Fluctuation modes of nanoconfined DNA [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, 2012 We report an experimental investigation of the magnitude of length and density fluctuations in DNA that has been stretched in nanofluidic channels. We find that the experimental data can be described using a one-dimensional overdamped oscillator chain with nonzero equilibrium spring length and that a chain of discrete oscillators yields a better ...

Duplex DNA Is Weakened in Nanoconfinement
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020 For proteins and DNA secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes and i-motifs, nanoconfinement can facilitate their folding and increase structural stabilities. However, the properties of the physiologically prevalent B-DNA duplex have not been elucidated inside the nanocavity.

Adsorption at Nanoconfined Solid–Water Interfaces
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2023 Reactions at solid–water interfaces play a foundational role in water treatment systems, catalysis, and chemical separations, and in predicting chemical fate and transport in the environment. Over the last century, experimental measurements and computational models have made tremendous progress in capturing reactions at solid surfaces. The interfacial

Polar Mixtures under Nanoconfinement
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009 We present results from molecular dynamics simulations describing structural and dynamical characteristics of equimolar mixtures of water and acetonitrile, confined between two silica walls separated at interplate distances of d=0.6, 1, and 1.5 nm. Two different environments were investigated: a first one where wall-solvent dispersion forces prevail ...

Unravelling nanoconfined films of ionic liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2014 The confinement of an ionic liquid between charged solid surfaces is treated using an exactly solvable 1D Coulomb gas model. The theory highlights the importance of two dimensionless parameters: the fugacity of the ionic liquid, and the electrostatic interaction energy of ions at closest approach, in determining how the disjoining pressure exerted on ...

Rheological Characteristics of Ionic Liquids under Nanoconfinement [PDF]
, 2022 While the dynamic properties of ionic liquids (ILs) in nanoconfinement play a crucial role in the performance of IL-based electrochemical and mechanical devices, experimental work mostly falls short at reporting “solid-like” versus “liquid-like ...
