Theory of liquids and fluid interfaces
Our research group is working on theoretical studies of liquids and liquid mixtures, fluid interfaces, phase transitions in condensed phases and those at interfaces.
Selected topics are
- Properties of aqueous solutions: hydrophobic effect, effective interaction, ion-specific effect
- Phase transitions and phase equilibria in homegeneous and inhomogeneous liquids
- Phase transitions in ice: plastic ice and ice nanotubes
- Wetting, wetting transition, critical phenomena, surface tension, and line tension
