Interfacial free energy and Tolman length of curved liquid-solid interfaces from equilibrium studies
P. Montero de Hijes, Jorge. R. Espinosa, Valentino Bianco +2
In this work, we study by means of simulations of hard spheres the equilibrium between a spherical solid cluster and the fluid. In the NVT ensemble we observe stable/metastable clu…
Anomalous Behavior in the Nucleation of Ice at Negative Pressures
Valentino Bianco, Pablo Montero de Hijes, Cintia P. Lamas +2
Ice nucleation is a phenomenon that, despite the relevant implications for life, atmospheric sciences, and technological applications, is far from being completely understood, espe…
Rheology of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms: from experiments to predictive DPD mesoscopic modelling
Jose Mart. n-Roca, Valentino Bianco, Francisco Alarcon +6
Bacterial biofilms mechanically behave as viscoelastic media consisting of micron-sized bacteria crosslinked to a selfproduced network of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) e…
Liquid-Liquid Critical Point in 3D Many-Body Water Model
Luis Enrique Coronas, Valentino Bianco, Arne Zantop +1
Many-body interactions can play a relevant role in water properties. Here we study by Monte Carlo simulations a coarse-grained model for bulk water that includes many-body interact…
Reentrant spinodals and the Speedy scenario in colloidal model systems
Lorenzo Rovigatti, Valentino Bianco, José Maria Tavares +1
A re-entrant gas-liquid spinodal was proposed as a possible explanation of the apparent divergence of the compressibility and specific heat on supercooling water. Such a counter in…
