Using a density functional method, we investigate the properties of liquid 4He droplets doped with atoms (Ne and Xe) and molecules (SF_6 and HCN). We consider the case of droplets having a quantized vortex pinned to the dopant. A liquid…
Rubidium dimers residing on the surface of He nanodroplets are doubly ionized by an intense fs laser pulse leading to fragmentation into a pair of $\mathrm{Rb^+}$ ions. We show that the kinetic energy of the $\mathrm{Rb^+}$ fragment ions…
Recently, it was shown how the primary steps of solvation of a single Na$^+$ ion, instantly created at the surface of a nanometer-sized droplet of liquid helium, can be followed at the atomic level [Albrectsen et al. Nature $\textbf{623}$,…
We obtain an analytic expression for the specific heat of a system of N rigid rotators exactly in the high temperature limit, and via a pertubative approach in the low temperature limit. We then evaluate the specific heat of a diatomic gas…
We report a molecular dynamics simulation of melting of tungsten (W) nanoparticles. The modified embedded atom method (MEAM) interatomic potentials are used to describe the interaction between tungsten atoms. The melting temperature of…
In this study Mo-Nb-Ta-W refractory high-entropy alloys (R-HEAs) have been studied for their phase stability for a wide temperature range (100 K to 2000 K). The equilibrium thermodynamic phases are determined by the changes in enthalpy and…
Cold collisions of ground state oxygen molecules with Helium have been investigated in a wide range of cold collision energies (from 1 $\mu$K up to 10 K) treating the oxygen molecule first as a rigid rotor and then introducing the…
We present a complete calculation of the structure of liquid $^4$He confined to a concave nanoscopic wedge, as a function of the opening angle of the walls. This is achieved within a finite-range density functional formalism. The results…
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the dependence of migration behaviours of single helium atoms near tungsten surfaces on the surface orientation and temperature. For W{100} and W{110} surfaces, He atoms can quickly…
A thermostat of the Nose-Hoover type, based on relative velocities and a local definition of the temperature, is presented. The thermostat is momentum-conserving and Galilean-invariant, which should make it suitable for use in Dissipative…
Kinetic temperature is a fundamental parameter in molecular clouds. Symmetric top molecules, such as NH$_3$ and CH$_3$CCH, are often used as thermometers. However, at high temperatures, NH$_3$(2,2) can be collisionally excited to…
We study the dynamics of an active gel droplet with imposed orientational anchoring (normal or planar) at its surface. We find that if the activity is large enough droplets subject to strong anchoring spontaneously start to rotate, with the…
In this paper, with the corresponding formula for internal energy obtained in Ref. [J. Phys. Stud. {\bf 11}, 259 (2007)], combined with a simple calculation of the effective mass of interacting Bose particles, the behavior of the heat…
A beam of rotating dipolar particles (molecules or clusters) will broaden when passed through an electric or magnetic field gradient region. This broadening, which is a common experimental observable, can be expressed in terms of the…
Exploring the limits of the microscopic reversibility principle, we investigated the interplay between thermal and electron tunneling excitations for the unidirectional rotation of a molecule-rotor on the Au(111) surface. We identified a…
The rotational dynamics of a supercooled molecular liquid is investigated by a molecular-dynamics numerical study. We detect rotational jumps with a waiting-time distribution which is well fitted by a truncated power law. At lower…
In this work we present a molecular dynamics investigation of thermal transport in a silica-gallium nitride nanocomposite. A surprising enhancement of the thermal conductivity for crystalline volume fractions larger than 5% is found, which…
We present results of temperature dependent measurements of dynamics of micellar nanoparticle - polymer composites of fixed volume fraction and variable polymer chain grafting density. For nanoparticles with lower grafting density we…
We investigate the dynamics of nanoscale droplets in the vicinity of chemical steps which separate parts of a substrate with different wettabilities. Due to long-ranged dispersion forces, nanodroplets positioned on one side of the step…
The temperature distribution in nanowires due to Joule heating is studied analytically using a continuum model and a Green's function approach. We show that the temperatures reached in nanowires can be much lower than that predicted by bulk…
