Capillary Waves at Liquid/Vapor Interfaces: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Scott W. Sides, Gary S. Grest, Martin-D. Lacasse
Evidence for capillary waves at a liquid/vapor interface are presented from extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a system containing up to 1.24 million Lennard-Jones particl…
Capillary-Wave and Chain-Length Effects at Polymer/Polymer Interfaces
Martin-D. Lacasse, Gary S. Grest, Alex J. Levine
A continuum-space bead-spring model is used to study the phase behavior of binary blends of homopolymers and the structure of the interface between the two immiscible phases. The s…
A Model for the Elasticity of Compressed Emulsions
Martin-Daniel Lacasse, Gary S. Grest, Dov Levine +2
We present a new model to describe the unusual elastic properties of compressed emulsions. The response of a single droplet under compression is investigated numerically for differ…
Deformation of Small Compressed Droplets
Martin-Daniel Lacasse, Gary S. Grest, Dov Levine
We investigate the elastic properties of small droplets under compression. The compression of a bubble by two parallel plates is solved exactly and it is shown that a lowest-order…
New Dynamic Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Method
Martin-D. Lacasse, Jorge Vinals, Martin Grant
The dynamical critical exponent of the two-dimensional spin-flip Ising model is evaluated by a Monte Carlo renormalization group method involving a transformation in time. The resu…
