In our recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 65, 075316 (2002)], the selection rules for the Raman scattering in spherical nanocrystals are analyzed. Here we show, that a physically expedient choice of the coordinate system, related to the…
A thin circular elastic sheet floating on a drop-like liquid substrate is deformed due to incompatibility between the curved substrate and the planar sheet. We adopt a variational viewpoint by minimizing the non-convex membrane energy…
The ordering of nanoparticles into predetermined configurations is of importance to the design of advanced technologies. In this work, we moderate the surface anchoring against the bulk elasticity of liquid crystals to dynamically shape…
This is a small comment concerning the work by Smolyaninov et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett.94, 057401 (2005).
We present in this Letter a free-energy approach to the dynamics of a fluid near a nanostructured surface. The model accounts both for the static phase equilibrium in the vicinity of the surface (wetting angles, Cassie-Wenzel transition)…
This review introduces the elasticity theory of two-dimensional crystals and nematic liquid crystals on curved surfaces, the energetics of topological defects (disclinations, dislocations and pleats) in these ordered phases, and the…
Yagasaki et al. present results from a molecular dynamics trajectory illustrating coarsening of ice, which they interpret as evidence of transient coexistence between two distinct supercooled phases of liquid water. We point out that…
The equations in cond-mat/0011020 and Phys. Rev, Lett. 86, 4652 (2001) are valid but a numerical estimate in the paper is incorrect.
A key question in the interaction of droplets with lubricated and liquid-infused surfaces is what determines the apparent contact angle of droplets. Previous work has determined this using measured values of the geometry of the `skirt' --…
The original version of this paper has been withdrawn by the authors and merged with the revised version of astro-ph/9702014.
The main result of Xiao et al. [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 137204 (2005)] is shown to follow from Hamiltonian mechanics.
Water/solid interfaces are relevant to a broad range of physicochemical phenomena and technological processes such as corrosion, lubrication, heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry. Although many fields have contributed to rapid…
