Molecular-sized bubbles in a liquid: free energy of formation beyond the capillarity approximation
J. Puibasset
We investigate the transient bubbles that spontaneously appear in a simple liquid using molecular simulations. The objective is to deduce the free-energy of formation of the bubble…
A statistical analysis of the first stages of freezing and melting of Lennard-Jones particles: Number and size distributions of transient nuclei
Patrice Porion, Joël Puibasset
The freezing/melting transition is at the heart of many natural and industrial processes. In the classical picture, the transition proceeds via the nucleation of the new phase, whi…
Are nucleation bubbles in a liquid all independent?
Joël Puibasset
The spontaneous formation of tiny bubbles in a liquid is at the root of the nucleation mechanism during the liquid-to-vapor transition of a metastable liquid. The smaller the bubbl…
Molecular simulation study of the heat capacity of metastable water between 100K and 300K
Joel Puibasset, P. Judeinstein, J. -M Zanotti
Molecular simulation study of the heat capacity of metastable water between 100K and 300K Molecular simulations have been used to study the heat capacity of metastable liquid water…
Adsorption-Induced Deformation of a Nanoporous Material: Influence of the Fluid-Adsorbent Interaction and Surface Freezing on the Pore-Load Modulus Measurement
J. Puibasset
Liquid adsorption in nanoporous materials induces their deformation due to strong capillary forces. The linear relationship between the liquid pressure and the solid strain (pore-l…
Influence of system size on the properties of a fluid adsorbed in a nanopore: Physical manifestations and methodological consequences
Joël Puibasset, Edouard Kierlik, Gilles Tarjus
We consider the theoretical description of a fluid adsorbed in a nanopore. Hysteresis and discontinuities in the isotherms in general hampers the determination of equilibrium therm…
