A model is developed for describing the transport of charged colloidal particles in an evaporating sessile droplet on the electrified metal substrate in the presence of a solvent flow. The model takes into account the electric charge of…
The fundamental understanding of friction of liquids on solid surfaces remains one of the key knowledge gaps in the transport of fluids. While the standard perspective emphasizes the role of wettability and commensurability, recent works…
Despite decades of intense study, the mechanisms underlying the extraordinary dynamics of supercooled liquids as they approach the glass transition remain, at best, mis-characterized, and at worst, misunderstood. A long standing endeavor is…
Self-organization of kinesin-driven, microtubule-based 3D active fluids relies on the collective dynamics of single microtubules. However, the connection between macroscopic fluid flows and microscopic motion of microtubules remains…
Experiments studying vibrational effects on electronic transport through single molecules have observed several seemingly inconsistent behaviors, ranging from up to 30 harmonics of a vibrational frequency in one experiment, to an absence of…
It is commonly accepted that shear waves do not propagate in a liquid medium. The shear wave energy is supposed to dissipate nearly instantaneously. This statement originates from the difficulty to access static shear stress in macroscopic…
Disordered packings of soft grains are fragile mechanical systems that loose rigidity upon lowering the external pressure towards zero. At zero pressure, we find that any infinitesimal strain-impulse propagates initially as a non-linear…
Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the slow dynamics of a hard sphere fluid confined in a disordered porous matrix. The presence of both discontinuous and continuous glass transitions as well as the complex interplay between…
We perform lengthy molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC/E model of water to investigate the dynamics under pressure at many temperatures and compare with experimental measurements. We calculate the isochrones of the diffusion constant…
The description of molecular motion by macroscopic hydrodynamics has a long and continuing history. The Stokes-Einstein relation between the diffusion coefficient of a solute and the solvent viscosity predicted using macroscopic continuum…
Simplest extensions of single particle dynamics in momentum conserving active fluid - that of an active suspension of two colloidal particles or a single particle confined by a wall - exhibit strong departures from Boltzmann behavior,…
We study the statistics of flow events in the inherent dynamics in supercooled two- and three-dimensional binary Lennard-Jones liquids. Distributions of changes of the collective quantities energy, pressure and shear stress become…
We study theoretically and numerically a family of multi-point dynamic susceptibilities that quantify the strength and characteristic lengthscales of dynamic heterogeneities in glass-forming materials. We use general theoretical arguments…
We investigate the origin of the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) between diffusivity and viscosity in undercooled melts. A binary Lennard-Jones system, as a model for a metallic melt, is studied by molecular dynamics. A weak…
The origin of the dramatic changes in the behavior of liquids as they approach their vitreous state - increases of many orders of magnitude in transport properties and dynamic time scales - is a major unsolved problem in condensed matter.…
In this work, the short-time dynamics of simple liquid is explored both analytically and numerically with the focus on the interplay between the density fluctuations in a volume surrounding a chosen particle and its random walk motion. The…
Using generalized hydrodynamics, we study the thermal behavior of dipole-compression collective oscillations in a harmonically trapped one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas across the crossover from weak to strong repulsive contact interactions. A…
We present a comprehensive analysis of effective temperatures based on fluctuation-dissipation relations in a model of an active fluid composed of self-propelled hard disks. We first investigate the relevance of effective temperatures in…
Molecular electronics is a fascinating area of research with the ability to tune device properties by a chemical tailoring of organic molecules. However, molecular electronics devices often suffer from dispersion and lack of reproducibility…
The breaking of a chemical bond is fundamental in most chemical reactions. To understand chemical processes in heterogeneous catalysis or on-surface polymerization the study of bond dissociation in molecules adsorbed on crystalline surfaces…
