Brownian dynamics study of the self-assembly of ligated gold nanoparticles and other colloidal systems
… gives a relatively shallower well depth and the clusters formed after a temperature quench are compact in morphology. Simulation results for the kinetics of cluster growth in this case are compared with phase separations in binary mixtures. For decanethiol ligated nanoparticles, the model well …

Contemporary Problems in Aerosol Aggregation and Gelation
Aggregation of nanoparticles in aerosols is a fundamental phenomenon with important implications to diverse fields ranging from material synthesis to pollutant control. The past few decades have witnessed extensive research on investigating the structure and growth mechanism of aerosol aggregates …

Implications of Oxidation on the Colloidal Stability of Magnetite Nanoparticles and Cluster
… of the nanoparticles to aggregate and form clusters. To characterize the factors responsible for this aggregation behavior, we determined the magnetic properties of magnetite using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQuID). Importantly, because magnetite readily reacts with O2 to …

Stability and Morphological Evolution in Polymer/Nanoparticle Bilayers and Blends Confined to Thin Film Geometries
… ~2.2 suggesting fractal pattern formation via cluster-cluster aggregation. Dewetting in PS/TPP bilayers also proceeds via a two-step process; however, the observed dewetting morphologies are dramatically different from those observed in PtBA/TPP bilayers. Cracks immediately form in the upper …
