Structural properties of liquids in extreme confinement
We simulate a hard-sphere liquid in confined geometry where the separation of the two
parallel, hard walls is smaller than two particle diameters. By systematically reducing the …

Confinement-induced demixing and crystallization
We simulate a strongly size-disperse hard-sphere fluid confined between two parallel hard
walls. We find that confinement induces crystallization into n-layered hexagonal lattices and …

Structure and flow conditions through a colloidal packed bed formed under flow and confinement
When a colloidal suspension flows in a constriction, particles deposit and are able to clog it

Long-Wavelength Fluctuations in Quasi-2D Supercooled Liquids
We use molecular simulation to characterize the dynamics of supercooled liquids confined
in quasi-2D slit geometries. Similar to bulk supercooled liquids, the confined systems exhibit …

Tagged-particle motion in quasi-confined colloidal hard-sphere liquids
We investigate the tagged-particle motion in a strongly interacting quasi-confined liquid
using periodic boundary conditions along the confining direction. Within a mode-coupling …
