We study the structure and dynamics of liquid water in contact with Pd and Au (111) surfaces using \emph{ab initio} molecular dynamics simulations with and without van der Waals interactions. Our results show that the structure of water at…
To comprehend the complexities of the ice-water interface, we perform a study that attempts to correlate the altered dynamics of water to its perturbed structure at, and due to, the interface. The deviation from bulk values of structural…
Water at solid surfaces is key for many processes ranging from biological signal transduction to membrane separation and renewable energy conversion. However, under realistic conditions, which often include environmental and surface charge…
Experiments and computer simulations have established that liquid water's surfaces can deviate in important ways from familiar bulk behavior. Even in the simplest case of an air-water interface, distinctive layering, orientational biases,…
The structure of liquid water in the proximity of an interface can deviate significantly from that of bulk water, with surface-induced structural perturbations typically converging to bulk values at about ~1 nm from the interface. While…
Water-metal interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in many chemical processes, from catalysis to corrosion. Whereas water adlayers on atomically flat transition metal surfaces have been investigated in depth, little is known about…
The nanoscopic mass and charge distribution within the double layer at electrified interfaces plays a key role in electrochemical phenomena of huge technological relevance for energy production and conversion. However, in spite of its…
Three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM) has been a powerful tool to probe the atomic-scale structure of solid-liquid interfaces. As a nanoprobe moves along the 3D volume of interfacial liquid, the probe-sample interaction force…
Water/solid interfaces are relevant to a broad range of physicochemical phenomena and technological processes such as corrosion, lubrication, heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry. Although many fields have contributed to rapid…
We analyze and compare the structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of liquid water next to prototypical metals including Pt, graphite, and graphene. Our results are built on Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) generated…
Understanding the structure and chemical composition at the liquid-nanoparticle (NP) interface is crucial for a wide range of physical, chemical and biological processes. In this study, direct imaging of the liquid-NP interface by atom…
A model for the formation of cavitation nuclei in liquids has recently been presented with basis in interfacial liquid tension at non-planar solid surfaces of concave form. In the present paper investigations of water-solid interfaces by…
Structural correlations at a liquid-solid interface were explored with molecular dynamics simulations of a model aluminium system using the Ercolessi-Adams potential and up to 4320 atoms. Substrate atoms were pinned to their equilibrium…
The phase-field-crystal model is used to access the structure and thermodynamics of interfaces between two coexisting liquid crystalline phases in two spatial dimensions. Depending on the model parameters there is a variety of possible…
Hydrophobic solid-water interfaces underpin processes in nanofluidics, electrochemistry, and energy technologies. Microscopic insights into these systems are often inferred from our understanding of the air-water interface, which is assumed…
Friction is one of the main sources of dissipation at liquid water/solid interfaces. Despite recent progress, a detailed understanding of water/solid friction in connection with the structure and energetics of the solid surface is lacking.…
In models of Pt 111 and Pt 100 surfaces in water, motions of molecules in the first hydration layer are spatially and temporally correlated. To interpret these collective motions, we apply quantitative measures of dynamic heterogeneity that…
We present a study of the solvation properties of model aqueous electrode interfaces. The exposed electrodes we study strongly bind water and have closed packed crystalline surfaces, which template an ordered water adlayer adjacent to the…
The interface between liquid water and the Pt(111) metal surface is characterized structurally and thermodynamically via reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations within the ReaxFF framework. The formation of a distinct buckled adsorbate…
Water behaves very differently at surfaces and under extreme confinement, but the boundary between these two regimes has remained unclear. Despite evidence that interfacial effects persist under sub-nanometre confinement, the…
