Fractional size dependence of surface tension of a growing nucleus with an inhomogeneous interface
Puja Banerjee, Biman Bagchi
The surface energy of the nucleus of a stable phase growing in the presence of several amorphous metastable phases of character intermediate between the initial and the final phase…
Translation-Rotation Coupling in the Dynamics of Linear Molecules in Water
Anjali S Nair, Puja Banerjee, Sarmistha Sarkar +1
We study by computer simulations the coupled rotational and translational dynamics of three important linear diatomic molecules, namely, carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO) and…
Tetrahedral entropy captures non-monotonicity of electrical conductivity in aqueous monatomic ions
Puja Banerjee, Biman Bagchi
The intriguing relationship between entropy and diffusion is a subject of much current interest. However, the experimentally observed unusual non-monotonic dependence of limiting i…
Interference effects between ion induced solvent polarisations in Liquid water
Puja Banerjee, Biman Bagchi
We calculate the effective force between two oppositely charged and similarly charged ions fixed in water as a function of separation distance R. At short separations, R less than…
Hidden role of metastable phases on surface tension and in the selection of solid polymorphs from melt
Puja Banerjee, Biman Bagchi
The preferential formation of one solid over the other, as it precipitates out from the melt at specific temperatures, is often explained by invoking a competition between thermody…
Adverse effect of ethanol on insulin dimer stability
Puja Banerjee, Sayantan Mondal, Biman Bagchi
Alcohol is widely believed to have an effect on diabetes, often considered beneficial in small amounts but detrimental in excess. The reasons are not fully known but questions have…
A unified picture of roto-translational dynamics in aqueous polyatomic ions
Puja Banerjee, Biman Bagchi
Mode-coupling theory provides a unified description of the rotational and translational dynamics of polyatomic ions. These molecular ions are distinct from usual models of ion diff…
A mode-coupling theory analysis of the rotation driven translational motion of aqueous polyatomic ions
Puja Banerjee, Biman Bagchi
In contrast to simple monatomic alkali and halide ions, complex polyatomic ions like nitrate, acetate, nitrite, chlorate etc. have not been studied in any great detail. Experiments…
Water rotational jump driven large amplitude molecular motions of nitrate ions in aqueous potassium nitrate solution
Puja Banerjee, Yashonath Subramanian, Biman Bagchi
Molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous potassium nitrate solution reveal a highly complex rotational dynamics of nitrate ions where, superimposed on the expected continuous Brow…
