Size-Dependent Growth Rates Amplify Infinitesimal Asymmetry in Nanocrystals

Sam Oaks-Leaf, David T. Limmer

The kinetic Wulff construction predicts symmetric nonequilibrium shapes when crystallographically equivalent facets share a fixed growth rate. However, nanocrystals grow through fi…

Visualizing Millisecond Atomic Dynamics of Nanocrystals in Liquid

Sungsu Kang, Jinho Rhee, Joodeok Kim +11

Atomic structures of nanomaterials are inherently dynamic, continuously reshaped through interactions with chemical species and external stimuli. Such dynamics are further amplifie…

Mechanism of Shape Symmetry Breaking in Surfactant Mediated Crystal Growth

Sam Oaks-Leaf, David T. Limmer

We present a dynamical model of crystal growth, in which it is possible to reliably achieve asymmetric products, beginning from symmetric initial conditions and growing within an i…

Atomic evolution of hydrogen intercalation wave dynamics in palladium nanocrystals

Daewon Lee, Sam Oaks-Leaf, Sophia B. Betzler +8

Solute-intercalation-induced phase separation creates spatial heterogeneities in host materials, a phenomenon ubiquitous in batteries, hydrogen storage, and other energy devices. D…
