Quantum tunneling of the superconducting order parameter gives rise to the phase slippage process which controls the resistance of ultra-thin superconducting wires at sufficiently low temperatures. If the quantum phase slip rate is high,…

Nanofluidic memristors have demonstrated great potential for neuromorphic system applications with the advantages of low energy consumption and excellent biocompatibility. Here, an effective way is developed to regulate the memristive…

Polarization of the interface, spontaneously occurring when water is in contact with hydrophobic solutes or air, couples with the uniform external field to produce a non-zero force acting on a suspended particle. This force exists even in…

The control of the dielectric and conductive properties of device-level systems is important for increasing the efficiency of energy- and information-related technologies. In some cases, such as neuromorphic computing, it is desirable to…

Using a differential magneto-optical technique to visualize flow of transport currents, we reveal a new delocalization line within the reversible vortex liquid region in the presence of a low density of columnar defects. This line separates…

Water electrolysis in a microsystem is observed and analyzed on a short-time scale ~10 us. Very unusual properties of the process are stressed. An extremely high current density is observed because the process is not limited by the…

The movement of the particles in a capillary electrophoretic system under electroosmotic flow was modeled using Monte Carlo simulation with Metropolis algorithm. Two different cases, with repulsive and attractive interactions between…

The recent measurement of a very low dielectric constant, $\epsilon$, of water confined in nanometric slit pores leads us to reconsider the physical basis of ion partitioning into nanopores. For confined ions in chemical equilibrium with a…

Nanofabrication techniques for achieving dimensional control at the nanometer scale are generally equipment-intensive and time-consuming. The use of energetic beams of electrons or ions has placed the fabrication of nanopores in thin…

We observe current rectification in a molecular diode consisting of a semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotube and an impurity. One half of the nanotube has no impurity, and it has a current-voltage (I-V) charcteristic of a typical…

A cross-diffusion system describing ion transport through biological membranes or nanopores in a bounded domain with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions is analyzed. The ion concentrations solve strongly coupled diffusion equations…

Recent experiments with electrolytes driven through conical nanopores give evidence of strong rectified current response. In such devices, the asymmetry in the confinement is responsible of the non-Ohmic response, suggesting that the…

The integration of the coupling effects of intrinsic wettability and surface charge in a nanochannel can cause non-intuitive behavior in the electrokinetic energy conversion processes. We demonstrate that in a nanofluidic device the energy…

An energy-based liquid-vapor interface detection method is presented using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of liquid menisci confined between two parallel plates under equilibrium and evaporation/condensation conditions. This method…

Phase separation in charged systems may involve the replacement of critical points by microphase separated states, or charge-density-wave states. A density functional theory for highly charged colloids at low ionic strength is developed to…

We report a multiscale modeling study for charged cylindrical nanopores using three modeling levels that include (1) an all-atom explicit-water model studied with molecular dynamics (MD), and reduced models with implicit water containing…

Electrostatic cooling is known to occur in conductors and in porous electrodes in contact with aqueous electrolytes. Here we present for the first time evidence of electrostatic cooling at the junction of two electrolyte phases. These are,…

A model describing spin-polarized current via discrete energy levels of a metallic nanoparticle, which has strongly asymmetric tunnel contacts to two ferromagnetic leads, is presented. In absence of spin-relaxation, the model leads to a…

Single-wall carbon nanotubes are almost ideal systems for the investigation of exotic many-body effects due to non-Fermi liquid behavior of interacting electrons in one dimension. Recent theoretical and experimental results are reviewed…

We present a study of self-driven flow dynamics at the liquid-gas interface within nanofluidic pores, devoid of any external driving forces. The investigation centres on the Rayleigh-Taylor instability phenomena occurring in sub-100…
