A finite-temperature density functional approach to describe the properties of parahydrogen in the liquid-vapor coexistence region is presented. The first proposed functional is zero-range, where the density-gradient term is adjusted so as to reproduce the surface tension of the liquid-vapor interface at low temperature. The second functional is finite-range and, while it is fitted to reproduce bulk pH2 properties only, it is shown to yield surface properties in good agreement with experiments. These functionals are used to study the surface thickness of the liquid-vapor interface, the wetting transition of parahydrogen on a planar Rb model surface, and homogeneous cavitation in bulk liquid pH2.

Liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in supercooled water has been a long-standing controversial issue. We show simulation results of real stable first-order phase transitions between high and low density liquid (HDL and LDL)-like structures in conf
ined supercooled water in both positive and negative pressures. These topological phase transitions originate from H-bond network ordering in molecular rotational mode after molecular exchanges are frozen. It is explained by the order parameter-dependent free energy change upon mixing liquid-like and ice-like moieties of H-bond orientations which is governed by their two- to many-body interactions. This unexplored purely H-bond orientation-driven topological phase gives mid-density and stable intermediate mixed-phase with high and low density structures. The phase diagram of supercooled water demonstrate the second and third critical points of water.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the incorrect application of the divergence theorem to Eqs 7, 8 and 9.
We consider a free energy functional on the monomer density function that is suitable for the study of coil-globule transition. We demonstrate, with explicitly stated assumptions, why the entropic contribution is in the form of the Kullback-Leibler d
istance, and that the energy contribution is given by two-body and three-body terms. We then solve for the free energy analytically on a set of trial density functions, and reproduce de Gennes classical theory on polymer coil-globule transition. We then discuss how our formalism can be applied to study polymer dynamics from the perspective of dynamical density function theory.
Longitudinal and transverse sound velocities of Lennard-Jones systems are calculated at the liquid-solid coexistence using the additivity principle. The results are shown to agree well with the ``exact values obtained from their relations to excess e
nergy and pressure. Some consequences, in particular, in the context of the Lindemanns melting rule and Stokes-Einstein relation between the self-diffusion and viscosity coefficients are discussed. Comparison with available experimental data on the sound velocities of solid argon at melting conditions is provided.
We have explored a model for adsorption of water into slit-like nanochannels with two walls chemically modified by grafted polymer layers forming brushes. A version of density functional method is used as theoretical tools. The water-like fluid model
adopted from the work of Clark et al. [Mol. Phys., 2006, 104, 3561] adequately reproduces the bulk vapour-liquid coexistence envelope. The polymer layer consists of chain molecules in the framework of pearl-necklace model. Each chain molecule is chemically bonded to the pore walls by a single terminating segment. Our principal focus is in the study of the dependence of polymer layer height on grafting density and in the microscopic structure of the interface between adsorbed fluid and brushes. Thermal response of these properties upon adsorption is investigated in detail. The results are of importance to understand shrinking and swelling of the molecular brushes in the nanochannels.
