor Mandrolko, Guillaume Castanet, Sergii Burian +4
Understanding the physics of a three-phase contact line between gas, liquid, and solid is important for numerous applications. At the macroscale, the three-phase contact line respo…
