We develop a simulational methodology allowing for simulation of the pressure-driven flow in the pore with flat and polymer-modified walls. Our approach is based on dissipative particle dynamics and we combine earlier ideas of fluid-like…
This paper provides an application of our hybrid continuum-particle scheme to liquids by considering unsteady shear flows driven by wall oscillations in nano-slots. The particle region (P) adjacent to the wall, is described at the atomistic…
Free-surface electrokinetic flows have been attracting increasing attention from the research community over recent times, as attributable to their diverse fields of applications ranging from fluid mixing, particle manipulation to…
We analyse surface-fluctuations-driven fluid flow through nano-channels to investigate the interplay between boundary layer flow structures and the bulk flow of fluid under a pressure-head. Surface fluctuations of a wide range of…
The comprehensive depiction of the many-body effects governing nanoconfined electrolytes is an essential step for the conception of nanofluidic devices with optimized performance. By incorporating self-consistently multivalent charges into…
Distribution of charge induced by a gate voltage in a graphene strip is investigated. We calculate analytically the charge profile and demonstrate a strong(macroscopic) charge accumulation along the boundaries of a micrometers-wide strip.…
Nanoscale fluid transport is typically pictured in terms of atomic-scale dynamics, as is natural in the real-space framework of molecular simulations. An alternative Fourier-space picture, that involves the collective charge fluctuation…
The electronic properties of the wormhole and the perturbed nanocylinder will be investigated using two different methods: the continuum gauge field-theory model which deals with the contin- uum approximation of the surface and the Haydock…
Classical and quantum dynamics are important limits for the understanding of the transport characteristics of interacting electrons in nanodevices. Here we apply an intermediate semiclassical approach to investigate the dynamics of two…
The potential barrier model considering an additional current that can lead to the high-gradient breakdowns in accelerating structures is proposed. An oscillatory resonance feature of the field emission current from a double-layer metal…
We study the stationary surface photocurrent in 2D electron gas near the helium surface. Electron gas is assumed to be attracted to the helium surface due to the image attracting force and an external stationary electric field. The…
Nanoparticles in solution acquire charge through dissociation or association of surface groups. Thus, a proper description of their electrostatic interactions requires the use of charge-regulating boundary conditions rather than the…
We numerically study the dynamics of a passive fluid droplet confined within a microchannel whose walls are covered with a thin layer of active gel. The latter represents a fluid of extensile material modelling, for example, a suspension of…
Electrokinetic flows of an aqueous NaCl solution in nanochannels with negatively charged surfaces are studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The four transport coefficients that characterise the response to weak electric and…
A simplified model has previously described the inductive charging of colliding identical grains in the presence of an external electric field. Here we extend that model by including heterogeneous surface charge distributions, grain…
The influence of depolarizing field on the magnitude and stability of a uniform polarization in ferroelectric capacitors and tunnel junctions is studied using a nonlinear thermodynamic theory. It is predicted that, in heterostructures…
Liquids in contact with solids are submitted to intermolecular forces making liquids heterogeneous and, in a mechanical model, the stress tensor is not any more spherical as in homogeneous bulks. The aim of this article is to show that a…
The ability to induce regions of high and low ionic concentration adjacent to a permeselective membrane or nanochannel subject to an externally applied electric field (a phenomenon termed concentration-polarization) has been used for a…
Graphene is an attractive electrode material to contact nanostructures down to the molecular scale since it can be gated electrostatically. Gating can be used to control the doping and the energy level alignment in the nanojunction, thereby…
We present a theory of the graphene nanoslide, a fundamental device for graphene straintronics that realizes a single pseudogauge barrier. We solve the scattering problem in closed form and demonstrate that the nanoslide gives rise to a…
