Nanowire Melting Modes during the Solid-Liquid Phase Transition: Theory and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Kannan M. Ridings, Shaun C. Hendy
Molecular dynamics simulation have shown that after initial surface melting, nanowires can melt via two mechanisms: an interface front moves towards the wire centre; the growth of…
Asymmetric Assembly of Lennard-Jones Janus Dimers
Sina Safaei, Caleb Todd, Jack Yarndley +2
Self-assembly of Janus (or `patchy') particles is dependent on the precise interaction between neighbouring particles. Here, the orientations of two amphiphilic Janus spheres withi…
Surface Melting and Breakup of Metal Nanowires: Theory and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Kannan M. Ridings, Thomas S. Aldershof, Shaun C. Hendy
We consider the surface melting of metal nanowires by solving a phenomenological two-parabola Landau model and by conducting molecular dynamics simulations of nickel and aluminium…
The rolling and slipping of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces
Alexander F. W. Smith, Keoni Mahelona, Shaun C. Hendy
The leaves of many plants are superhydrophobic, a property that may have evolved to clean the leaves by encouraging water droplets to bead up and roll off. Superhydrophobic surface…
Analysing Scientific Collaborations of New Zealand Institutions using Scopus Bibliometric Data
Samin Aref, David Friggens, Shaun Hendy
Scientific collaborations are among the main enablers of development in small national science systems. Although analysing scientific collaborations is a well-established subject i…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Janus Particle Dynamics in Uniform Flow
Aurelien Y. M. Archereau, Shaun C. Hendy, Geoff. R. Willmott
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the dynamics of Janus particles, micro- or nanoparticles which are not spherically symmetric, in the uniform flow of a simple liquid.…
