So our first speaker today is usually thank you say what you graduate student in materials science engineering which is co advised by Haskell back on the executive I hear she did her undergraduate work on logical materials engineering at this temple Technical University and she has a master's degree in mechanical engineering engineering processes from southern Illinois. Today she's going to tell us about. It. Thank you very much for the introduction. Today the title of my presentation is the formation and growth make in museums of single mold metal oxide not to use single gold metal oxide the tubes have emerged as an important colossal fielding block materials for the technological applications. There are only a few examples of single woman to look side not to say these are I mean those to me Kate. I mean a German they'd and many of Denmark side the tubes. Today the presentation focuses on. I mean I see a kid on a tube. These on the troops have an outside by a meter that this poor point told on the meter and you know diameter off that is one millimeter and they're all lengths are ALL hundred millimeter. And not too. Well has a building in it that is composed. I mean hydroxide shell with it in there so they can touch the heads of it touched with we have three oxygen bridges. And these materials Oprah's ever write off compositions and also by mentions For example you can replace the just silicone Ted's red room with the drawer man in the header and you say are you going to germinate in the tubes. We tried to create in diameter and all so much shorter. So you know today about the farm pro city with tunable composition and by man. And the existence of chemical in more than five in there and how they're hydroxyl groups makes them. Makes these materials at truck your candidates for the fabrication of their wife's us for catalysts a sensing and more nickel or separations and also high flux on the fluid membranes actually our world has made a great deal of progress in their applications and a molecular separation. Of papers can be fallen from our group members. And for more information about the subject and all for interesting property interesting applications are also feasible such as use them as an insulating sheet in Karbala based cables. I mean honestly getting on the tubes are synthesised. By low temperature synthesis procedures from mild echoes Majlis of the a coup solutions of inexpensive reactance in the first stage of the reaction. The reactance are ed that these are the main intersect with oxide and that's where it's all to silicate solutions the hydrochloric said and in the first stage the solution is aged four eighteen hours. And in the next stage. The solution temperature is increased one of three of starts to form and grow and this reaction lasts for four days and at the end of the pool for day fourth day the pure form can be opened by simply dial izing the sound of socials and a subsequent freeze drying. So the main objective of our research is to gain the cap ability to engineer composed by mentions and structures are going to score because objects. For example can be achieved an extreme level control over the diameters of the two. And we believe this. Could only be achieved through the discovery of the missing wing which are the generalizable design rules between the starting reactance and final moments of material. We have chosen in the slick in the tubes as an example or material because they are sent to says cure slowly on a time scale of hours days a lowing the to study their formation and world making museums. For those threes them. We employed in a number of techniques including. That nuclear magnetic rose almost spectroscopy and across Britain as they should must spectrometry to update information at molecular level. So with these techniques we identified the chemical composition of nano scale predator surface and wants to identify their structures. We performed. Thus it's a functional terror simulations to obtain the final journal my three final one. The clerk on for Gratian off the on the scale quicker service and to obtain that information at larger scales the employed electron microscope the techniques Y. electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. So here are the key results so electro suppression as they should miss Spectrometer is a very powerful technique that can direct identify the chemical composition of species in synthesis tool lotions and hear them. In the silicates appreciation in during the aging stage at room temperature is studied from the mess spectral that this Kollek took and all off the old edition of the reactance at room temperature and the identification of the moniker compositions from the mess Specter is performed based on the mess to charge ratio. I looked up be gracious. And also wall there peak Sirius. These are the peaks that. Are Belong to the same one it kewl with what Walter molecule LIVE FROM So for example if the separation is eighteen months unit defrost it means singly charged if it's not if it means double the charge for these type of identification principles a low dose to assign a chemical composition for the detected species. So here you see the list of identified in the secret complex us. And these are ranging in different sizes ranging from containing a single element in about some up to thirteen. I mean at times. And they have different and model silicon and percolate attachment. So this study also reveals the possible complex ation of the solution and ion in this case is the percolate with the other main implicate complexes. Here are the key examples of these species and these are basically can be explained all of these are it can be explained with the same basic structural unit and compositions as the final on the tree of material. And then be performed Solway to pass it to functional Terra calculations it reveal that do these make these scale materials have and interests occur which are very similar to the final moment of material. This is all like the pure illuminates which are shown to have planned their low minimum energy configurations. So we just stayed at touch of silicone is a result in the curvature formation. A whilst we heat the solution temperatures large species that have that interesting curvature disappears from the mess backdrop and leaving only a small and medium sized. Complex as the tech bubble. And also to gather with that we observe the. Upper a P. H. The K. immediately after the heating of the solutions from ninety five degrees C. This is an indication of a condensation reaction leading tool releases of protons so with with these results we can say. The nano scale almost kill. Complexes that has that interest occur which are condo's upon heating the synthesis solo shows to mine to five degrees. At together with MUST spectrometer studies. We also employed the liquid state and them are and here are the spectra Kollek the aluminum liquid and the more spectra collected as a functional aging and heating times. This study revealed the existence of three different species instance of societal oceans one of them is the keg and complex. This is an aluminum thirteen unit with a cylindrical tend to head in the middle and also it reveals the existence of species in not too black configurations. Much longer much before the formation of the known the troops. Also there are more open had recorded native mall numbers. So all of these spectra collected and the book and the change in the chemical and wireman around these species are tracked by tracking the change in the chemical shift line with an integrated areas of each peak. And here are the results. So during the ancient stage eighteen hours of aging stage. The Kegan molecule a model concentration and also the speed on the tube like species is increased at the expense of small numbers which it might be an indication of and a Calabrian established between these three species and together with that. Also in this stage the non-acute like molecules experienced a significant. Chemical or drink how they were around that increases the temperature. We didn't open any change either in the chemical shade or in the. Structure or the ration of the black precursors indicating these are the molecules formed from already formed procure Thursday during the aging States. So based upon the results of extensive must spectrometry and M R studies. The most Let me demonstrate a new moniker that will make a museum of single woman to look side Nona to hear in the aging stage there is a dynamic equilibrium a stablished between the small medium and large sized I mean a slick eight complexes and run the set a synthesis of the temperature of the sort of synthesis solutions is increased. The large complex as with the interests of curvature. To rearrange to form the materials and further information can be formed in our paper. So now we know that none of to form from curved on the scale intermediates and so all the hype with this says is there is a relationship between the pressure sir curvature and finally on the tip material. So the question can we control them on the tube. I am meters by controlling the curvature of the precursors. And in the next part of the toll. I'll show that blinding and ions such as chloride Perkel arrayed and as the tape can induce changes to the curvature of the precursors and monotube different by meters can be obtained. And not any ions are released during the formation leaving the monotube structure unaffected. Are in experimental studies to quote from that hypothesis. For example Xsara. The patterns of not of troops Kollek good as the puncture not different assets show that. The specter experienced a shift. In the next artist pattern is all pain from the scattering of the monotube those that are in hexagonal and when the playing at the same on the clinic home for gracious and Pete peoples issue is directly related with the external diary to opt not to and from this results. One can conclude that the largest fire meter of monitors are all taking Bundy use hydrochloric acid. And the smallest diameters are a pain round they use a CITIC a set and these results are all full supported by our nitrogen presumption experiments which are drawn tool observe the change in the poor size of the monitor of synthesize in the presence of different and ions more aware are in them are studies on the freeze dried and then the Through of sample strolled out there is no structural changes induced because of different and ions that are used in the Synthesis solutions. OK that X. are the and nitrogen fizzes option study is in the kid that there is a change in the external diameter of the moment tubes. Bugs cry electron microscope clues super reveals the Pinal the not to die meter. So an ever so mean every single two diameters was determined based on the museum's of fifteen on the tubes but I am refreeze anting the I'm giving the representative from micrographs here you can see that when we use hydrochloric acid normal to plan meters to point A and then we use aesthetic sit. We have to point to the meat on the ribs to point to external diameters So in this figure of equal paired the external by a meter. Measured from the electron micrographs called the number of repeating units in the tube circumference. These are opting from the geometry optimized models of these lemma tubes that are in different diameters and from this figure we can conclude that for example when the percolator guess it. We have not tubes with an external diameter of two point eight. That is corresponding to fifteen repeating this in the circle of friends and also boundary use as Atika said we have not tubes with external diameter of it is two point two millimeter with the eleven repeating going as in the circle for us. So this demonstrates an extra extra level control over them no matter diameters. So results in the four results indicate that the multiplier meters are changing but is that because of the curvature of the precursors are changing due to the complex ation of the I do these procedures with and ions so be performed. Again a similar extensive study is to identify them want to kill their structure of the precursors and also perform the if the optimisation studies and to obtain the final geometry of each prickers in different us of the oceans which are complex with different and ions and also quantified this curvature by a circle radius fit the circle radius was fitted to believe the circle radius was fitted by these to coerce atomic order Nates off the I mean atoms that are in along the curvature. And here you see the result actually support the correlate the core of great with the change in the external diameter. And also to understand how the binding both in the eye and chain induced changes in the current which are we replaced. This. Annoying groups with hydroxyl groups and the results show that actually the vine the open and I into up to the nearest to the K. precursors significantly changes that it's curvature. So here I've summarized the true wealth representative precursors opting in them in different acidic solutions of non Tube synthesis and you see the curve of the Procurators are clustered around different measured curvature regions and also along the line which just corresponding to the external by a meter of the monotube measured from electron micrographs So this reveals that there is a correlation between the purser curvature and find the moment your diameter and here by we we're able to demonstrate new molecular level concepts the for constructing those Skopec objects. So industrial scale processing of. In or going to run a tubes requires the development of quantitative models that can explain the formation and growth kinetics here we propose a four step generalized kinetic model that escape able of explaining their formation and world mechanisms here. The with this model we use those the existence of three main known chemical species in synthesis solo shows these are pressure surface amorphous particles and military ops. And another two formation or cures with Tool step in the first step the precursors on the forms almost particles with the rate constant of a want done. None of troops are really erased from amorphous particles with the rate constant of K. to. Wants to rearrangement of is complete the growth is. Permitted and monotube school with to mechanism. Denotative cope with additional pressure sores through the growing them through ants at the rate constant Cait three and also they grow with the edge to edge aggregation mechanism. So based on these proposed reaction steps not the rate equations are written for a better center says reactor. And offer a mathematical model is the OP to explain the evolving the mature lengths as a function of sense assist time. Once the model is double up now we are experimental Montreux Planck distributions from prior Alectryon micrographs Kollek that as a function of synthesis time. And nearly five hundred in the troops are measured and for each airport each synthesis time in to explain it to get their pooled quality of the distributor blank distributions. And also the solutions of the month to month still model. With the non in your list of course fit to minimize the residual error between the experimental assimilate that they tell you stop taking and to minimize the residual error which was approximately around ten percent. So it is you can see that the model is full captures the evolving moment to plant distributions as a function of synthesis time and the OP then the kinetic part of meters here and we can see that for example the. Condensation is much firster than the rearrangement. The arrangement is the rate limiting step in the Synthesis. So the model is able to explain that holding the actors through. So while what it. What is it. Cannot predict predict and on a trip like this three missions run we change direction conditions. Yes or in this case we changed to react. We changed the. Precursor we changed the precursor to trace the increase and decrease it by fifty percent and our model was able to predict more mature plant distributions and of course the mean I would not your plants here you see when they include with degrees the concentration of the initial pressure through as we get over to the troops. It's because of the one being the Koreas the precursor M.R. we decrease the amount of amorphous particles or in other words the number of nuclear I that is leading to not troops in much longer lengths. So we I would like to thank my advisers and my board members and all thought acknowledge the supporter of this project in the south and also thank my collaborators and thank you for coming to this presentation. From what. War and longer of one way or. Much from the whys of your. Changes on the war its its first in the initial reaction was and then slows down. The boys say. Yes So basically the reason why the lands are increased so you have decreased the amount of nuclear. I that is growing to larger lengths. So there is a cliff you have less nuclei and then the growth growth will cure from this less amount of nuclei saw it will go to larger Lance. That is clean and still expect you to smoke. More or less.
