This paper investigates the influence of interfaces on the performance of finite-sized mechanical metamaterial structures for vibration damping applications. The metamaterial structures are designed in a sandwich configuration in which two…
A particle placed in soft matter distorts its host and creates an energy landscape. This can occur, for example, for particles in liquid crystals, for particles on lipid bilayers or for particles trapped at fluid interfaces. Such energies…
Quantum devices, which rely on quantum mechanical effects for their operation, may offer advantages, such as reduced dimensions, increased speed, and energy efficiency, compared to conventional devices. However, quantum phenomena are…
Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that particle-covered interfaces can exist in stable non-spherical shapes as a result of the steric jamming of the interfacially trapped particles, which confers the interface with…
A material whose electrons are correlated can affect electron dynamics across the interface with another material. Such a "proximity effect" can have several manifestations, from order parameter leakage to generated effective interactions.…
The marriage between a two-dimensional layered material (2DLM) and a complex transition metal oxide (TMO) results in a variety of physical and chemical phenomena that would not have been achieved in either material alone. Interesting recent…
We investigate the equilibrium properties of a colloidal solution in contact with a soft interface. As a result of symmetry breaking, surface effects are generally prevailing in confined colloidal systems. In this Letter, particular…
We present a thermodynamic theory of plane coherent solid-solid interfaces in multicomponent systems subject to nonhydrostatic mechanical stresses. The interstitial and substitutional chemical components are treated separately using…
Particles bound to an interface interact because they deform its shape. The stresses that result are fully encoded in the geometry and described by a divergence-free surface stress tensor. This stress tensor can be used to express the force…
This article provides a comprehensive understanding of the interactions that can occur at the interface between liquids and materials. It describes the phenomena of sorption (adsorption and absorption), permeation and leaching from a…
Motivated by recent experimental work on multicomponent lipid membranes supported by colloidal scaffolds, we report an exhaustive theoretical investigation of the equilibrium configurations of binary mixtures on curved substrates. Starting…
Atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) indium selenide (InSe) has attracted considerable attention due to large tunability in the band gap (from 1.4 to 2.6 eV) and high carrier mobility. The intriguingly high dependence of band gap on layer…
The spontaneous organization of particles at the boundary between two fluids is a common occurrence. Scientists have extensively investigated various internal and external factors to manipulate and guide these self-assembly processes. This…
The design of complex materials and the formation of specific patterns often arise from the properties of the individual building blocks. In this respect, colloidal systems offer a unique opportunity because nowadays they can be synthesized…
A number of electronic devices involve metal/oxide interfaces in their structure where the oxide layer plays the role of electrical insulator. As the downscaling of devices continues, the oxide thickness can spread over only a few atomic…
In directed assembly, small building clocks are assembled into an organized structures under the influence of guiding fields. Capillary interactions provide a versatile route for structure formation. Colloids adsorbed on fluid interfaces…
The mechanisms underlying chemifriction, i.e. the contribution of interfacial bonding to friction in defected twisted graphene interfaces are revealed using fully atomistic machine-learning molecular dynamics simulations. This involves…
We present the advantages of a multiscale modelling strategy for the understanding of systems with charged interfaces. On the one hand, one can simulate a complex system at different levels, depending on the relevant length and time scales…
For scalar semilinear wave equations, we analyze the interaction of two (distorted) plane waves at an interface between media of different nonlinear properties. We show that new waves are generated from the nonlinear interactions, which…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials provide a platform for developing novel spintronic devices and circuits for low-power electronics. In particular, inducing magnetism and injecting spins in graphene have promised the emerging field of graphene…
