Solvent Fluctuations Enable Photoionization of Aqueous Nitrite Microdroplets
Brandon J. Wallace, Eric R. Heller, Alex Prophet +4
Nitrite photochemistry in atmospheric aerosols and natural waters is a major source of hydroxyl radicals and reactive nitrogen oxides. Contrary to the prevailing view that in the e…
Elucidating the mechanism of helium evaporation from liquid water
Kritanjan Polley, Kevin R. Wilson, David T. Limmer
We investigate the evaporation of trace amounts of helium solvated in liquid water using molecular dynamics simulations and theory. Consistent with experimental observations, we fi…
Direct Observation of Morphological and Chemical Changes During the Oxidation of Model Inorganic Ligand-Capped Particles
Maximilian Jaugstetter, Xiao Qi, Emory Chan +4
Functionalization and volatilization are competing reactions during the oxidation of carbonaceous materials and are important processes in many different areas of science and techn…
High-precision chemical quantum sensing in flowing monodisperse microdroplets
Adrisha Sarkar, Zachary Jones, Madhur Parashar +14
We report on a novel flow-based method for high-precision chemical detection that integrates quantum sensing with droplet microfluidics. We deploy nanodiamond particles hosting flu…
On the Statistical Mechanics of Mass Accommodation at Liquid-Vapor Interfaces
Kritanjan Polley, Kevin R. Wilson, David T. Limmer
We propose a framework for describing the dynamics associated with the adsorption of small molecules to liquid-vapor interfaces, using an intermediate resolution between traditiona…
