Understanding coupled chemical-mechanical behaviors in minerals

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Xin Zhang
Project type
Contracted Time
This proposal aims to develop a comprehensive, unified understanding of how applied stress and interfacial chemistry couple to define mineral nanoparticle dissolution, recrystallization, and…

Ion-beam-induced defect formation in oxide thin films

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steven Spurgeon
This project aims to study ion-beam irradiation-induced defects in oxide and semiconductor systems. It is challenging to predict the defects that will form under different irradiation conditions in…

Mechanisms of Fe(II)-Catalyzed Transformation of Fe(III)-(Oxyhydr)oxides

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Kevin Rosso
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Interaction of aqueous Fe(II) with major Fe(III)-oxides and oxyhydroxides yields the enigmatic catalytically reactive "sorbed Fe(II)" species and apparent facile recrystallization of even…

Ion-beam-induced defect formation in heterostructured interfaces

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steven Spurgeon
This project aims to expand our investigation of defects induced by ion-beam irradiation in oxide and semiconductor systems. We build on our prior existing EMSL proposals, which resulted in multiple…
