Mikhailovsky, A.,Xu, S., Hollingswork, J., Malko, A., Bawendi, M., Eiser, H-J., Leatherhead, C.A. • Science 290,314 (2000) • Science 287,1011 (2000)

  21. Fullerene Synthesis Not Predicted By Theory!

  22. Nanoparticle Synthesis = Nucleation • Classical Nucleation Theory vs New Theory • Binding Energy per Li atom Kouteckky, J. and Fantucci, P., Chem. Rev., 86,539-87(1986). G(i) = - i kBT lnS + g ba ao2i2/3

  23. Population Balances • Classical Nucleation = Single Atom Addition • lij=(i+j), • Population Balance - Multi-atom Addition • lij=(i+j)exp(-DGij/kBT),

  24. Quantum Mech. Classical

  25. Population Comparison

  26. New Theory of Nucleation • Overcomes Limitations of Classical Nucleation Theory • Multi-atom addition • Free Energy driving force for Diffusion and Addition • Predicts Transients for Cluster Concentration of Each Size • Qualitative similar to Si Plasma Expts

  27. Collision Energetics

  28. Crystalloluminesent Spectrum • Intensity vs Energy • Intensity = collisions/per unit time = photons/unit time • Wavelength E = hc/l • Human eye detection @ 3x104photons/cm2/s at λ 510 nm Wavelength(nm) 2480 1240 827 620 496

  29. Similar to Line Spectra

  30. Crystalloluminescence • Term Schoenwald in 1786 • 30 References 1786 and 1957 • “An understanding of crystalloluminescence in not to satisfactory at the present time,” E.N. Harvey 1957 • Examples: NaCl, KCl, NaF, AsCl3, K2SO4, As3O3, Sr(NO3)2,, CoSO4, K2CO3, KHSO3, NaKSO4, NaKCrO4, NaKSeO4, Na2SO4, benzoic acid, and ice, water. • 16 References 1957-1991 (15 Russian+ 1 UK + 1 Italian Review) • “It is not possible to … provide either a unifying physical picture of the microscopic mechanism governing (crystalloluminescence) or a physical rule that allows (identification of) conditions...where the phenomenon is stronger,” Barsanti, M. & Maccarrone,,F., 1991 • 3 References from 1991-2000 (2 India, 1 Russian)

  31. Experimental Observations • Delay time is a function of concentration & mixing • Flashes are Short • < 80 ns • Peak Count rates • ~5-8x105 photons/s • Temporal & Spatial Bunching of Flashes • 340nm<λ<380 nm • Blue White Light Saturated NaCl + Conc. HCl - 120 s observation time Gibbon, M.A., Sopp, H. , Swanson, J., and Walton, A.J., J. Phys. C. 21,1921(1988).

  33. Spectra Has Series of Peaks • Different from • Thermal Luminescence • Photoluminescence • Impurities in Crystal have a Big Effect Spectrum Rabinerson, A.I. Wladimirskaya, M.A., Acta Physicochimica URSS, 10,859(1939)

  34.

  36. Interstellar Dust Clouds - Light from the Fringe - Crystalloluminescence due to Nanocluster Nucleation

  37. Experimental Verification Nanocluster, Ti14C13 with emission peak at 20.1 microns is seen in Egg Nebula by A.G.G.M. Thielens and M.A. Duncan Science 288,313(2000) this joins some 120 other small molecules identified in the vicinity of stars, interstellar gas and dust clouds

  38. Super Novae

  39. Deep Sea Vents National Geographic October 2000 C&E News 12/21/98

  40. Deep Sea Life Salt Lake Tribune, 2/13/97 National Geographic October 2000

  41. Deep Sea Vents • Deep Sea Vents Spew Solublized Salts into the cold sea, causing Precipitation & Crystalloluminescence • In the Deep Ocean, Deep Sea Vents are the only source of Chemical Energy and Food • Mobile Animals need to be able to locate these Vents to eat - so they need eyes!! EAT AT JOE’S

  42. Once in a while you get shown the light…..In the strangest places but only if you look at it right.

  43. Clock Reaction • The first step in this reaction is the formation of triiodide ion: • H2O2 + 3 I- + 2 H+ --> I3- + 2 HO • In the absence of thiosulfate ion the triiodide ion would form the characteristic blue complex with starch. However, the triiodide ion is rapidly reduced back to iodide ion by thiosulfate: • I3- + 2 S2O32- --> 3 I- + S4O62- • In this clock reaction thiosulfate ion is the limiting reactant. The blue starch-triiodide complex forms only when all the thiosulfate ion has been consumed.

  44. IO3- + 2 H2O2 + H+ = HOI + 2 O2 + 2 H2O (A) HOI + CH2(CO2H)2 = ICH(CO2H)2 + H2O (B)
