Time‐dependent density functional study for nanodroplet coalescence

Abstract: The coalescence of nanodroplets is an important interfacial phenomenon and is the key to many real-world applications. However, the microscopic mechanism for this process remains unclear. In this work, we propose a time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to understand and predict this process. The formation of a "peanut" nanodroplet seems key to the coalescence process, before and after which the system is dominated by a nucleation mechanism and an ordinary diffusion mechanism, respectively. It appear… Show more

“…[458] for a review). It allows for a description of various important effects, such as contact angle hysteresis, capillary-driven motion [507], wetting of confined colloidal fluids [272], and nanodroplet coalescence [198]. Interesting insights into wetting behavior can already be gained using static DFT [914][915][916][917][918][919][920][921][922][923].…”
