The Nonequilibrium Crystallization Force
Luca Gagliardi, Olivier Pierre-Louis
The forces exerted by growing crystals on the surrounding materials play a major role in many geological processes, from diagenetic replacement to rock weathering and uplifting of…
Confined Growth with slow surface kinetics: a Thin Film Model approach
Luca Gagliardi, Olivier Pierre-Louis
Recent experimental and theoretical investigations of crystal growth from solution in the vicinity of an impermeable wall have shown that: (i) growth can be maintained within the c…
Crystal growth in nano-confinement: Subcritical cavity formation and viscosity effects
Luca Gagliardi, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We report on the modeling of the formation of a cavity at the surface of crystals confined by a flat wall during growth in solution. Using a continuum thin film model, we discuss t…
Cavity formation in confined growing crystals
Felix Kohler, Luca Gagliardi, Olivier Pierre-Louis +1
Growing crystals form a cavity when placed against a wall. The birth of the cavity is observed both by optical microscopy of sodium chlorate crystals (NaClO) growing in the vic…
Thin film modeling of crystal dissolution and growth in confinement
Luca Gagliardi, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We present a continuum model describing dissolution and growth of a crystal contact confined against a substrate. Diffusion and hydrodynamics in the liquid film separating the crys…
