Atomic simulation shows a stagewise Oswald Ripening with changing rate-determining step. In the ripening, the particles exchange dimers among each other instead of monomers.

AbstractFixed nitrogen in illite-smectites (I-S) has been measured for Miocene shales from a Gulf of Mexico oil well. Fixed N values for the <0.2 µm fraction increase with depth from 150 ppm (1000 m) to a maximum of 360 ppm (3841 m). This increase is coincident with illitization from 41% I in I-S to 75% I in I-S. Below 3841 m, fixed N values decrease to 190 ppm (4116 m) while I-S is maintained with a slight increase from 77 to 82%. The changes in fixed N with increasing illitization are consistent with the notion that illitization proceeds via both transformation and dissolution/ precipitation reaction mechanisms. The trend of decreasing fixed N in illitic I-S is compatible with surface-controlled crystal growth and Ostwald ripening mechanisms for illitization. The trend may also be linked to the timing of maximum NH] release from kerogen maturation during oil generation. The changing rate of NH+4 liberation from organic matter and multiple illitization reaction mechanisms can result in complex N geochemical cycling pathways throughout early diagenesis to metamorphism.

We report the migration and segregation behaviors of Au atoms in solution during real time, by exploiting a charging effect in a dilute HAuCl4 water solution under electron irradiation, to allow the growth kinetics of Au nanoparticles to be successfully controlled.

Abstract Application of different light-sensitive drug delivery carriers is limited due to a risk of overheating of living cells. Therefore, a real-time temperature monitoring within biological objects that controls the photothermal release of different cargos from light-sensitive carriers is highly demanded. In this work, we develop a multifunctional platform comprised of polymer microcapsules modified with nitrogen vacancies (NV) centers as nanothermometers and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) as heating elements for the realization of laser-induced cargo release with a simultaneous temperature measurement inside cells. Such platform allows to prevent unwanted side effects related with the overheating of living cells and tissues.

We show that phenynyl ligand could readily bind to colloidal Au nanoparticles. By real-time monitoring the SERS during ligand exchange, the relative strength of phenynyls, thiols and PVP ligands, and different phenynyls were successfully ranked.
