Binary mixtures of water with lower alcohols display non-linear phase behaviour upon mixing which are attributed to potential cluster formation at molecular level. Unravelling such elusive structures requires the investigation of…
An extensive series of neutron diffraction experiments and molecular dynamics simulations has shown that mixtures of methanol and water exhibit extended structures in solution despite the components being fully miscible in all proportions.…
Ethanol-water mixtures are a classic example of thermodynamic non-ideality, yet the structural origin of their pronounced anomalies, such as volume contraction and a large negative excess entropy, has remained a long-standing puzzle. Here,…
Methanol-water liquid mixtures have been investigated by high-energy synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction at low temperatures. We are thus able to report the first complete sets of both X-ray and neutron weighted total scattering…
Results of systematic molecular dynamics studies of ethanol-water mixtures, over the entire concentration range, were reported previously to agree with experimental X-ray diffraction data. These simulated systems are analyzed in this work…
We explored the composition dependence of a rather comprehensive set of properties of liquid water-ethanol mixtures by using the isobaric-isothermal molecular dynamics computer simulations. The united atom non-polarizable model from the…
Isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine the microscopic structure and some properties of water-methanol liquid mixture. The TIP4P/2005 and SPC/E water models are combined with the united atom TraPPE and the…
We report the temperature, pressure and composition dependence of some basic properties of model liquid water-methanol mixtures. For this purpose the isobaric-isothermal molecular dynamics computer simulations are employed. Our principal…
We explore the effects of composition and temperature on the apparent molar volumes of species of water-methanol mixtures. Isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations are used with this purpose. Several combinations of models for…
The interaction of water with surfaces is crucially important in a wide range of natural and technological settings. In particular, at low temperatures, unveiling the atomistic structure of adsorbed water clusters would provide valuable…
It is shown that structuring at the microlevel, a previously not described in detail phenomenon, is the intrinsic property of water and aqueous solutions. At room conditions water (including "ultrapure" one) and aqueous solutions are…
Computer simulations using atomistic model are carried out to investigate the stability of ternary systems of pure or mixed fatty alcohols, cetrimide, and water. These semi$-$solid oil-in-water systems are used as the main component of…
Water hydrogen bonding is extremely versatile; approximately 20 ice structures and several types of clathrate hydrate structures have been identified. These crystalline water structures form at temperatures below room temperature and/or at…
Formation of microstructure in homogeneous associated liquids is analysed through the density-density pair correlation functions, both in direct and reciprocal space, as well as an effective local one-body density function. This is…
We have investigated the hydrogen-bonded structures in liquid methanol and a 7:3 mole fraction aqueous solution using classical Molecular Dynamics simulations at 298K and ambient pressure. We find that, in contrast to recent predictions…
Water - tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) binary mixture exhibits a large number of thermodynamic and dynamic anomalies. These anomalies are observed at surprisingly low TBA mole fraction, with $x_{\text{TBA}} \approx 0.03 - 0.07$. We demonstrate…
In this work, we discuss the connection between the anomalies of the thermodynamic properties, experimentally observed in tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) and water solutions, and the molecular clustering in these solutions, as revealed by…
We present a neutron scattering analysis of the density and the static structure factor of confined methanol at various temperatures. Confinement is performed in the cylindrical pores of MCM-41 silicates with pore diameters D=24 angstrom…
Gas-phase methanol was recently detected in a protoplanetary disk for the first time with ALMA. The peak abundance and distribution of methanol observed in TW Hya differed from that predicted by chemical models. Here, the chemistry of…
Since the structural transformations observed in water-ethanol binary mixtures are apparently driven by relatively weak intermolecular forces (like hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonding) that often cooperate to form self assembled structures,…
