Nano-indentation of a room-temperature ionic liquid film on silica: a computational experiment
P. Ballone, M. G. Del Pópolo, S. Bovio +3
We investigate the structure of the [bmim][Tf2N]/silica interface by simulating the indentation of a thin (4 nm) [bmim][Tf2N] film by a hard nanometric tip. The ionic liquid/silica…

Mesophases in Nearly 2D Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
N. Manini, M. Cesaratto, M. G. Del Popolo +1
Computer simulations of (i) a [C12mim][Tf2N] film of nanometric thickness squeezed at kbar pressure by a piecewise parabolic confining potential reveal a mesoscopic in-plane densit…

2D-Drop model applied to the calculation of step formation energies on a (111) substrate
M. I. Rojas, G. E. Amilibia, M. G. Del Popolo +1
A model is presented for obtaining the step formation energy for metallic islands on (111) surfaces from Monte Carlo simulations. This model is applied to homo (Cu/Cu(111), Ag/Ag(1…
