Adsorption at Nanoconfined Solid-Water Interfaces
Anastasia G. Ilgen, Kevin Leung, Louise J. Criscenti +1
Reactions at solid-water interfaces play a foundational role in water treatment systems, catalysis, chemical separations, and in predicting chemical fate and transport in the envir…
Interplay of Physically Different Properties Leading to Challenges in Separating Lanthanide Cations -- an Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics and Experimental Study
Kevin Leung, Anastasia G. Ilgen, Louise J. Criscenti
The lanthanide elements have well-documented similarities in their chemical behavior, which makes the valuable trivalent lanthanide cations (Ln(III)) particularly difficult to sepa…
Concerted Metal Cation Desorption and Proton Transfer on Deprotonated Silica Surfaces
Kevin Leung, Louise J. Criscenti, Andrew W. Knight +3
The adsorption equilibrium constants of monovalent and divalent cations to material surfaces in aqueous media are central to many technological, natural, and geochemical processes.…
Atomic-scale interaction of a crack and an infiltrating fluid
R. E. Jones, W. C. Tucker, J. M. Rimsza +1
In this work we investigate the Orowan hypothesis, that decreases in surface energy due to surface adsorbates lead directly to lowered fracture toughness, at an atomic/molecular le…
Elucidating the Bimodal Acid-base Behavior of the Water-silica Interface from First Principles
Kevin Leung, Ida M. B. Nielsen, Louise J. Criscenti
Understanding the acid-base behavior of silica surfaces is critical for many nanoscience and bio-nano interface applications. Silanol groups (SiOH) on silica surfaces exhibit two a…
