Solvation and surface effects on polymorph stabilities at the nanoscale.
We explore the effects of particle size and solvent environment on the thermodynamic stability of two pairs of polymorphs subjected to ball-mill neat grinding (NG) and liquid assisted grinding (LAG). Two systems were studied: (i) forms I and II of a 1 : 1 theophylline : benzamide cocrystal and (ii) forms A and B of an aromatic disulfide compound. For both systems, the most stable-bulk polymorph...
متن کاملAqueous solvation dynamics at metal oxide surfaces.
Broadband transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy, three-pulse photon echo peak shift (3PEPS), and anisotropy decay measurements were used to study the solvation dynamics in bulk water and interfacial water at ZrO(2) surfaces, using Eosin Y as a probe. The 3PEPS results show a multiexponential behavior with two subpicosecond components that are similar in bulk and interfacial water, while a thir...
متن کاملCapillary waves' dynamics at the nanoscale
We study the dynamics of thermally excited capillary waves (CW) at molecular scales, using molecular dynamics simulations of simple liquid slabs. The analysis is based on the Fourier modes of the liquid surface, constructed via the intrinsic sampling method (Chacón and Tarazona 2003 Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 166103). We obtain the time autocorrelation of the Fourier modes to get the frequency and dam...
متن کاملUniversal contact-line dynamics at the nanoscale.
The relaxation dynamics of the contact angle between a viscous liquid and a smooth substrate is studied at the nanoscale. Through atomic force microscopy measurements of polystyrene nanostripes we simultaneously monitor both the temporal evolution of the liquid-air interface and the position of the contact line. The initial configuration exhibits high curvature gradients and a non-equilibrium c...
متن کاملMicrotubule Assembly Dynamics at the Nanoscale
BACKGROUND The labile nature of microtubules is critical for establishing cellular morphology and motility, yet the molecular basis of assembly remains unclear. Here we use optical tweezers to track microtubule polymerization against microfabricated barriers, permitting unprecedented spatial resolution. RESULTS We find that microtubules exhibit extensive nanometer-scale variability in growth ...
