Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in a Minimal Explicit-Solvent Lattice Model Mimicking Protein Solutions

Siddhartha Roy, Rakesh S. Singh

Biomolecular condensates play essential roles in cellular processes, and recent efforts have focused on understanding their assembly and rational design principles. In this study,…

Compositional fluctuations and polymorph selection in crystallization of model soft colloids

Abhilasha Kumari, Gadha Ramesh, Debasish Koner +2

Understanding polymorph selection in atomic and molecular systems and its control through thermodynamic conditions and external factors (such as seed characteristics) is fundamenta…

Manifestations of the possible thermodynamic origin of water's anomalies in non-classical vapor nucleation at negative pressures

Yuvraj Singh, Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh

Over the years, various scenarios -- such as the stability-limit conjecture (SLC), two critical point (TCP), critical point-free (CPF), and singularity-free (SF) -- have been propo…

Effects of quenched disorder on the kinetics and pathways of phase transition in a soft colloidal system

Gadha Ramesh, Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh

Although impurities are unavoidable in real-world and experimental systems, most numerical studies on nucleation focus on pure (impurity-free) systems. As a result, the role of imp…

Anomalous Vapor and Ice Nucleation in Water at Negative Pressures: A Classical Density Functional Theory Study

Yuvraj Singh, Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh

In contrast to the abundance of work on the anomalous behavior of water, the relationship between the water's thermodynamic anomalies and kinetics of phase transition from metastab…

Polymorph selection during crystallization of a model colloidal fluid with a free energy landscape containing a metastable solid

Mantu Santra, Rakesh S. Singh, Biman Bagchi

The free energy landscape responsible for crystallization can be complex even for relatively simple systems like hard sphere and charged stabilized colloids. In this work, using ha…

Orientational order as the origin of the long-range hydrophobic effect

Saikat Banerjee, Rakesh S. Singh, Biman Bagchi

The long range attractive force between two hydrophobic surfaces immersed in water is observed to decrease exponentially with their separation -- this distance-dependence of effect…
