The properties of the interface between solid and melt are key to solidification and melting, as the interfacial free energy introduces a kinetic barrier to phase transitions. This makes solidification happen below the melting temperature,…

We consider the surface melting of metal nanowires by solving a phenomenological two-parabola Landau model and by conducting molecular dynamics simulations of nickel and aluminium nanowires. The model suggests that surface melting will…

Depletion of the liquid density near a solid surface with a weak long-range fluid-surface interaction was studied by computer simulations of the liquid-vapor coexistence of a LJ fluid confined in slitlike pores. In a wide temperature range…

In this communication we demonstrate the existence of a first-order prewetting transition of a supracritical model polymer solution adjacent to an attractive surface. The model fluid we use mimics (qualitatively) an aqueous polyethylene…

Wetting phenomena are widespread in both natural and technological contexts. Despite the well-established nature of this scientific field and our extensive knowledge of its underlying principles, wetting remains a dynamic and vibrant area…

Surface properties of mixtures of charged platelike colloids and salt in contact with a charged planar wall are studied within density functional theory. The particles are modeled by hard cuboids with their edges constrained to be parallel…

The melting point of a material constitutes a pivotal property with profound implications across various disciplines of science, engineering, and technology. Recent advancements in machine learning potentials have revolutionized the field,…

It is well known that, at a macroscopic level, the boundary condition for a viscous fluid at a solid wall is one of "no-slip". The liquid velocity field vanishes at a fixed solid boundary. In this paper, we consider the special case of a…

We propose a rigorous approach of Semi-Infinite lattice systems illustrated with the study of surface transitions of the semi-infinite Potts model.

Density--functional simulations have been performed on Na$_{55}$, Na$_{92}$ and Na$_{142}$ clusters in order to understand the experimentally observed melting properties [M. Schmidt \textit{et al.}, Nature (London) \textbf{393}, 238…

The properties expected of "hot" non-flaring plasmas due to nanoflare heating in active regions are investigated using hydrodynamic modeling tools, including a two-fluid development of the EBTEL code. Here we study a single nanoflare and…

We study heat transfer from a heated nanoparticle into surrounding fluid, using molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the fluid next to the nanoparticle can be heated well above its boiling point without a phase change. Under…

With recent advances in micro- and nanofabrication, superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed. The statics and dynamics of fluids on these surfaces have been well characterized. However, few investigations have been…

Employing first principles parallel tempering molecular dynamics in the microcanonical ensemble, we report the presence of a clear solid-liquid-like melting transition in Al20+ clusters, not found in experiments. The phase transition…

The work describes the maximization problem regarding heating of an area on the surface of a thin plate within a given temperature range. The solution of the problem is applied to ion injectors. The given temperature range corresponds to a…

We consider the equilibrium of liquid droplets sitting on thin elastic sheets that are subject to a boundary tension and/or are clamped at their edge. We use scaling arguments, together with a detailed analysis based on the…

Conventional wetting theories on rough surfaces with Wenzel, Cassie-Baxter, and Penetrate modes suggest the possibility of tuning the contact angle by adjusting the surface texture. Despite decades of intensive study, there are still many…

A simple solid-on-solid model, proposed earlier to describe overlayer-induced faceting of bcc(111) surface, is applied to faceting of spherical surfaces covered by adsorbate monolayer. Monte Carlo simulation results show that morphology of…

Melting is a high temperature process that requires extensive sampling of configuration space, thus making melting temperature prediction computationally very expensive and challenging. Over the past few years, I have built two methods to…

Heterogeneous condensation of vapours mixed with a carrier gas in the stagnation point boundary layer flow near a cold wall is considered in the presence of solid particles much larger than the mean free path of vapour particles. The…
