Freeze-thaw damage is a major deterioration mechanism for cementitious materials
exposed to cyclic freezing and thawing temperatures. The formation and growth of ice …

Clathrate hydrates are compounds where guest molecules are trapped in cages formed
between water molecules via hydrogen bonding. They have many promising applications …

Using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with all-atom potentials, we
investigate the mechanical properties of ice Ih by observing in detail the deformation …

Using atomistic simulation techniques, which can be considered as a method of"
computational microscopy in situ", we study the mechanical properties of ice Ih by observing …

Considering ice-premelting on a quartz rock surface (ie silica) we calculate the Lifshitz
excess pressures in a four layer system with rock-ice-water-air. Our calculations give excess …

Ice and gas hydrates form at similar conditions with implications for many natural
phenomena and technological applications. On the one hand, ice formation and …
