The First Direct Detection of Kirkwood Transitions in Concentrated Aqueous Electrolytes using Small Angle X-ray Scattering

Mohammadhasan Dinpajooh, Elisa Biasin, Christopher J. Mundy +6

Ion-ion correlations, screening, and equilibrium bulk structure in various concentrated electrolytes are investigated using synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), theory,…

A classical reactive potential for molecular clusters of sulphuric acid and water

Jake L. Stinson, Shawn M. Kathmann, Ian J. Ford

We present a two-state empirical valence bond (EVB) potential describing interactions between sulphuric acid and water molecules and designed to model proton transfer between them…

Molecular simulations of heterogeneous ice nucleation. II. Peeling back the layers

Stephen J. Cox, Shawn M. Kathmann, Ben Slater +1

Coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations are presented in which the sensitivity of the ice nucleation rate to the hydrophilicity of a graphene nanoflake is investigated. We fi…

Molecular simulations of heterogeneous ice nucleation. I. Controlling ice nucleation through surface hydrophilicity

Stephen J. Cox, Shawn M. Kathmann, Ben Slater +1

Ice formation is one of the most common and important processes on earth and almost always occurs at the surface of a material. A basic understanding of how the physicochemical pro…

The Microscopic Features of Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation May Affect the Macroscopic Morphology of Atmospheric Ice Crystals

Stephen J. Cox, Zamaan Raza, Shawn M. Kathmann +2

It is surprisingly difficult to freeze water. Almost all ice that forms under "mild" conditions (temperatures > -40 degrees Celsius) requires the presence of a nucleating agent - a…

Investigating the significance of zero-point motion in small molecular clusters of sulphuric acid and water

Jake Stinson, Shawn Kathmann, Ian Ford

The nucleation of particles from trace gases in the atmosphere is an important source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and these are vital for the formation of clouds in view of…
