Dynamical density functional theory for the evaporation of droplets of nanoparticle suspension
C. Chalmers, R. Smith, A. J. Archer
We develop a lattice gas model for the drying of droplets of a nanoparticle suspension on a planar surface, using dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) to describe the time ev…
Dynamical density functional theory analysis of the laning instability in sheared soft matter
Alberto Scacchi, Andrew J. Archer, Joseph M. Brader
Using dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) methods we investigate the laning instability of a sheared colloidal suspension. The nonequilibrium ordering at the laning transiti…
Nudged Elastic Band calculation of the binding potential for liquids at interfaces
Oleg Buller, Walter Tewes, Andrew J. Archer +3
The wetting behavior of a liquid on solid substrates is governed by the nature of the effective interaction between the liquid-gas and the solid-liquid interfaces, which is describ…
The standard mean-field treatment of inter-particle attraction in classical DFT is better than one might expect
Andrew J. Archer, Blesson Chacko, Robert Evans
In classical density functional theory (DFT) the part of the Helmholtz free energy functional arising from attractive inter-particle interactions is often treated in a mean-field o…
Modelling the evaporation of nanoparticle suspensions from heterogeneous surfaces
C. Chalmers, R. Smith, A. J. Archer
We present a Monte Carlo (MC) grid-based model for the drying of drops of a nanoparticle suspension upon a heterogeneous surface. The model consists of a generalised lattice-gas in…
Solvent fluctuations around solvophobic, solvophilic and patchy nanostructures and the accompanying solvent mediated interactions
Blesson Chacko, Robert Evans, Andrew J. Archer
Using classical density functional theory (DFT) we calculate the density profile and local compressibility of a simple liquid solvent in which a p…
