Self-Organized Pattern Formation in Geological Soft Matter
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Charles S. Cockell, Lucas Goehring +12
Geological materials are often seen as the antithesis of soft; rocks are hard. However, during the formation of minerals and rocks, all the systems we shall discuss, indeed geologi…
Amorphous nanocrystal deposits for friction and wear reduction at silicon interfaces
Tijn Vernooij, Tunç Ãiftçi, Noushine Shahidzadeh +1
When an object is placed on a surface, friction and wear cause uncertainty in its exact position, and thus challenge precision manufacturing. Here, we explore the development of a…
Controlled Spherulitic Crystal Growth from Salt Mixtures: A Universal Mechanism for Complex Crystal Self-Assembly
Tess Heeremans, Simon Lépinay, Romane Le Dizès Castell +5
Spherulites are complex polycrystalline structures that form through the self-assembly of small aggregated nanocrystals starting from a central point and growing radially outward.…
Water-rich amorphous state from drying mixed-metal sulfate solutions
Christiaan T. van Campenhout, Romane Le Dizès Castell, Tess Heeremans +3
Amorphous and glassy materials are important for many advanced applications, from flexible solar cells to drug delivery systems. To this end, new glasses are in high demand, but pr…
Pore network models for the evaporation of complex fluids in porous media
Romane Le Dizès Castell, Marc Prat, Noushine Shahidzadeh +1
Drying of fluids undergoing sol-gel transition in porous media, a process crucial for the consolidation of damaged porous structures in cultural heritage, often leads to skin forma…
Damage due to Ice Crystallization
Menno Demmenie, Paul Kolpakov, Boaz van Casteren +3
The freezing of water is one of the major causes of mechanical damage in materials during wintertime; surprisingly this happens even in situations where water only partially satura…
