• Mechanical instability of monocrystalline and polycrystalline methane hydrates 

      Wu, Jianyang; Ning, Fulong; Trinh, Thuat; Kjelstrup, Signe; Vlugt, Thijs J.H.; He, Jianying; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Despite observations of massive methane release and geohazards associated with gas hydrate instability in nature, as well as ductile flow accompanying hydrate dissociation in artificial polycrystalline methane hydrates ...
    • Phonon thermal transport in copper: the effect of size, crystal orientation and grain boundaries 

      Sæther, Sandra; Merete Falck, Erichsen; Xiao, Senbo; Zhang, Zhiliang; Lervik, Anders; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In electronic devices at the micro- and nanoscale, thermal management is vital. At such small sizes, crystal orientation, grain boundaries, and even the size itself can play an important role in the thermal transport and ...
    • Self-deicing Electrolyte Hydrogel Surfaces with Pa-level Ice Adhesion and Durable Anti-freezing/frost Performance 

      Li, Tong; Ibáñez-Ibáñez, pablo; Håkonsen, Verner; Wu, Jianyang; Xu, Ke; Zhuo, Yizhi; Luo, Sihai; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Despite the remarkable advances in mitigating ice formation and accretion, however, no engineered anti-icing surfaces today can durably prevent frost formation, droplet freezing and ice accretion in an economical and ...
    • Surface Wrinkling with Memory for Programming Adhesion and Wettability 

      Wang, Feng; Xiao, Senbo; Luo, Sihai; Fu, Yuequn; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge; Kristiansen, Helge; cui, mengkui; zhong, chao; Liu, Siqi; Zhuo, Yizhi; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Modulating surface wrinkling is important for a variety of engineering applications. It has been known for more than two decades that the wavelength of surface wrinkles occurring in a metal film–soft polymer system scales ...
    • Thermal transport in polyethylene: The effect of force fields and crystallinity 

      Sæther, Sandra; Erichsen, Merete Falck; Zhang, Zhiliang; Lervik, Anders; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this article, we study the local structure and heat transfer properties (thermal conductivity and interfacial conductance) in model semi-crystalline Polyethylene (PE) by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics. We compare ...
    • Thickness Mediated Morphology Evolution in Sub-10-nm Metal Film Deposition: Implications for Non-destructive Testing 

      Wang, Feng; Fu, Yuequn; Xiao, Senbo; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge; Liu, Siqi; Luo, Sihai; Kristiansen, Helge; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Thickness in sub-10-nm metal film deposition is a seldomly explored parameter that can influence not only the film mechanical properties but also the surface functional characteristics. In this study, we designed bilayer ...
    • Ultra-robust icephobic coatings with high toughness, strong substrate adhesion and self-healing capability 

      Zhuo, Yizhi; Håkonsen, Verner; Liu, Siqi; Li, Tong; Wang, Feng; Luo, Sihai; Xiao, Senbo; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Enabling surfaces with passive anti-icing properties is an emerging, facile, economical, and energy-saving strategy to mitigate the harm caused by ice accretion. However, the combination of icephobicity and robustness still ...
