Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

In this book, the authors use molecular dynamics simulations to conduct a comprehensive study of the compression/superheating limit and phase transition of 2D (monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer) water/ice constrained in graphene nanocapillaries. When subjected to nanoscale confinement and under ultrahigh pressure, water and ice behave quite differently than their bulk counterparts, partly because the van der Waals pressure can spark a water-to-ice transformation, known as the metastability limit of two-dimensional (2D) liquids. From a mechanical standpoint, this liquid-to-solid transformation characterizes the compression limit (or metastability limit) of 2D water. The findings presented here could help us to better understand the phase behavior of 2D confined water/ice.

Dr. YinBo Zhu is an Associate Research Fellow at the University of Science and Technology of China. His research activities chiefly focus on the mechanical behavior and design of micro- and nanostructural materials, two-dimensional water, and mass transfer under nano-confinement. Dr. Zhu completed his B.S. in Engineering Mechanics at North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power in 2013, and completed his Ph.D. (advisor: Prof. HengAn Wu) in Solid Mechanics at the Department of Modern Mechanics, University of Science and Technology of China, in 2017. He was subsequently a Postdoctoral Fellow (under the supervision of Prof. HengAn Wu) at the Department of Modern Mechanics, University of Science and Technology of China, from 2017 to 2019, prior to assuming his current position.
