Confinement-induced enhancement of diffusiophoretic forces on self-propellers
We study the effect of spatial confinement on the strength of propulsive diffusiophoretic forces acting on a particle that generates density gradients by exploiting the chemical free energy of its environment. Using a recently proposed simple model of a self-propelling device driven by chemical reactions taking place on some parts of its surface, we demonstrate that the force significantly incr...
متن کاملEffects of confinement on self - assembling systems
Systems in which particles can self-assemble into mono-or bilayers can form variety of stable and metastable structures on a nanometer length scale. For this reason confinement has a particularly strong effect on such systems. We discuss in some detail effects of confinement on lamellar and cubic phases with double-diamond structure. Structural deformations in slit geometry are described for la...
متن کاملSelf-assembled surfactants on patterned surfaces: confinement and cooperative effects on aggregate morphology.
The adsorption and self-assembly of surfactants are ubiquitous processes in several technological applications, including the manufacture of nano-structured materials using bottom-up strategies. Although much is known about the adsorption of surfactants on homogeneous flat surfaces from experiments, theory, and simulations, limited information is available, in quantifiable terms, regarding the ...

متن کاملEffects of confinement on freezing and melting.
We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials). The most commonly used molecular simulation, theoretical and experimental methods are first presented. We ...
