Nanojets: Electrification, Energetics, Dynamics, Stability and Breakup

Abstract

The research during this 6 month grant was devoted to finalizing our work on the effect of electric fields on dielectric nanodroplets, as may be found during the breakup of electrified nanojets and colloidal thrusters. In our extensive molecular dynamics simulation, preformed for a 10nm droplet made of formamide molecules, the response of the nano-droplet to uniform electric fields was explored.
