Stratification of drying particle suspensions: Comparison of implicit and explicit solvent simulations
Yanfei Tang, Gary S. Grest, Shengfeng Cheng
Large scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to study drying suspensions of a binary mixture of large and small particles in explicit and implicit solvents. The solvent is f…
Control of Stratification in Drying Particle Suspensions via Temperature Gradients
Yanfei Tang, Gary S. Grest, Shengfeng Cheng
A potential strategy for controlling stratification in a drying suspension of bidisperse particles is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. When the suspension is maintaine…
Capillary Forces on a Small Particle at a Liquid-Vapor Interface: Theory and Simulation
Yanfei Tang, Shengfeng Cheng
We study the meniscus on the outside of a small spherical particle with radius at a liquid-vapor interface. The liquid is confined in a cylindrical container with a finite radi…
High-Precision Megahertz-to-Terahertz Dielectric Spectroscopy of Protein Collective Motions and Hydration Dynamics
Ali Charkhesht, Chola K. Regmi, Katie R. Mitchell-Koch +2
The low-frequency collective vibrational modes in proteins as well as the protein-water interface have been suggested as dominant factors controlling the efficiency of biochemical…
Stratification in Drying Films Containing Bidisperse Mixtures of Nanoparticles
Yanfei Tang, Gary S. Grest, Shengfeng Cheng
Large scale molecular dynamics simulations for bidisperse nanoparticle suspensions with an explicit solvent are used to investigate the effects of evaporation rates and volume frac…
The Meniscus on the Outside of a Circular Cylinder: from Microscopic to Macroscopic Scales
Yanfei Tang, Shengfeng Cheng
We systematically study the meniscus on the outside of a small circular cylinder vertically immersed in a liquid bath in a cylindrical container that is coaxial with the cylinder.…
