Voltage controlled iontronic switches: a computational method to predict electrowetting in hydrophobically gated nanopores
Gonçalo Paulo, Alberto Gubbiotti, Giovanni Di Muccio +1
Reliable and controllable switches are crucial in nanofluidics and iontronics. Ion channels in nature serve as a rich source of inspiration due to their intricate mechanisms modula…
Bubbles enable volumetric negative compressibility in metastable elastocapillary systems
Davide Caprini, Francesco Battista, Pawel Zajdel +11
Although coveted in applications, few materials expand when subject to compression or contract under decompression, i.e., exhibit the negative compressibility phenomenon. A key ste…
What keeps nanopores boiling
Alberto Giacomello
The liquid to vapour transition can occur at unexpected conditions in nanopores, opening the door to fundamental questions and new technologies. The physics of boiling in confineme…
Structural transformations in Cu, Ag, and Au metal nanoclusters
Manoj Settem, Cesare Roncaglia, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Finite-temperature structures of Cu, Ag, and Au metal nanoclusters are calculated in the entire temperature range from 0 K to melting using a computational methodology that we prop…
Charting nanocluster structures via convolutional neural networks
Emanuele Telari, Antonio Tinti, Manoj Settem +3
A general method to obtain a representation of the structural landscape of nanoparticles in terms of a limited number of variables is proposed. The method is applied to a large dat…
