In this paper, we consider a singular limit problem for a diffuse interface model for two immiscible compressible viscous fluids. Via a relative entropy method, we obtain a convergence result for the low Mach number limit to a corresponding…
The adsorption of anions from aqueous solution on the air/water interface controls important heterogeneous chemistry in the atmosphere and is thought to have similar physics to anion adsorption at hydrophobic interfaces more generally.…
The origin of the apparent negative charge at hydrophobic-water interfaces has fueled one of the biggest debates in physical chemistry for several decades. The most common interpretation given to explain this observation is that negatively…
We consider the critical behavior at an interface which separates two semi-infinite subsystems belonging to different universality classes, thus having different set of critical exponents, but having a common transition temperature. We…

Many physical systems, including classical fluids, present in their phase diagram the competition between two phases that are separated by a line of first-order phase transitions which terminates at a so-called critical point. Despite…
Nonspecific molecular adsorption like airborne contamination occurs on most surfaces including those of 2D materials and alters their properties. While the surface contamination is studied using a plethora of techniques, the effect of…

Four possible scenarios are considered for a transition from a quark-gluon matter to hadronic matter, and their corresponding correlation signatures are discussed. Four criteria are highlighted for a definitive experimental search for a QCD…
We argue that a crucial determinant of the acceptance dependence of fluctuation measures in heavy-ion collisions is the range of correlations in the momentum space, e.g., in rapidity, $\Delta y_{\rm corr}$. The value of $\Delta y_{\rm…
