Multicellular self-assembly on patterned surfaces
… approach to that distribution, however, could be kinetically limited by the inability of the individual cells to sample adjacent areas of the patterned surface. This kinetic limitation was studied on surfaces with increasingly large feature sizes, and found that a simple diffusion model of …

Black carbon mixing state impacts on aerosol activation investigations using particle-resolved model simulations
… in changing Nd. Further, we investigated the kinetic limitation to cloud droplets growth. With the use of the particle-resolved cloud parcel model, the types of kinetic limitation mechanisms affecting individual cloud droplets were revealed. Besides, applying the recently developed concept of …

First principles-based atomistic modeling of the structural properties of silicon-oxide nanomaterials
… thermodynamically with no significant kinetic limitation rather than void-like structure formation, which has widely been adapted to explain the behavior and properties of vacancy defects. Our results also highlight the identification of stable high-symmetry fourfold-coordinated V₁₂ and …

Characterization of a Novel Dynamic Combinatorial Depsipeptide System with Implications for the Origin of Biopolymers
… easily broken in plausibly prebiotic settings, a kinetic limitation that strongly inhibits dynamic sequence space sampling for peptides and proteins even in modern-day laboratory applications. This hardened chemical nature of proteins suggests that although their constituent amino acids may have …

A multiscale study of atomic interactions in the electrochemical double layer applied to electrocatalysis
… significance for accurate prediction of reaction kinetics in electrocatalysis. First, a kinetic model of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on platinum, in connexion with first-principles techniques, is developed to illustrate that a self-consistent description of kinetics and reactant coverages …

Understanding initial capacity loss in substituted layered oxide cathodes for lithium-ion batteries
… attributed to bulk lithium transport limitations arising from three interrelated factors: (1) contraction of the c-axis lattice during lithiation, (2) reduced rate of tetrahedral site hopping (TSH) at high lithium concentrations, and (3) localized charge accumulation near low-valent …

On the application of numerical continuation to large-scale dynamical systems
… estimation error due to a phenomenon known as kinetic limitation. In the second part of this dissertation, our objective is to identify and, where possible, resolve singularities that may arise in the discretization of spatiotemporal boundary-value problems governing the steady-state behavior …
