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

Complex plasmas: An interdisciplinary research field
TL;DR: Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles and represent the plasma state of soft matter as discussed by the authors, and they can be easily manipulated in different ways, also at the level of individual particles.

The Physics of the Colloidal Glass Transition
Gary L. Hunter,Eric R. Weeks +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the current state of understanding of the colloidal glass transition, with an emphasis on experimental observations, is given in this paper, where the authors describe features of colloidal systems near and in glassy states, including increases in viscosity and relaxation times, dynamical heterogeneity and ageing.

Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena
TL;DR: There has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions as discussed by the authors, but it has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.

Nanoconfined Ionic Liquids
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of nanoconfined ILs, a new class of composites with the intrinsic chemistries of ILs and the original functions of solid matrices, highlighting the potential applications in diverse fields, including catalysis, gas capture and separation, ionogels, supercapacitors, carbonization, and lubrication.

Liquid-liquid phase separation in cylindrical pores: Quench molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations
Lev D. Gelb,Keith E. Gubbins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the phase separation of a binary mixture confined in three different cylindrical pores by several simulation methods, and determined that the growth of these domains is given by a power law for systems near to their critical temperature, while for deeper quenches it proceeds by a short times which crosses over to a slower growth when the plugshaped domains are large enough to completely block the pore.

Dynamics of supercooled liquids confined to the pores of sol-gel glass: A dynamic light scattering study
TL;DR: Dynamics of low molecular weight and polymeric glass forming liquids in confined geometries has been studied by means of depolarized dynamic light scattering: photon correlation spectroscopy and Fabry-Perot interferometry and a master curve was obtained for all pore sizes and the bulk material.

Location of phase equilibria by temperature-quench molecular dynamics simulations
Lev D. Gelb,Erich A. Müller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method to locate phase coexistence points using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is presented. But the method is limited to single component and binary Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluids and cannot be used to locate vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid or solid-fluid equilibria.

The formation of low-dimensional ionic crystallites in carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, computer simulation models were constructed and applied to understand the low-dimensional crystallites formed in carbon nanotubes when filled with liquid KI, and the precise atomistic region of the specific distortions observed experimentally were determined.

Inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the dynamics of a glass-forming material in mesoscopic confinement
TL;DR: In this paper, the microscopic dynamics of a glass-forming liquid (salol) confined in microporous silica glass (Gelsil) obtained by inelastic neutron scattering were investigated.
