porous materials. Our emphasis is on fundamental studies of simple fluids (composed of …

Self-assembly of patchy particles

Z Zhang, SC Glotzer - Nano letters, 2004 - ACS Publications
Molecular simulations are performed to study the self-assembly of particles with discrete,
attractive interaction sites−“patches”− at prescribed locations on the particle surface. Chains …

Characterization of porous glasses: Simulation models, adsorption isotherms, and the Brunauer− Emmett− Teller analysis method

LD Gelb, KE Gubbins - Langmuir, 1998 - ACS Publications
We have developed a realistic model for studying adsorption in porous glasses which
reproduces the complex structure of these materials. The model porous material is …

Kinetics of phase transitions

S Puri - Kinetics of phase transitions, 2009 - taylorfrancis.com
Many systems exist in multiple phases, depending on the values of external parameters, for
example, temperature (T), pressure (P), and so on. In this context, consider a fluid (eg …

Tethered nano building blocks: Toward a conceptual framework for nanoparticle self-assembly

Zhang, MA Horsch, MH Lamm, SC Glotzer - Nano letters, 2003 - ACS Publications
We perform molecular simulations to study the self-assembly of nanoparticles functionalized
with oligomeric tethers attached to specific locations on the nanoparticle surface. We …

Power-law coarsening in network-forming phase separation governed by mechanical relaxation

M Tateno, H Tanaka - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
A space-spanning network structure is a basic morphology in phase separation of soft and
biomatter, alongside a droplet one. Despite its fundamental and industrial importance, the …

Hybrid polymer–liquid lithium ion electrolytes: effect of porosity on the ionic and molecular mobility

Computer simulations of domain growth and phase separation in two-dimensional binary immiscible fluids using dissipative particle dynamics

PV Coveney, KE Novik - Physical Review E, 1996 - APS
We investigate the dynamical behavior of binary fluid systems in two dimensions using
dissipative particle dynamics. We find that following a symmetric quench the domain size R …
