In situ study of Crystal Surface Interactions Guided by Biomolecules or Ligands

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1987565· OSTI ID:1987565
Ligands or biomolecules commonly exist and play a key role in particle-mediated materials growth, leading to a wide variety of structures. However, it is not fully understood how these organic molecules control forces interacting between particles and thus the dynamics of particle assembly. Herein, the overall goal of this project is to gain an understanding of the role of surface-coating materials (ligands and biomolecules) in particle assembly processes; that is, how surface-coating materials determine the interfacial structures of solvent/ligand (biomolecule)/crystal surface and thus the interaction forces.
