Local pressure for confined systems
Paolo Malgaretti, Markus Bier
We derive a general closed expression for the local pressure exerted onto the corrugated walls of a channel confining a fluid medium. When the fluid medium is at equilibrium the lo…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of charge-regulated surfaces
Arghya Majee, Markus Bier, Rudolf Podgornik
The interaction between two chemically identical charge-regulated surfaces is studied using the classical density functional theory. In contrast to common expectations and assumpti…
Smectic phases in ionic liquid crystals
Hendrik Bartsch, Markus Bier, Siegfried Dietrich
Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) are anisotropic mesogenic molecules which carry charges and therefore combine properties of liquid crystals, e.g., the formation of mesophases, and of…
Wedge wetting by electrolyte solutions
Maximilian Mußotter, Markus Bier
The wetting of a charged wedge-like wall by an electrolyte solution is investigated by means of classical density functional theory. As in other studies on wedge wetting, this geom…
Salt-induced microheterogeneities in binary liquid mixtures
Markus Bier, Julian Mars, Hailong Li +1
The salt-induced microheterogeneity (MH) formation in binary liquid mixtures is studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and liquid state theory. Previous experiments have sh…
Electrolyte solutions at curved electrodes. II. Microscopic approach
Andreas Reindl, Markus Bier, S. Dietrich
Density functional theory is used to describe electrolyte solutions in contact with electrodes of planar or spherical shape. For the electrolyte solutions we consider the so-called…
