Why Are Alkali Halide Solid Surfaces Not Wetted By Their Own Melt?
T. Zykova-Timan, D. Ceresoli, U. Tartaglino +1
Alkali halide (100) crystal surfaces are anomalous, being very poorly wetted by their own melt at the triple point. We present extensive simulations for NaCl, followed by calculati…
Sealing is at the Origin of Rubber Slipping on Wet Roads
B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, O. Albohr +1
Loss of braking power and rubber skidding on a wet road is still an open physics problem, since neither the hydrodynamical effects nor the loss of surface adhesion that are sometim…
Electronic friction and liquid-flow-induced voltage in nanotubes
B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, E. Tosatti +1
A recent exciting experiment by Ghosh et al. reported that the flow of an ion-containing liquid such as water through bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes induces a voltage in…
Boundary Lubrication: Squeeze-out Dynamics of a Compressible 2D Liquid
U. Tartaglino, B. N. J. Persson, A. I. Volokitin +1
The expulsion dynamics of the last liquid monolayer of molecules confined between two surfaces has been analyzed by solving the two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes equation for a co…
Bending strain-driven modification of surface reconstructions: Au(111)
U. Tartaglino, E. Tosatti, D. Passerone +1
Strain can affect the morphology of a crystal surface, and cause modifications of its reconstruction even when weak, as in the case of mechanical bending. We carried out calculatio…
Bent surface free energy differences from simulation
U. Tartaglino, D. Passerone, E. Tosatti +1
We present a calculation of the change of free energy of a solid surface upon bending of the solid. It is based on extracting the surface stress through a molecular dynamics simula…
