TLDR
Both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) are considered and how confinement affects the glass transition is addressed.Abstract:
We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of confinement effects on freezing and melting We consider both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) The most commonly used molecular simulation, theoretical and experimental methods are first presented We also provide a brief description of the most widely used porous materials The current state of knowledge on the effects of confinement on structure and freezing temperature, and the appearance of new surface-driven and confinement-driven phases are then discussed We also address how confinement affects the glass transitionread more

Confinement Effects on the Crystalline Features of Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)
Jaime Martín,Alberto D. Scaccabarozzi,Aurora Nogales,Ruipeng Li,Detlef-M. Smilgies,Natalie Stingelin +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the two-dimensional spatial confinement on the internal structure of the semiconducting polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) was investigated.

On the behaviour of supercooled liquids and polymers in nano-confinement
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) technique was used to study relaxation processes in detail and to disentangle in favourable cases pure pore size effects from effects that are induced by the confining surface.

Structural and Dynamical Behaviour of Colloids with Competing Interactions Confined in Slit Pores.
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of some of these periodic microphases can be promoted by confinement in narrow slit pores, and it was shown that both the cluster-crystal and lamellar phases can be stable up to higher temperatures than in the bulk system, whereas the hexagonal phase is destabilised at temperatures somewhat lower than in bulk.
Philosophical Magazine Behaviour of a solvent trapped in a physical molecular gel
TL;DR: In this article, measurements of neutron scattering (Time of Flight and Neutron Spin Echo) characterizing the microscopic behavior of Methyl-4,6-O-benzylidene- -D-mannopyranoside gels are presented.

Complex Plasmas in Narrow Channels: Impact of Confinement on the Local Order
TL;DR: In this paper, two-dimensional and three-dimensional quasi-equilibrium configurations of a complex (dusty) plasma in narrow channels are investigated using the molecular dynamics simulations for various confining potentials (confinements).

Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.

Inhomogeneous Electron Gas
P. C. Hohenberg,Walter Kohn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ground state of an interacting electron gas in an external potential was investigated and it was proved that there exists a universal functional of the density, called F[n(mathrm{r})], independent of the potential of the electron gas.

Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Monte Carlo integration over configuration space is used to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional rigid-sphere system with a set of interacting individual molecules, and the results are compared to free volume equations of state and a four-term virial coefficient expansion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the gear predictor -corrector is used to calculate forces and torques in a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation using Monte Carlo methods. But it is not suitable for the gear prediction problem.
