Anomalous Diffusion and Stress Relaxation in Surfactant Micelles
Subas Dhakal, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar
We present the first molecular dynamics study to probe the mechanisms of anomalous diffusion in cationic surfactant micelles in the presence of explicit salt and solvent-mediated i…
Dynamics and Scission of Rodlike Cationic Surfactant Micelles in Shear Flow
Abhinanden Sambasivam, Ashish V. Sangwai, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar
Flow-induced configuration dynamics and scission of rodlike micelles are studied for the first time using molecular dynamics simulations in presence of explicit solvent and salt. P…
Topology, Length Scales and Energetics of Surfactant Micelles
Subas Dhakal, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar
We investigate the morphology and energetics of a self-associating model cationic surfactant in water using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. We develop an algorithm t…
Spin Coated Plasmonic Nanoparticle Interfaces for Photocurrent Enhancement in Thin Film Si Solar Cells
Miriam Israelowitz, Jennifer Amey, Tao Cong +1
Nanoparticle (NP) arrays of noble metals strongly absorb light in the visible to infrared wavelengths through resonant interactions between the incident electromagnetic field and t…
Effective permittivity of random plasmonic composites
Satvik N. Wani, Ashok S. Sangani, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar
An effective-medium theory (EMT) is developed to predict the effective permittivity ε_eff of dense random dispersions of high optical-conductivity metals such as Ag, Au and Cu. Dep…
Design and optimization of plasmonic-based metal-dielectric nanocomposite materials for energy applications
J. Trice, C. Favazza, H. Garcia +2
Metallic nanoparticles embedded in dielectrics permit enhanced capture of light at specific wavelengths through excitation of plasmons, i.e. the quanta of coherent and collective o…
