Beyond Poisson-Boltzmann : strong correlations and extreme confinement in ionic fluids
… In this thesis, we study the bulk properties of ionic fluids in two important cases where the "Poisson-Boltzmann" theory fails: extreme confinement and strong ion-ion interactions. We first ask how ions behave when confined to a long and narrow tube. Recent advances in nanofabrication technology …

Ionic liquids derived from nonafluorobutan-1-sulfonyl fluoride
… of thermally stable and remarkably hydrophobic ionic liquids with melting points in the range 0a??40oC and solubilities in water and organic solvents (aromatic hydrocarbons, dialkyl ethers) in the range of 0.5a??1.5 wt%. The ionic liquids can be easily purified from ionic byproducts (e.g., …

A numerical method for electro-kinetic flow with deformable interfaces
We consider two-phase flow of ionic fluids whose motion is driven by an imposed electric field. At a fluid-fluid interface, a screening cloud of ions develops and forms an electro-chemical double layer or 'Debye layer'. The applied electric field acts on the ionic cloud it induces, resulting in a …

Development, Characterization, and Fundamental Studies on Molecular Ionic Composites and PBDT Hydrogels
… a new class of materials termed "molecular ionic composites" (MICs). MICs show promise as next-generation solid electrolytes for batteries. MICs form when mixing a rigid polyanion with purely ionic fluids, and they behave mechanically as a solid but contain a high density of ions that move …

The instanton liquid and the axion
… with the well-known difficulty in simulating ionic fluids, we develop advanced algorithms based on Biased Monte Carlo techniques. We study the IILM at finite temperature in the quenched and unquenched sector, with due diligence to a consistent thermodynamic limit. Of particular interest is …
