| • Computational Material Science :
Atomistic scale simulation techniques (Monte-Carlo and Molecular Dynamics) in various statistical mechanics ensembles in Condensed Matter Physics
• Thermodynamics of confined molecular (rare gases, hydrogen, ... and gas mixture) and covalent fluids (carbon) in porous materials (zeolites, microporous carbons, mesoporous SBA-15 materials) using atomistic simulation techniques (Grand Canonical Monte-Carlo).
• Systems studied :
Interfacial Metal/Oxyde Pd/MgO(001) : the role of defects (dislocations) in interface stability
Undercooled liquid transition Metals (Ni, Au, Pd, Cu) : the possibility of an icosahedral short range order in the liquid phases
Thermodynamics of confined fluids : thermodynamic, mechanical and hydrogen adsorption properties of microporous carbon materials (and their Li-doped version) cast from zeolite porosity (AlPO4-5, Silicalite, Faujasite, EMT)
Molecular Sieving in Microporous Carbon : adsorption properties of gas mixtures of ordered (templated) and disordered (activated) microporous carbon materials
Adsorption properties and diffusion mechanism of simple fluid (Ar, Ne …) in Single Wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) : Crossover from Single -File to Fickian Diffusion of fluids in Carbon Nanotubes (Nanotubes – col. J.D.Moore Dr.Lucy Liu) and Dynamical Enantio-Selectivity (CHFClBr) in chiral nanotubes
Modelling Mesoporous Silica (SBA-15) and Organo-Silica. |
