In this work, we present a new “hybrid” method for dielectric measurements of nanolitre fluid samples on-wafer. The first part of the hybrid method is a technique which extracts the 4 complex permittivity of the microfluidic channel wall material. The

Quasi-Two-dimensional Phase Transition of Methane Adsorbed in Cylindrical Silica Mesopores

Daniel W. Siderius, William P. Krekelberg, Wei-Shan NMN Chiang, Vincent K. Shen, Yun Liu
Using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, we examine the adsorption of methane in cylindrical silica mesopores in an effort to understand a possible phase transition of adsorbed methane in MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica that was previously identified

In situ Angstrom-to-Micrometer Characterization of the Structural and Microstructural Changes in Kaolinite on Heating using Ultra-Small-Angle, Small-Angle, and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS/SAXS/WAXS)

September 26, 2017

Fan Zhang, Andrew J. Allen, Greeshma Gadikota
In this study, synchrotron-based in-operando multi-scale X-ray scattering analyses are used to connect the microstructural changes to the phase changes in kaolinite on heating from 30 °C to 1150 °C. Combined ultra-small-angle and small-angle X-ray

Internal Pressure and Internal Energy of Saturated and Compressed Phases

September 12, 2017
Author(s)
Joe W. Magee, Ilmutdin Abdulagatov, Nikolai Polikhronidi, Rabiyat Batyrova
Following a critical review of the field, a comprehensive analysis is provided of the internal pressure of fluids and fluid mixtures and its determination in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Further, the physical meaning is discussed of the

Yang-Yang Critical Anomaly

Author(s)
Joe W. Magee, Ilmutdin Abdulagatov, Nikolai Polikhronidi, Rabiyat Batyrova
Following a critical review of related research, a method is described to evaluate the Yang-Yang critical anomaly strength function, , from experimental measurements of two-phase liquid ( ) and vapor ( ) isochoric heat capacities and liquid ( ) and vapor (

Surface interaction parameter measurement of solvated polymers via model end-tethered chains

August 11, 2017
Author(s)
Richard J. Sheridan, Sara V. Orski, Ronald L. Jones, Sushil K. Satija, Kathryn L. Beers
We present a method for the direct measurement of the relative energy of interaction between a solvated polymer and a solid interface. By tethering linear chains covalently to the surface, we ensured the idealized and constant configuration of polymer

Temperature extrapolation of multicomponent grand canonical free energy landscapes

August 7, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Jeffrey R. Errington, Vincent K. Shen
We derive a method for extrapolating the grand canonical free energy landscape of a multicomponent fluid system from one temperature to another. Previously, we introduced this statistical mechanical framework for the case where kinetic energy contributions

Connection between thermodynamics and dynamics of simple fluids in pores: impact of fluid-fluid interaction range and fluid-solid interaction strength

July 5, 2017
Author(s)
William P. Krekelberg, Daniel W. Siderius, Vincent K. Shen, Thomas M. Truskett, Jeffrey R. Errington
Using molecular simulations, we investigate how the range of fluid-fluid (adsorbate-adsorbate) interactions and the strength of fluid-solid (adsorbate-adsorbent) interactions impact the strong connection between distinct adsorptive regimes and distinct
