Electric field effects on electrolytes near rough dielectric surfaces by GPU-accelerated code

Isaac Smith, Nicholas Pogharian, Francisco J. Solis +2

Dielectric interfaces are ubiquitous in manufactured and natural systems, such as iontronic devices, supercapacitors, and living cells. These, often rough, dielectric surfaces host…

Gelation of functional peptides by trivalent cations at the air-water interface

Stephen A. Crane, Felipe Jimenez Angeles, Monica Olvera de la Cruz +2

We report a mechanism for gelation at fluid interfaces driven by multivalent-cation-mediated bridging. At the air-water interface, peptides with bound lanthanide cations undergo a…

Active Ionic Fluxes Induce Symmetry Breaking in Charge-Patterned Nanochannels

Sergi G. Leyva, Ahis Shresta, Monica Olvera de la Cruz

Biological systems rely on autonomous modes of charge transport to transmit signals. Instead, conventional synthetic systems typically depend on external fields, such as voltage or…

Induced phase transformation in ionizable colloidal nanoparticles

Leticia López-Flores, Monica Olvera de la Cruz

Acid-base equilibria directly influence the functionality and behavior of particles in a system. Due to the ionizing effects of acid-base functional groups, particles will undergo…
