Electrochemistry is re-gaining attention among scientists because the complex interplay between electronic and chemical interfacial processes lies at the bottom of a broad range of important research disciplines like alternative energy conversion or green catalysis and synthesis. While rapid progress has been made in recent years regarding novel technological applications, the community increas...

We study the nucleation of a bubble in a metastable Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid, confined to a spherical pore with wetting walls, by a combination of grand canonical, canonical ensemble, and gauge cell Monte Carlo simulation methods complemented by the Voronoi-Delaunay tessellation analysis of statistical geometry of intermolecular cavities. We construct the isotherm of confined fluid in the form ...

Colloidal particles that are confined to an interface such as the air-water interface are an example of a two-dimensional fluid. Such dispersions have been observed to spontaneously form cluster and stripe morphologies in certain systems with isotropic pair potentials between the particles, due to the fact that the pair interaction between the colloids has competing attraction and repulsion ove...

Two-dimensional uid with competing interactions exhibiting microphase separation: Theory for bulk and interfacial properties. Colloidal particles that are confined to an interface such as the air-water interface are an example of a two-dimensional fluid. Such dispersions have been observed to spontaneously form cluster and stripe morphologies in certain systems with isotropic pair potentials be...

Abstract. The dynamical density functional theory of Marconi and Tarazona [J. Chem. Phys., 110, 8032 (1999)], a theory for the non-equilibrium dynamics of the onebody density profile of a colloidal fluid, is applied to a binary fluid mixture of repulsive Gaussian particles confined in a spherical cavity of variable size. For this model fluid there exists an extremely simple Helmholtz free energ...
