Title: Direction-specific interaction forces underlying zinc oxide crystal growth by oriented attachment

Abstract

Here, crystallization by particle attachment is impacting our understanding of natural mineralization processes and holds promise for novel materials design. When particles assemble in crystallographic registry, expulsion of the intervening solvent and particle coalescence is enabled by near-perfect co-alignment via interparticle forces that remain poorly quantified. Here we report measurement and simulation of these nanoscale aligning forces for the ZnO(0001)-ZnO(000¯1) system in aqueous solution. Dynamic force spectroscopy using nanoengineered single crystal probes reveals an attractive force with 60o rotational periodicity. Calculated distance and orientation-dependent potentials of mean force show several attractive free energy wells distinguished by numbers of intervening water layers, which reach a minimum when aligned. The calculated activation energy to separate the attractively bound solvated interfaces perfectly reproduces the measured 60o periodicity, revealing the key role of intervening water structuring as a basis to generate the interparticle torque that completes alignment and enables coalescence.

Connecting energetics to dynamics in particle growth by oriented attachment using real-time observations

Journal Article Liu, Lili ; Nakouzi, Elias ; Sushko, Maria L. ; ... - Nature Communications

The interplay between crystal and solvent structure, interparticle forces and ensemble particle response dynamics governs the process of crystallization by oriented attachment (OA), yet a quantitative understanding is lacking. Using as a model system ZnO, we combine in situ TEM observations of single particle and ensemble assembly dynamics with simulations of interparticle forces and responses to relate experimentally derived interparticle potentials to the underlying interactions. We show that OA is driven by forces and torques due to a combination of electrostatic ion-solvent correlations and dipolar interactions that act at separations well beyond 5 nm. Importantly, coalignment is achieved before particlesmore »« less

The origin of facet selectivity and alignment in anatase TiO ₂ nanoparticles in electrolyte solutions: implications for oriented attachment in metal oxides

Journal Article Sushko, M. L. ; Rosso, K. M. - Nanoscale

Atomic-to-mesoscale simulations were used to reveal the origin of oriented attachment between anatase TiO2 nanoparticles in aqueous HCl solutions. Analysis of the distance and pH dependence of interparticle interactions demonstrates that ion correlation forces are responsible for facet-specific attraction and rotation into lattice co-alignment at long-range. These forces give rise to a metastable solvent separated capture minimum on the disjoining pressure-distance curve, with the barrier to attachment largely due to steric hydration forces from structured intervening solvent.

Zinc oxide nanolevel surface transformation for liquid crystal orientation by ion bombardment

Journal Article Oh, Byeong-Yun ; Lee, Won-Kyu ; Kim, Young-Hwan ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

This paper introduces the characteristics of the zinc oxide (ZnO) inorganic film deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering as an alternative alignment layer for liquid crystal display (LCD) applications. The crystalline structure related to the texture formation of ZnO (1013) was observed with a tilt angle of approximately 28.1 deg. to the ZnO (0001) plane, leading to a smooth surface and high-density structure. Ion beam (IB) bombardment at various incident angles was used to induce liquid crystal (LC) alignment and cause the measured pretilt angle on ZnO films to assume a triangular contour. The orientation order of liquid crystal molecules wasmore »« less

Trends in mica–mica adhesion reflect the influence of molecular details on long-range dispersion forces underlying aggregation and coalignment

Journal Article Li, Dongsheng ; Chun, Jaehun ; Xiao, Dongdong ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Here, oriented attachment of nanocrystalline subunits is recognized as a common crystallization pathway that is closely related to formation of nanoparticle superlattices, mesocrystals, and other kinetically stabilized structures. Approaching particles have been observed to rotate to achieve co-alignment while separated by nanometer-scale solvent layers. Little is known about the forces that drive co-alignment, particularly in this “solvent-separated” regime. To obtain a mechanistic understanding of this process, we used atomic force microscopy-based dynamic force spectroscopy with tips fabricated from oriented mica to measure the adhesion forces between mica (001) surfaces in electrolyte solutions as a function of orientation, temperature, electrolyte type,more »« less

Effect of Hydrophilicity and Interfacial Water Structure on Particle Attachment

Journal Article Kerisit, Sebastien N. ; De Yoreo, James J. - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Oriented attachment (OA) of nanoparticles is an important and common crystallization pathway. Efforts to isolate and quantify the interparticle forces that underlie OA have only recently been initiated and the role played by the interfacial solvent structure in the confined region between nanocrystal surfaces in enabling and controlling OA remains an open question. In this work, classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to compute the free energy landscape of nanoparticles approaching mineral substrates in both vacuum and pure water. Periclase (MgO), muscovite (KAl₃Si₃O₁₀(OH)₂), and pyrophyllite (Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂) nanoparticles exposing the (100), (001), and (001) surfaces, respectively, were brought to contactmore »« less
