The adsorption of lysozyme, cytochrome c and myoglobin, similar-sized globular proteins of approximately 1.5 nm radius, into the mesoporous silica material Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) with 3.3 nm mean pore radius has been studied…
We describe the method allowing quantitative interpretation of absorptive images of mixtures of BEC and thermal atoms which reduces possible systematic errors associated with evaluation of the contribution of each fraction. By using known…
We derive a mode-coupling theory for the slow dynamics of fluids confined in disordered porous media represented by spherical particles randomly placed in space. Its equations display the usual nonlinear structure met in this theoretical…
A mode-coupling theory for the motion of a strongly forced probe particle in a dense colloidal suspension is presented. Starting point is the Smoluchowski equation for $N$ bath and a single probe particle. The probe performs Brownian motion…
We study the spatio-temporal dynamics of water uptake by capillary condensation from unsaturated vapor in mesoporous silicon layers (pore radius $r_\mathrm{p} \simeq 2$ nm), taking advantage of the local changes in optical reflectance as a…
We report experimental observations of an undulational instability of myelin figures. Motivated by this, we examine theoretically the deformation and possible instability of concentric, cylindrical, multi-lamellar membrane structures. Under…
We present a computational study of the dynamic behavior of a Ziff-Gulari-Barshad model of CO oxidation with CO desorption on a catalytic surface. Our results provide further evidence that below a critical desorption rate the model exhibits…
It is shown that a bare simple fluid model (SFM) proposed some years ago for studying adsorption between two semi-infinite solid walls can be improved by modifying the surface term in the grand potential for the film phase. Such a…
In the Cu Cr system, the formation of supersaturated solid solutions can be obtained by severe plastic deformation. Energy dispersive synchrotron diffraction measurements on as deformed Cu Cr samples as a function of the applied strain…
Theoretical framework for the isosteric heat of adsorption is developed treating the effects of the non-ideal gas behavior and the adsorbed phase volume. Rigorous thermodynamic treatment for the adsorbed phase volume is presented for…
We study phase behaviour of a model fluid confined between two unlike parallel walls in the presence of long range (dispersion) forces. Predictions obtained from macroscopic (geometric) and mesoscopic arguments are compared with numerical…
Breathing transitions represent recently discovered adsorption-induced structural transformations between large-pore and narrow-pore conformations in bistable metal-organic frameworks, such as MIL-53. We present a multiscale physical…
The absorption energy of atomic hydrogen at rotated graphene bilayers is studied using ab initio methods based on the density functional theory including van der Waals interactions. We find that, due to the surface corrugation induced by…
Adsorption and dissociation of hydrocarbons on metallic surfaces represent crucial steps to carburization of metal. Here, we use density functional theory total energy calculations with the climbing-image nudged elastic band method to…
Elastic capsules, prepared from droplets or bubbles attached to a capillary (as in a pendant drop tensiometer), can be deflated by suction through the capillary. We study this deflation and show that a combined analysis of the shape and…
Inelastic scattering and carrier capture by defects in semiconductors are the primary causes of hot-electron-mediated degradation of power devices, which holds up their commercial development. At the same time, carrier capture is a major…
Hysteresis in the pressure-saturation relation in unsaturated porous media, which is due to surface tension on the liquid-gas interface, exhibits strong degeneracy in the resulting mass balance equation. Solutions to such degenerate…
Theoretical models of compaction processes, such as for example intergranular pressure-solution (IPS), focus on deformation occurring at the contacts between spherical grains that constitute an aggregate. In order to investigate the…
When a suspension dries, the suspending fluid evaporates, leaving behind a dry film composed of the suspended particles. During the final stages of drying, the height of the fluid film on the substrate drops below the particle size,…
We present a simple method for accessing the elastic properties of microscopic deformable particles. This method is based on measuring the pressure-induced deformation of soft particles as they are forced through a tapered glass…
