Structural and Dynamical Fingerprints of the Anomalous Dielectric Properties of Water Under Confinement
Iman Ahmadabadi, Ali Esfandiar, Ali Hassanali +1
There is a long-standing question about the molecular configuration of interfacial water molecules in the proximity of solid surfaces, particularly carbon atoms which play a crucia…
Graphene-TiS heterojunction for selective polar vapor sensing at room temperature
Nassim Rafiefard, Azam Iraji zad, Ali Esfandiar +5
In this work, the room temperature polar vapor sensing behavior of two dimentional (2D) heterojunction Graphene-TiS3 materials and TiS3 nanoribbons is investigated. TiS3 nanoribbon…
Complete steric exclusion of ions and proton transport through confined monolayer water
K. Gopinadhan, S. Hu, A. Esfandiar +7
It has long been an aspirational goal to create artificial structures that allow fast permeation of water but reject even the smallest hydrated ions, replicating the feat achieved…
Anomalously low dielectric constant of confined water
L. Fumagalli, A. Esfandiar, R. Fabregas +10
The dielectric constant of interfacial water has been predicted to be smaller than that of bulk water (= 80) because the rotational freedom of water dipoles is expected to decrease…
Size effect in ion transport through angstrom-scale slits
A. Esfandiar, B. Radha, F. C. Wang +6
It has been an ultimate but seemingly distant goal of nanofluidics to controllably fabricate capillaries with dimensions approaching the size of small ions and water molecules. We…
Scalable and efficient separation of hydrogen isotopes using graphene-based electrochemical pumping
M. Lozada-Hidalgo, S. Zhang, S. Hu +3
Thousands of tons of isotopic mixtures are processed annually for heavy-water production and tritium decontamination. The existing technologies remain extremely energy intensive an…
Molecular transport through capillaries made with atomic-scale precision
B. Radha, A. Esfandiar, F. C. Wang +13
Nanometre-scale pores and capillaries have long been studied because of their importance in many natural phenomena and their use in numerous applications. A more recent development…
Optical Spectra of Graded Nanostructured TiO2 Chiral Thin Films
F. Babaei, A. Esfandiar, H. Savaloni
The rigorous coupled wave analysis method (RCWA) is applied to the graded chiral TiO2 thin films in axial and non-axial excited states using the Bruggeman homogenization formalism.…
