We present a theory which describes the transport properties of the interfacial region with respect to heat and mass transfer. Postulating the local Gibbs relation for a continuous description inside the interfacial region, we derive the…
In this paper we derive relations between the local resistivities inside the interfacial region and the overall resistances of the surface between two phases for a mixture. These resistivities are the coefficients in the force-flux…
Interfacial thermal transport is a critical bottleneck in nanoscale systems, where heat dissipation and energy efficiency are strongly modulated by molecular ordering at solid-liquid boundaries. Here, using atomistic simulations of…
A clear understanding and proper control of interfacial thermal transport is important in nanoscale device. In this review, we first discuss the theoretical methods to handle the interfacial thermal transport problem, such as the…
The interfacial tension of a liquid droplet surrounded by another liquid in the presence of microscopic ions is studied as a function of the droplet radius. An analytical expression for the interfacial tension is obtained within a linear…
Many physical situations are characterized by interfaces with a non trivial shape so that relevant geometric features, such as interfacial area, curvature or unit normal vector, can be used as main indicators of the topology of the…
We consider the lateral diffusion of a protein interacting with the curvature of the membrane. The interaction energy is minimized if the particle is at a membrane position with a certain curvature that agrees with the spontaneous curvature…
Reaction-diffusion waves in multiple spatial dimensions advance at a rate that strongly depends on the curvature of the wave fronts. These waves have important applications in many physical, ecological, and biological systems. In this work,…
Adhesion between two bodies is a key parameter in wear processes. At the macroscale, strong adhesive bonds are known to lead to high wear rates, as observed in clean metal-on-metal contact. Reducing the strength of the interfacial adhesion…
Mass transfer of gaseous components from rising bubbles to the ambient liquid depends not only on the chemical potential difference of the transfer component but also on the interfacial free energy and composition. The latter is strongly…
In this paper we calculate the interfacial resistances to heat and mass transfer through a liquid-vapor interface in a binary mixture. We use two methods, the direct calculation from the actual non-equilibrium solution and integral…
Several model fluids in contact with planar, spherical, and cylindrical walls are investigated for small number densities within density functional theory. The dependence of the solid-fluid interfacial tension on the curvature of spherical…
The classical nucleation theory (CNT) concept of a nucleus as a fragment of the bulk new phase fails for nanosized nuclei. An extension of CNT taking into account the properties of the transition region between coexisting bulk phases is…
Nucleation and growth is the dominant relaxation mechanism driving first order phase transitions. In two-dimensional at systems nucleation has been applied to a wide range of problems in physics, chemistry and biology. Here we study…
In recent prior work, the author derived interfacial mass and heat flux conditions for phase-change processes. The mass flux condition is identical to the Schrage equation, but the additional heat flux expression enables one to couple the…
Coupling between chemical fuel consumption and phase separation can lead to condensation at a nonequilibrium steady state, resulting in phase behaviors that are not described by equilibrium thermodynamics. Theoretical models of such…
Microscale granular sliding within fault gouge is fundamental to earthquake nucleation, yet the mechanism by which temperature affects friction through interfacial water remains poorly understood. Here, large-scale molecular dynamics…
The interfacial thermal resistance determines condensation-evaporation processes and thermal transport across material-fluid interfaces. Despite its importance in transport processes, the interfacial structure responsible for the thermal…
In this article, we report the influence of the interfacial roughness on the thermal boundary conductance between two crystals, using molecular dynamics. We show evidence of a transition between two regimes, depending on the interfacial…
Based on the microscopic model, the friction coefficient for the relative motion of nuclei in deep-inelastic heavy-ion collisions is calculated. The radial dependence of the friction coefficient is studied and the results are compared with…
