Projects

In situ TEM study of branched nanocrystal growth mechanism

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Dongsheng Li
The long-term goal of this project is to understand the growth of complex crystalline structures by aggregation and oriented attachment (OA) of primary nanoparticles. The formation of materials…

Building a Predictive Understanding of Particle-Based Mineral Growth

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James De Yoreo
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Traditional models of mineral formation through monomer-by-monomer addition have been challenged by recent evidence for crystallization through the addition of "particles," ranging from…

Probing Iron Oxide Mineral Aggregation Behavior with Soil Organic Matters

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Xin Zhang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The goal of this project is to develop a fundamental understanding of iron oxide nanoparticle (NPs) aggregation mechanisms with soil organic matters (SOM). Heteroaggregation is a ubiquitous but…
