Thermodiffusion in aqueous electrolyte solutions exhibits complex dependencies on temperature, concentration, and salt composition, yet its microscopic origins remain incompletely understood. Here, we employ non-equilibrium molecular…
Aqueous electrolyte solutions under the influence of a temperature gradient can generate thermoelectric fields, which arise from different responses of the positive and negative charges. This is related to the thermo diffusion effect which…
The electrostatic screening properties of ionic fluids are of paramount importance in countless physical processes. Yet, the behavior of ionic conductors out of thermal equilibrium has to date mainly been studied in the context of…
Complexation between anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes results in solid-like precipitates or liquid-like coacervate depending on the added salt in the aqueous medium. However, the boundary between these polymer-rich phases is quite…
We analyze the time profile $\Delta T(t)$ of the temperature difference, measured across a very compressible supercritical $^3$He fluid layer in its convective state. The experiments were done along the critical isochore in a…
The electric field in an extended phase of a liquid electrolyte exposed to a temperature gradient is attributed to different thermophoretic mobilities of the ion species. As shown herein, such Soret-type ion thermodiffusion is not required…
Thermal convection in nanofluids is investigated by means of a continuum model for binary-fluid mixtures, with a thermal conductivity depending on the local concentration of colloidal particles. The applied temperature difference between…
Wetting of a charged substrate by an electrolyte solution is investigated by means of classical density functional theory applied to a lattice model. Within the present model the pure, i.e., salt-free solvent, for which all interactions are…
The temperature in the transient climate response is lower than the equilibrium temperature for the same amount of forcing. The degree of disequilibrium is not constant in time and depends on various climate parameters. We derive intuition…
Temperature gradients drive asymmetric ion distributions via thermodiffusion (the Soret effect), leading to deviations from the classical Debye--H\"uckel potential.We introduce the Eastman entropy of transfer, $\hat{S}_\pm = \alpha_\pm…
We present a molecular-dynamics study of the solvent reorganization energy of electron transfer in supercooled water. We observe a sharp decrease of the reorganization energy at a temperature identified as the temperature of structural…
Thermophoresis is the process of particles moving along a temperature gradient in thermodynamic systems. Even though it has been studied for over 150 years, there is neither a complete theoretical description of thermophoresis in liquids…
We study the temporal response of the electric current in an electrolyte under a sudden switch on or switch off of an external electric field of arbitrary magnitude. We use Stochastic Density Functional Theory including hydrodynamic…
Particle-in-cell direct simulation Monte Carlo simulations reveal that ion-acoustic instabilities excited in presheaths can cause significant ion heating. Ion-acoustic instabilities are excited by the ion flow toward a sheath when the…
Electron-ion interactions play a central role for the energy relaxation processes and ultra-fast structure dynamics in laser-heated matter. The accurate prediction of the electron-ion energy exchange in a transient excited two-temperature…
We calculate explicitly the variation $\delta T_c$ of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature $T_c$ induced by weak repulsive two-body interactions to leading order in the interaction strength. As shown earlier by general arguments,…
What happens when one of the parameters governing the dynamics of a long-range interacting system of particles in thermal equilibrium is abruptly changed (quenched) to a different value? While a short-range system, under the same…
A large family of plasmas has collisional mean-free-path much longer than the non-neutral sheath width, which scales with the plasma Debye length. The plasmas, particularly the electrons, assume strong temperature anisotropy in the sheath.…
Water exhibits remarkable anomalies when supercooled, attributed to a hypothesized liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) between low-density (LDL) and high-density (HDL) liquid phases. Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations,…
We study the thermal diffusion coefficient DT of a charged colloid in a temperature gradient, and find that it is to a large extent determined by the thermoelectric response of the electrolyte solution. The thermally induced salinity…
