Asymmetric Nanoparticle May Go Active at Room Temperature
Nan Sheng, YuSong Tu, Pan Guo +3
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that an asymmetrically shaped nanoparticle in dilute solution possesses a spontaneously curved trajectory within finite time interval,…
Spontaneous Directional Motion of Shaped Nanoparticle
Nan Sheng, YuSong Tu, Pan Guo +3
In nanoscale space and pico- to nanoseconds enormous physical, chemical and biological processes take place, while the motions of involved particles/molecules under thermal fluctua…
Inherent fluctuation-mediated equivalent force drives directional motions of nanoscale asymmetric particles -- Surf-riding of asymmetric molecules in thermal fluctuations
Yusong Tu, Nan Sheng, Rongzheng Wan +1
Using a simple theoretical model of a nanoscale asymmetric particle/molecule with asymmetric structure or/and asymmetric charge distribution, here using a charge dipole as an examp…
Asymmetrical free diffusion with orientation-dependence of molecules in finite timescales
Nan Sheng, Yusong Tu, Pan Guo +2
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that free diffusion of a nanoscale particle (molecule) with asymmetric structure critically depends on the orientation in a finite tim…
Demonstration of the existence of biased transportation in the asymmetric nanoscale systems induced by thermal noise from a simple mathematics perspective
Haiping Fang, Rongzheng Wan
The existence of net flux across the nanochannels under the asymmetrical static electric fields obtained at room temperature from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations [Nat. Nanotech…
Evaporation of tiny water aggregation on solid surfaces of different wetting properties
Shen Wang, Yusong Tu, Rongzheng Wan +1
The evaporation of a tiny amount of water on the solid surface with different wettability has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We found that, as the surface changed…
