Recrystallization of glasses is important in a wide range of applications including electronics and reactive materials. Molecular dynamics (MD) has been used to provide an atomic picture of this process, but prior work has neglected the…
A thorough characterization of the {\gamma}, {\beta} and glass phases of deuterated 1,1,2,2 Tetrachloroethane (C2D2Cl4) via Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance and Molecular Dynamic Simulations (MDS) is reported. The presence of molecular…
We have measured the linear dielectric susceptibility of two molecular glass formers close to Tg in order to estimate the size of the dynamically correlated clusters of molecules which are expected to govern the physics of glass formation.…
The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and the electrical conductivity of the transparent glasses in the composition 0.5Cs2O-0.5Li2O-3B2O3 (CLBO) were investigated in the 100 Hz - 10 MHz frequency range. The…
The improvement of the number of extractable ultracold neutrons (UCNs) from converters based on solid deuterium (sD$_2$) crystals requires a good understanding of UCN transport and how the crystal's morphology influences its transparency to…
Results of broadband dielectric spectroscopy and rheological studies of poly(propylene glycol) + SiO${_2}$ nanocomposites are presented. They show that the dynamics in high-concentrated composite is determined by confinement and adsorption…
We study the glassy dynamics taking place in dense assemblies of athermal active particles that are driven solely by a nonequilibrium self-propulsion mechanism. Active forces are modeled as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process,…
Transparent and conductive ZnO:Ga thin films are prepared by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. Their electron properties were investigated by the temperature-dependent Hall-effect technique. The 300-K carrier concentration and mobility were…
Nanofluidic transport is ubiquitous in natural systems from extra-cellular communication in biology to geological phenomena, and promotes the emergence of new technologies such as energy harvesting and water desalination. While experimental…
Materials with strongly-correlated electrons exhibit interesting phenomena such as metal-insulator transitions and high-temperature superconductivity. In stark contrast to ordinary metals, electron transport in these materials is thought to…
Commercially used carbonate-based electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries are susceptible to many challenges, including flammability, volatility, and lower thermal stability. Solvated ionic liquids of LiTFSI salt (lithium…
When salts are added to water, the viscosity generally increases suggesting the ions increase the strength of the water's hydrogen-bond network. However, infrared pump-probe measurements on electrolyte solutions have found that ions have no…
Orientational and translational decouplings in ultraviscous glass forming glycerol and its nanocolloid based on Ag nanoparticles, as the function of temperature and pressure up to challenging P more than 1.5 GPa, are discussed. The analysis…
We present a molecular dynamics study of the effects of confinement on the lubrication and flow properties of ionic liquids. We use a coarse-grained salt model description of ionic liquid as a lubricant confined between finite solid plates…
We report on the dynamic and structural characterization of lithium metasilicate $Li_2SiO_3$, a network forming ionic glass, by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The system is characterized by a network of $SiO_4$ tetrahedra…
Climate emergency has led to the investigation of CO$_{2}$ valorization routes. A competitive process included in this framework is the catalytic CO$_{2}$ cycloaddition to epoxides, to produce cyclic carbonates. Halide-based Ionic liquids…
The orientational dynamics of supercooled glycerol using molecular dynamics simulations for temperatures ranging from 323 K to 253 K, is probed through correlation functions of first and second ranks of Legendre polynomials, pertaining…
Self-diffusion and NMR relaxation of ethylammonium (EA) cations were studied in the protic ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) confined between parallel polar glass plates separated by a few um as a function of time after placement in…
Poly(ethylene oxide) is an important polymer with many applications, e.g., as solid-state electrolyte in batteries. Its relaxation dynamics, characterizing its molecular and submolecular motions, which is relevant for many of these…
Previously observed non-Arrhenius behavior in fast ion conducting glasses [\textit{Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.}\ \textbf{76}, 70 (1996)] occurs at temperatures near the glass transition temperature, $T_{g}$, and is attributed to changes in the ion…
