AbstractMembrane-based applications such as osmotic power generation, desalination and molecular separation would benefit from decreasing water friction in nanoscale channels. However, mechanisms that allow fast water flows are not fully understood yet. Here we report angstrom-scale capillaries made from atomically flat crystals and study the effect of confining walls’ material on water friction. A massive difference is observed between channels made from isostructural graphite and hexagonal boron nitride, which is attributed to different electrostatic and chemical interactions at the solid-liquid interface. Using precision microgravimetry and ion streaming measurements, we evaluate the slip length, a measure of water friction, and investigate its possible links with electrical conductivity, wettability, surface charge and polarity of the confining walls. We also show that water friction can be controlled using hybrid capillaries with different slip lengths at opposing walls. The reported advances extend nanofluidics’ toolkit for designing smart membranes and mimicking manifold machinery of biological channels.

Abstract High-temperature laser-scanning confocal microscopy (HT-LSCM) has proven to be an excellent experimental technique through in-situ observations of high temperature phase transformation to study kinetics and morphology using thin disk steel specimens. A 1.0 kW halogen lamp, within the elliptical cavity of the HT-LSCM furnace radiates heat and imposes a non-linear temperature profile across the radius of the steel sample. This local temperature profile when exposed at the solid/liquid interface determines the kinetics of solidification and phase transformation morphology. A two-dimensional numerical heat transfer model for both isothermal and transient conditions is developed for a concentrically solidifying sample. The model can accommodate solid/liquid interface velocity as an input parameter under concentric solidification with cooling rates up to 100 K/min. The model is validated against a commercial finite element analysis software package, Strand7, and optimized with experimental data obtained under near-to equilibrium conditions. The validated model can then be used to define the temperature landscape under transient heat transfer conditions.

ABSTRACTThermodynamic properties, structures, defects and their configurations of a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones (LJ) system are investigated close to crystal to glass transition (CGT) via molecular dynamics simulations. The CGT is achieved by saturating the LJ binary arrays below glass transition temperature with one type of the atoms which has different atomic size from that of the host atoms. It was found that for a given atomic size difference larger than a critical value, the CGT proceeds with increasing solute concentrations in three stages, each of which is characterized by distinct behaviors of translational and bond-orientational order correlation functions. An intermediate phase which has a quasi-long range orientational order but short range translational order has been found to exist prior to the formation of the amorphous phase. The destabilization of crystallinity is observed to be directly related to defects. We examine these results in the context of two dimensional (2D) melting theory. Finite size effects on these results, in particular on the intermediate phase formation, are discussed.
